pictureInPicture={false} is not working

[nealwwilliams]

I have pictureInPicture set to false but the setting is ignored. When I swipe up the app goes to background and video goes to picture-in-picture. I have picture-in-picture enabled in xcode only because I also need background audio for other features of the app. I have pictureInPicture, playInBackground both set to false. iOS 14.5

			<Video source={this.state.videoSrc} 
				ref={(ref) => { this.player = ref }}                                     
				resizeMode={'cover'}
				style={styles.video}
				onProgress={this.videoProgress}
				controls={true}
				pictureInPicture={false}
				playInBackground={false}
			/>

Library version: 5.1.1

Same issue, when I click the home button on my iPad and intented to back to home screen. The video turns into "picture-in-picture" mode even set pictureInPicture={false}.

It's not an ideal user experience because you see it closing in the top right and when go to task manager still says in picture in picture but it does not keep it in picture in picture if you set all these like this...

playInBackground={true}
playWhenInactive={true} 
ignoreSilentSwitch="silent"
pictureInPicture={false}

I'm experiencing this issue on an iOS app, looking at the source code it seems that setupPipController is not checking if pictureInPicture has been enabled or not. I've been able to fix this by patching the library and adding that check.

Version 5.2.1

I'm using the video player as a screen background and unfortunately the video pops out into picture-in-picture whenever a user opens the App Switcher. It seems like I should be able to prevent this behavior with the pictureInPicture prop, but it's not working.

I think this issue may have resurfaced. It looks like maybe the pictureInPicture prop was left by the wayside during the Swift conversion? #2527
