How to listen to progress on Google Cast in iOS

Question

How can I listen to progress on Google Cast in iOS? I have implemented cast support in my app based on https://github.com/googlecast/CastVideos-ios but I don't want to use their GCKUIExpandedMediaControlsViewController class to control playback.

I added GCKRemoteMediaClientListener to GCKCastSession's GCKRemoteMediaClient. It calls

public func remoteMediaClient(_ client: GCKRemoteMediaClient, didUpdate mediaStatus: GCKMediaStatus?) {
        print("position: \(mediaStatus?.streamPosition)")
    }

But it's called every 10 seconds and I would like to get progress every second. Is there some way to do it? Or I have to implement my own timer and check current stream position every second?

Thanks

Same as your problem. After trying to find the solution for that issue, I use GCKUIMediaController to handle the progress timer.

_mediaController = [[GCKUIMediaController alloc] init];
_mediaController.playPauseToggleButton = _playButton;

_mediaController.nextButton = _nextButton;
_mediaController.previousButton = _previousButton;
_mediaController.streamPositionSlider = _timeSlider;
_mediaController.streamPositionLabel = _playedTimeLabel;
_mediaController.streamDurationLabel = _durationTimeLabel;
_mediaController.delegate = self;

Snip code above is an example I think can help you, I have used it for my project.
