Can’t play any background audio/video while playing a game about mobile HOT 12 CLOSED

I think, this can be fixed by updating forked soundpool plugin /ios configuration.
This can be prevented by calling/updating two simple methods on AVAudioSession sharedInstance in SwiftSoundpoolplugin:

AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.ambient, options: AVAudioSession.CategoryOptions.mixWithOthers)
AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)

@veloce what do you think?

Will try that.

Maybe fixed in a4b6819
(not tested).

I'm closing it but please reopen if the issue persist in next release.

@veloce Problem still exists in 0.8.10.

Really? I tried on iPhone and could play a game while listening to background audio without problem.

Tried again and this time it worked. But I definitely wasn’t hallucinating when it didn’t work earlier today. Resumed the audio several times and it paused after every move.

Just happened again when playing a PiP YouTube video (YouTube app). So far I haven’t found a way to reproduce. May be related to starting the video before starting the lichess app. When it happens, it keeps happening for the entire game (pauses after every move). 0.8.12

Happened again. Please reopen.

Unfortunately there's not much I can do if you don't reproduce all the time, and cannot predict when this will happen.

from mobile.

Perhaps someone else can figure out how to reproduce this bug consistently. Closing it seems like the wrong action to take.

I hit this bug at least once per day. Also affects game analysis. Doesn’t go away until the app is restarted.

Still happening every day. Seems to be happening the first time I play a PiP video on a given day. Problem persists until lichess app is restarted.
