It already check isAppActive, however, it still crash.
It is normal when you press the home button. Please help


if (likely([sys->glESView isAppActive]))
vout_display_opengl_Display(sys->vgl, &vd->source);

This is not enough. You need to disable video decoding when the app is going to the background.

Hi Felix,
Any hins to disable video decoding?

How about I want to playing the audio in the lock screen status?

Check our code used in the VLC for iOS app. This part is quite well documented. You can disable video decoding while audio continues to play.

Hi Felix,

Can you be a little more specific in what needs to be done in. how to disable video decoding?
And what do you mean by.. Check our code used in the VLC for iOS app .... i tried looking for a manual, a code, did not find anything....

Thanks in advance,
Roger.
