Issue with onPlayPauseCommand - tvOS

Using Swift
,
1

I am having issues with the following code. Basically I have the following code and I want it to pause the music that is playing however it seems to not fire. I am wondering what is the correct way to get tvOS to recognise the play pause button on the remote control.

.onPlayPauseCommand(perform: {
    MusicPlayer.shared.player?.pause()
    
})

    @State var showDetail = String(false)
    var body: some View {
       
                            VStack{
                                
                                 Text("Interactive Radio").font(.headline).bold().multilineTextAlignment(.leading)
                                 Text(showDetail)
                                 Text("Hello, World!")
                                    .onLongPressGesture {
                                        print("Long pressed!")
                                    }

I appreicate this is really old but I just raised this with Apple Feedback but didn't want the information to go to waste.

Setting AVPlayerViewController.requiresLinearPlayback disables calls to onPlayPauseCommand on pause, however play still functions.

Digging down it appears that AVPlayerViewController somehow overrides the normal handing of UIPress.PressType.playPause as [UIApplication sendEvent:] itself is bypassed when pausing (it’s still called when resuming playing).

It may be the case that the original code behind MusicPlayer is pulling the same trick.
