Is it possible to set AVPlayer to allow the device to go to sleep during video playback?

Question

I am working on an application that involves using AVPlayer to have a video in the background of an interface.

We've found that while video is playing, the app will never go to sleep. Is there a way to tell AVPlayer to allow the app to go to sleep regardless?

Answer 1

Set preventsDisplaySleepDuringVideo to false or NO on the AVPlayer instance.
