Set custom metadata when audio is playing (Control Centre, Lockscreen...)

Summary

I am currently trying to set an app-wide default metadata for every time it plays audio. Currently, only the URL of the audio streaming is shown on the Control Centre and the Lockscreen. I am trying to my own custom values; however, I can't get it to work. It may be worth noting that the audio is playing through a UIWebView.

(Continued below screenshot)

Screenshot

ViewController.swift

import UIKit
import AVFoundation
import MediaPlayer

class ViewController: UIViewController, UIWebViewDelegate, UIScrollViewDelegate {

    var mPlayer: MPMediaItem!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let image = UIImage(named: "Artwork")!
        let artwork = MPMediaItemArtwork.init(boundsSize: image.size, requestHandler: { (size) -> UIImage in
                return image
            })

        let nowPlaying: NSDictionary = [MPMediaItemPropertyTitle: "Song",
                                        MPMediaItemPropertyArtist: "Artist",
                                        MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork: artwork]

        MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default().nowPlayingInfo = nowPlaying as? [String : Any]
    }
}

You have to initialize the MPMediaItemArtwork with its initializer

let image = UIImage(named: "Artwork")!
let artwork = MPMediaItemArtwork.init(boundsSize: image.size, requestHandler: { (size) -> UIImage in
    return image
})
