title: Is there a way to stop the AVPlayer's rate property being reset?
body: <p>I'm using an AVPlayer object for video playback and have a control to adjust the player's rate.</p>
  
  <p>This all works fine except that the rate value of the AVplayer object appears to be reset to 1.0 every time the stop/pause button is pressed. Is there a way to prevent this happening?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks.</p>
