public func playerPlaybackWillStartFromBeginning(_ player: Player) {
}
public func playerPlaybackDidEnd(_ player: Player) {
}
public func playerCurrentTimeDidChange(_ player: Player) {
let fraction = Double(player.currentTime) / Double(player.maximumDuration)
self._playbackViewController?.setProgress(progress: CGFloat(fraction), animated: true)
