Luke 37272 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Unfortunately we can't do it with our custom player based on mpv, so this means we'd have to go back to the native apple player which won't support as many formats without transcoding. So it is a little bit of a trade-off. What we are hoping for is that the iOS SDK will expand so that we can do this with mpv. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im85288 1493 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Fair enough thanks for the detailed reply, I think most people would prefer the direct play the custom player offers now so hopefully in the future the iOS SDK will allow this to happen as it’s a very nice feature to have.

Luke 37272 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Thanks. On android for example, any View can become the Pip window, but on iOS currently it can only be the native video player view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelqwe 315 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Not 100% sure how the implementation of mpv works, but perhaps it would be possible with this? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avkit/adopting_picture_in_picture_in_a_custom_player I also don't know if Apple defines a "custom player" as a playing using their engine, but a custom UI, or a completely different engine. It's possible you've seen this documentation page before and this doesn't do anything useful, but in case you didn't, here you go.

Luke 37272 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 We'll have to look but I'm not sure we can hook libmpv into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelqwe 315 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 We'll have to look but I'm not sure we can hook libmpv into that. It probably won’t work, but just though you should take a look in case you had not seen this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaground 0 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Would it be possible to toggle the player from the app settings? Emby Custom <-> iOS Native Edited November 11, 2018 by Lavaground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37272 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 In theory, but that means keeping two player options working just for this one feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im85288 1493 Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 I hope some solution can be found eventually as it’s a very useful feature and eventually I would expect iPhones to start having this feature too (which would make it more in demand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavaground 0 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the quick reply Luke. Also hoping for solution, would make my balcony sessions a lot more entertaining. Living in a brand new "active" house has its downsides, like crappy wifi and cellular due to metal particles in the windows to make use of sunlight warming up the flat. So i need to sync my stuff to the ipad as hearthstone takes all of the wifis outdoor-bandwith. Edited November 11, 2018 by Lavaground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
