CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

CocoaPods 1.3+ is required to build ModernAVPlayer.

To integrate ModernAVPlayer into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'ModernAVPlayer'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Getting started

Create media from URL

let media = ModernAVPlayerMedia(url: URL, type: MediaType)

Create media from AVPlayerItem

let media = ModernAVPlayerMediaItem(item: AVPlayerItem, type: MediaType, metadata: PlayerMediaMetadata)

Instanciate the wrapper

let player = ModernAVPlayer()

Load and play the media

player.load(media: media, autostart: true)

Custom command

Use your own PlayerConfiguration implementation with 

...
useDefaultRemoteCommand = false
...

Create an array of commands conforming to ModernAVPlayerRemoteCommand protocol. 

let player = ModernAVPlayer(config: YourConfigImplementation())
let commands: [ModernAVPlayerRemoteCommand] = YourRemoteCommandFactory.commands
player.remoteCommands = commands

You can use existing commands from public ModernAVPlayerRemoteCommandFactory class.

RxSwift

Instead of using delegate pattern, you can use rx to bind player attributes.

Usage

let player = ModernAVPlayer()
let state: Observable<ModernAVPlayer.State> = player.rx.state
