The MPV backend now properly displays Now Playing information in iOS Control Center. The fix addresses the issue where the AVAudioSession would become inactive during MPV's playback lifecycle.
Key changes:
- Added setupAudioSessionForNowPlaying() method to activate AVAudioSession with proper playback category and movie playback mode
- Re-activate audio session at critical MPV events: FILE_LOADED, PLAYBACK_RESTART, AUDIO_RECONFIG, and during periodic updates
- Initialize audio session immediately after mpv_initialize() in MPVClient
The audio session must be re-activated at multiple points during playback, not just at initialization, to ensure iOS recognizes the app as playing media.
