MPNowPlayingInfoCenter AVPlayer on iOS 7

Viewed 4438

I'm making an app that streams music. I'm trying to display metadata (title, artist and artwork image) on the lock screen.

MPNowPlayingInfoCenter seems to work well with MediaPlayer.framework, but I can't figure to make it work with AVPlayer on iOS 7.

The player is working well in background mode thanks to AVAudioSession :

AVAudioSession *session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];    
[session setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:&error];
[session setActive:YES error:&error];

Here is my code for displaying metadata on lockscreen (which doesn't work) :

Class playingInfoCenter = NSClassFromString(@"MPNowPlayingInfoCenter");

if (playingInfoCenter)
{
    NSDictionary *nowPlaying = @{MPMediaItemPropertyArtist: currentTrack.artist,
                                 MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTitle: currentTrack.title};

    [[MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter] setNowPlayingInfo:nowPlaying];
}        

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks for reading this :)
