Summary:
It seems the when using picture in picture, there's no way to programmatically stop it. For example, when launching a video (AVPlayerViewController) in my app, I want to stop PiP from another app.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Play video
2. Start picture in picture
3. Play another video

Expected Results:
Existing picture in picture would stop

Actual Results:
Picture in picture plays over the top of the new video.

Version:
iOS 9.0 (simulator)

Notes:
Even if it wasn't automated, a way to stop the video programatically on a kind of sharedInstance of AVPictureInPictureController would be good.

Configuration:
iPad Air
