Allow music to be played in background for Safari on iOS

Author: maaaazCreated Oct 8, 2024Updated Nov 13, 2024

Hello and thank you for this amazing project !

To date, when playing audio from Safari on iOS, webamp music can't be played in the background. Not even with this "manually playing with the control center" trick.

I am not talking about autoplay, but only playing in the background after pressing the "play" button.

A lot of web-based players can play in the background, for instance the native player on archive.org. I am clueless about HTML/JS but it seems that Safari on iOS needs a proper <audio> tag in the HTML of the web page.

Can you adapt webamp to allow playing in background ?

Cheers!
