Quick Start

1. Add VideoPlayerView to the interface.

let playerView = VideoPlayerView()
view.addSubview(playerView)

// Or in IB, specify the type of custom View as VideoPlayerView.

2. Play Video.

playerView.play(for: someURL)

3. Pause/Resume Video.

if playerView.state == .playing {
    playerView.pause(reason: .userInteraction)
} else {
    playerView.resume()
}

4. Update control UI based on playback status.

playerView.stateDidChanged = { state in
    switch state {
    case .none:
        print("none")
    case .error(let error):
        print("error - \(error.localizedDescription)")
    case .loading:
        print("loading")
    case .paused(let playing, let buffering):
        print("paused - progress \(Int(playing * 100))% buffering \(Int(buffering * 100))%")
    case .playing:
        print("playing")
    }
}

Cache

Get the total size of the video cache.

VideoCacheManager.calculateCachedSize()

Clean up all caches.

VideoCacheManager.cleanAllCache()

Preload

Set the video URL to be preloaded. Preloading will automatically cache a short segment of the beginning of the video and decide whether to start or pause the preload based on the buffering of the currently playing video.

VideoPreloadManager.shared.set(waiting: [URL])

Set the preload size, the default value is 1024 * 1024, unit is byte.

VideoPlayer.preloadByteCount = 1024 * 1024 // = 1M

Fullscreen

See demo.

PlayerView

Property

An object that manages a player's visual output.

public let playerLayer: AVPlayerLayer { get }

Get current video status.

public enum State {

    /// None
    case none

    /// From the first load to get the first frame of the video
    case loading

    /// Playing now
    case playing

    /// Pause, will be called repeatedly when the buffer progress changes
    case paused(playing: Double, buffering: Double)

    /// An error occurred and cannot continue playing
    case error(NSError)
}

public var state: State { get }

The reason the video was paused.

public enum PausedReason {

    /// Pause because the player is not visible, stateDidChanged is not called when the buffer progress changes
    case hidden

    /// Pause triggered by user interaction, default behavior
    case userInteraction

    /// Waiting for resource completion buffering
    case waitingKeepUp
}

public var pausedReason: PausedReason { get }

Number of replays.

public var replayCount: Int { get }

Played progress, value range 0-1.

public var playing: Double { get }

Played length in seconds.

public var currentDuration: Double { get }

Buffered progress, value range 0-1.

public var buffering: Double { get }

Buffered length in seconds.

public var currentBufferDuration: Double { get }

Total video duration in seconds.

public var totalDuration: Double { get }

The total watch time of this video, in seconds.

public var watchDuration: Double { get }

Whether the video is muted, only for this instance.

public var isMuted: Bool { get set }

Video volume, only for this instance.

public var volume: Double { get set }

Callback

Playback status changes, such as from play to pause.

public var stateDidChanged: ((State) -> Void)?

Replay after playing to the end.

public var replay: (() -> Void)?

Method
