Certain songs not playing through MPMusicPlayerController

435 views Asked by At

I'm creating an app that can playback songs from Apple Music using the MPMusicPlayerController for people with a subscription.

I've run into a problem where certain songs fail to play whilst others work fine and I'm not sure why this would be the case.

The ID for a song that wouldn't work is 627511704. I've double checked some songs that don't work using the iTunes search API just to confirm that they do actually exist on the store which they did.

Here's the code where I attempt to queue the MPMusicPlayerController with an ID

func playWithAppleMusic(track: Track) {
    guard let id = track.appleMusicID else { return }
    self.appleMusicPlayer = MPMusicPlayerController.applicationMusicPlayer()
    self.appleMusicPlayer?.prepareToPlay()
    self.appleMusicPlayer?.setQueueWithStoreIDs([String(id)])
    self.appleMusicPlayer?.currentPlaybackTime = 0
    self.appleMusicPlayer?.repeatMode = .none
    self.appleMusicPlayer?.shuffleMode = .off
    self.appleMusicPlayer?.play()
    self.startTimer()
}

I have also tried using an instance of MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer() instead but that also did not work and wouldn't queue the song in the Apple Music app either.

Anybody know if I am doing something wrong here or is it just Apple's API being buggy again?

Thanks
