Please describe the issue in detail, with relevant code samples using with Ionic 4 and Issues come up with video if you cancel/close it manually during Airplay with Apple TV.

const options: StreamingVideoOptions = { successCallback: () => { console.log('Video played') }, errorCallback: (e) => { console.log('Error streaming') }, orientation: 'landscape', shouldAutoClose: true, controls: false }; this.streamingMedia.playVideo(File.applicationDirectory + 'www/assets/videos/test.mp4', options);

What actually happened? I'm mirriong my ipad on AppleTV. If I stop a video in the middle by pressing the cross on top left corner it stop the video on ipad and go back to page on the ipad but video gets stuck on the Apple TV and don't go back to the application.

Research direction
Investigate the iOS native code in the StreamingMedia plugin, likely in the .m or .swift files. Look for how video playback is paused or stopped when the user cancels and how AirPlay session is handled. Check if there is a callback for when the video is closed prematurely. The issue might require adding an observer for AirPlay disconnection or handling the stop event properly. Refer to the iOS AVPlayer documentation for handling interruptions.
