Hi, I'm trying to play Apple Music songs using storeID like this:
playerController = MPMusicPlayerController.applicationMusicPlayer
playerController?.beginGeneratingPlaybackNotifications()
playerController?.setQueue(with: [storeID])
playerController?.prepareToPlay() { error in
if error == nil {
playerController?.play()
}
}The problem is that sometimes the playback starts as expected and sometimes just gives me this log without explaining anything else:
[SDKPlayback] -[MPMusicPlayerController play] completed error: Error Domain=MPCPlayerRequestErrorDomain Code=1000 "Failed to send command 0" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Failed to send command 0, NSUnderlyingError=0x1d4a44680 {Error Domain=MPCPlayerRequestErrorDomain Code=1000 "Failed to send command 0 (MRMediaRemoteCommandHandlerStatus = 1)" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Failed to send command 0 (MRMediaRemoteCommandHandlerStatus = 1), MPCPlayerErrorKeyMediaRemoteCommandHandlerStatus=1}}}
[SDKPlayback] Failed validators: {(
play
)}I can't observe that error to try something else, cause the play() method doesn't give's any return, closure, notification, to track it.
Do you know how can I at least observe that? Is it normal?
I tested this in iOS 11.4 and iOS 12 beta and I'm sure that the items are available to playback.
Thank you so much in advance!
Finally I solved this listening for MPMusicPlayerControllerPlaybackStateDidChange, when I receive that notification I just check if the MPMusicPlayerController.nowPlayingItem is nil or not and if is still nil I repeat all the process to start playing that song. Something like this:
@objc func handleMusicPlayerControllerPlaybackStateDidChange() {
if self.playerController?.nowPlayingItem == nil {
self.playAppleMusic(song: song)
}
}Hope it can help somebody!
