- Pass `skipInterval` in the same `show()` call (or earlier) before enabling skip controls, so the interval is applied when controls are first set up.
- On Android, skip action icons show `15` when `skipInterval` is `15` (default); otherwise generic skip icons without a number are used.

#### `isLiveStream`

- Marks the current item as a live stream (e.g. live radio) rather than a track with a known duration.
- iOS only: maps to `MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyIsLiveStream`, which drives the "Live" label shown on the lock screen and CarPlay Now Playing UI.
- No effect on Android — there is no equivalent system-level indicator to map it to.

### `PlaybackControlName`
