This release improves Picture in Picture support in advanced scenarios involving several video views supporting it, avoiding unexpected playback interruptions in some cases.

Picture in Picture fixes and improvements

  • Improve Picture in Picture stability in complex view hierarchies involving several supporting VideoViews or SystemVideoViews.
  • Add method to start Picture in Picture programmatically. This method must only be called in response to some form of user interaction.
  • Add PictureInPicturePersistable method informing implementations that Picture in Picture has been closed from the Picture in Picture overlay.

Miscellaneous improvements

  • Remove VideoView internal animations when loading content. If applications desire such animations they can animate the video view directly.
  • Adjust monitoring data.
  • Update comScore SDK to its most recent version.

Breaking changes

  • Chapters associated with a media composition are provided by MediaMetadata, not MediaComposition directly anymore.

Fixes

  • Fix glitches affecting VideoView during animations.
  • Fix Control Center restoration after mixable to non-mixable audio session transitions on iOS and tvOS 16 / 17 devices.
  • Avoid pausing playback when a monoscopic video view is destroyed.
  • Fix crashes when loading URNs for which a main chapter is not available from the associated media composition chapter list.

Demo improvements

  • Add iOS 18 dark and tinted icons.
