tvOS, tvjs: How to hook into MediaPlayer (...)/"more" button?

118 views Asked by At

While playing audio using the std. tvOS/tvjs media player "touching" the remote will let you navigate to the (...) or "More" button.

enter image description here

I am trying to catch the button press and display a menu overlay in play tvjs/javascript - so far without much success. Tvjs error out with the following msg: Attempting to load the view of a view controller while it is deallocating is not allowed and may result in undefined behavior (<UIAlertController: 0x7f88eaf2be80>)

Apple's documentation doesn't seem to explain that... I even tried adding an event listener (on select and/or play) on the player itself (well, it's not documented that way... but was my last shot :-)

Does anybody have an idea on how to hook into this button? I really would appreciate any help!

Looks like this actually was a tvOS limitation, which got fixed with v9.2...
