Storyboard
Just add a view and add as a class on Identity inspector > Custom Class > Class, make sure to add Module if is imported externaly (Pod, Package manager ....)
import PlayerView
@IBOutlet var playerVideo: PlayerView!
Code
Just need to add de view as a normal View:
import PlayerView
let playerVideo = PlayerVideo()
//also could add frame:
// let playerVideo = PlayerVideo(frame: frame)
view.addSubView(playerVideo)
Control
//set aspect mode of video
//default AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill
playerVideo.fillMode = .ResizeAspect
//Set or Get the seconds of the current time of reproduction
//this will set to reproduce on 3.5 seconds
playerVideo.currentTime = 3.5
//define the time interval to get callback delegate of the current time of reproduction, default sends 60 times on 1 second
//default CMTimeMake(1, 60)
//this send the time one time per one second
playerVideo.interval = CMTimeMake(1, 1)
//set and get the speed of reproduction
//if speed is set to 0, the video will pause (same as playerVideo.pause())
//if speed is set to 1,0, the video will pause (same as playerVideo.play())
playerVideo.rate = 0.5
//play the video at rate 1.0
playerVideo.play()
// pause the video on current time
playerVideo.pause()
// stop the video on current time
playerVideo.stop()
// stop the video on current time
playerVideo.next()
//to set the url of Video
if let url = NSURL(string: "http://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_30mb.mp4") {
playerVideo.url = url
//or
playerVideo.urls = [url]
//add videos on queue
playerVideo.addVideosOnQueue(urls: [url])
}
//Take a screenshot on time, and return time to ensure the tolerance of the image
//on 20.7 seconds
let(image1, time1) = playerVideo.screenshotTime(20.7)
//on actual time
let(image2, time2) = playerVideo.screenshotTime()
//on actual time
let image3 = playerVideo.screenshot()
//reset queue and observers
playerVideo.resetPlayer()
Delegate
you could get event data from the PlayerView, just implement the delegate all the functions are optionals
import PlayerView
import AVFoundation
playerVideo.delegate = self
extension MyClass:PlayerViewDelegate {
func playerVideo(player: PlayerView, statusPlayer: PlayerViewStatus, error: NSError?) {
//got the status of the player
//useful to know if is ready to play
//if status is unknown then got the error
}
func playerVideo(player: PlayerView, statusItemPlayer: PlayerViewItemStatus, error: NSError?) {
//some status got here first, this is the status of AVPlayerItem
//useful to know if is ready to play
//if status is unknown then got the error
}
func playerVideo(player: PlayerView, loadedTimeRanges: [PlayerviewTimeRange]) {
//got the buffer of the video
//to know the progress loaded
//this will get the seconds of the end of the buffer
//loadedTimeRanges.first!.end.seconds
}
func playerVideo(player: PlayerView, duration: Double) {
//the player knows the duration of the video to reproduce on seconds
}
func playerVideo(player: PlayerView, currentTime: Double) {
//executed using the playerVideo.interval
//only executed when the is reproducing, on pause (rate == 1) this doesn't execute
//default executed like 60 frames per seconds, so 60 times on a second
}
func playerVideo(player: PlayerView, rate: Float) {
//if the speed of reproduction changed by pausing, playing or changing speed
}
func playerVideo(playerFinished player: PlayerView) {
//when the video finishes the reproduction to the end
}
}
Extra Info
If you like another shorcut, have a better implementation of something or just say thanks, just send me an email [email protected]
Im using a video on http, so I needed to add this on the
info.plist
to accept all on http, this is not safe to use on production, so better to add only trusted domains or use https
