iOS7 AVQueueplayer background loop (loop queued music in background)

Question

This is my first post and I have a problem that I am completely stumped on. I have a AVQueueplayer with multiple mp3's posted on a server.

The app plays and loops while the app is in the foreground. However, when I press the home button, queueplayer stops looping.

Here is the code I have so far

-(void)playselectedsong{

    NSError *sessionError = nil;
    [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setDelegate:self];
    [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord     error:&sessionError];


    UInt32 doChangeDefaultRoute = 1;
    AudioSessionSetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_OverrideCategoryDefaultToSpeaker, sizeof(doChangeDefaultRoute), &doChangeDefaultRoute);





     NSString* musicURL= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", getMusicURL, [musicArray     objectAtIndex:0]];
     NSString* musicURL2= [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", getMusicURL, [musicArray objectAtIndex:1]];



     NSArray *queue = @[[AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:musicURL]], [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:musicURL2]]];
     AVQueuePlayer *qplayer = [[AVQueuePlayer alloc] initWithItems:queue];
     self.queuePlayer=qplayer;
     [qplayer play];
     qplayer.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionAtItemEndAdvance;

     [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(playerItemDidReachEnd:)
                                             name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification
                                           object:[queue lastObject]];


    }


    - (void)playerItemDidReachEnd:(NSNotification *)notification {

     //  code here to play next sound file
         NSLog(@"playeritemdidreachend");
         [self playselectedsong ];

     }

Answer 1

1. Adjust your project for playing audio in background (see here)

2. Start playing via

   dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
       [avqueueplayerinstance play];            
   });//end block`
