I have an iOS application which plays back HTTP live streams at rates between 0 and 1 depending on user input. In the past I've tried to add airplay to my app but it would only play back at full speed and setRate didn't seem to work. This was quite a while ago, and I was hoping something had changed. I noticed there is a call for setting external playback rate but it specifically isn't allowed on HTTP Live Streams https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avplayer/1386591-setrate
If it's possible for MP4 based playback that's an option, but HTTP Live Streaming would be much preferrable.
Bonus question - is there a way to disallow the user to play, pause or skip playback using the apple tv remote? The app in question is attempting to tie the video playback to user exercise rates, so letting them skip around doesn't really make sense.
