MPNowPlayingInfoCenter does't show previous and next buttons

I'm playing a video using AVPlayerViewController, and I noticed that in now playing center, previous and next buttons were replaced with 15 seconds back and forth seeking buttons. The problem is that I need previous and next buttons to be visible. Also I set updatesNowPlayingInfoCenter property to NO.

Solution

  • After some researching, I've found a solution: just disabled backward and forward MPSkipIntervalCommand:

    MPRemoteCommandCenter *rcc = [MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter];

MPSkipIntervalCommand *skipBackwardIntervalCommand = [rcc skipBackwardCommand];
[skipBackwardIntervalCommand setEnabled:NO];

MPSkipIntervalCommand *skipForwardIntervalCommand = [rcc skipForwardCommand];
[skipForwardIntervalCommand setEnabled:NO];
