AirPlay controls unresponsive on lock screen.

Hey everyone, I'm having an AirPlay issue with my video player and I was hoping someone could be of assistance.


My reproduction steps are as follows.

  1. I AirPlay to my AppleTV (via mobile web or using my app).
  2. Lock the phone.
  3. Pause the video.
  4. Attempt to play video.


Once I pause the video I am unable to resume it again. I can keep pressing pause/play but the video will not change state. Once I unlock the phone however, all of the previously unresponseive actions are executed and the video will be played/paused in rapid succession. Also, during this time of unresponsiveness, I am unable to execute any JavaScript in Safari's Console tab, or expand any of the HTML elements in the Elements tab. It's like the browser/player has been suspended or backgrounded and connectivity has been lost.


Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.
