Dear VLC team,

As apple has now added API for PiP in ios15, when can we roughly expect that to be pushed in to vlc?

I am not sure how tough is this job, but some estimated time can be shared by the vlc team.

Many thanks for all the work you are doing.

Regards.

Indeed Apple finally added the API we need in iOS 15 to support this. However, they did it in a way that requires us to re-write the video output strategy in VLC for iOS/tvOS more or less in full. This is a bug amount of work that was already internally discussed for feasibility, but was not started yet. There is no way to determine a date when this is going to be ready.
