Play in background on iOS

To enable audio to play in background on iOS the audio session needs to be set to AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback. See [Apple documentation][3] for additional details. (NOTE: there is now a ticket to expose this as a prop )
`

This may need to be updated since 310 is closed and might not exactly relate to exposing a prop for playing in the background on iOS.

My video stops playing when the device is locked on iOS. Is there something I need to change?

[paulrinaldi]

Initial issue I posted is fixed. Tested on 6.2.0 iOS 15.

Yes, there is a prop, see the wiki. Likely https://thewidlarzgroup.github.io/react-native-video/component/props#playwheninactive.

Accidentally closed this issue, this is still an issue from what I'm seeing playInBackground={true} is not sufficient on 6.2.0 iPhone 13 Pro Max v15.3.
