Usage

The sample project provides an example of how to integrate Player, otherwise you can follow these steps.

Allocate and add the Player controller to your view hierarchy.

 self.player = Player()
 self.player.playerDelegate = self
 self.player.playbackDelegate = self
 self.player.view.frame = self.view.bounds

 self.addChildViewController(self.player)
 self.view.addSubview(self.player.view)
 self.player.didMove(toParentViewController: self)

Provide the file path to the resource you would like to play locally or stream. Ensure you’re including the file extension.

let videoUrl: URL = // file or http url
self.player.url = videoUrl

play/pause/chill

 self.player.playFromBeginning()

Adjust the fill mode for the video, if needed.

 self.player.fillMode = PlayerFillMode.resizeAspectFit.avFoundationType

Display video playback progress, if needed.

extension ViewController: PlayerPlaybackDelegate {

    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)
    }

    public func playerPlaybackWillLoop(_ player: Player) {
        self. _playbackViewController?.reset()
    }

}
