Use case

Using screen mirroring on an iPhone while a video is playing should transfer video playback to the Airplay target.
Right now, the full app is mirrored.

Proposal

Setting following properties in video_player_avfoundation fixes the issue for me:

  _player.allowsExternalPlayback = YES;
  _player.usesExternalPlaybackWhileExternalScreenIsActive = YES;
