VIMVideoPlayer
VIMVideoPlayer is a simple wrapper around the AVPlayer and AVPlayerLayer classes.
Setup
Add the VIMVideoPlayerView and VIMVideoPlayer classes to your project.
Do this by including this repo as a git submodule or by using cocoapods:
# Add this to your podfile
target 'MyTarget' do
pod 'VIMVideoPlayer', ‘{CURRENT_POD_VERSION}’
endUsage
Create a new VIMVideoPlayerView instance or set up an @IBOutlet:
@IBOutlet weak var videoPlayerView: VIMVideoPlayerView!
...
override func viewDidLoad()
{
// Configure the player as needed
self.videoPlayerView.player.looping = true
self.videoPlayerView.player.disableAirplay()
self.videoPlayerView.setVideoFillMode(AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill)
self.videoPlayerView.delegate = self
}
Play a video:
// Using an NSURL
if let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("waterfall", ofType: "mp4")
{
self.videoPlayerView.player.setURL(NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path))
}
else
{
// Video file not found!
}
/*
Note: This must be a URL to an actual video resource (e.g. http://website.com/video.mp4 or .m3u8 etc.),
It cannot be a URL to a web page (e.g. https://vimeo.com/67069182),
See below for info on using VIMVideoPlayer to play Vimeo videos.
*/
// Using an AVPlayerItem
let playerItem: AVPlayerItem = ...
self.videoPlayerView.player.setPlayerItem(playerItem)
self.videoPlayerView.player.play()
// Or using an AVAsset
let asset: AVAsset = ...
self.videoPlayerView.player.setAsset(asset)
self.videoPlayerView.player.play()
Optionally implement the VIMVideoPlayerViewDelegate protocol methods:
protocol VIMVideoPlayerViewDelegate
{
optional func videoPlayerViewIsReadyToPlayVideo(videoPlayerView: VIMVideoPlayerView!)
optional func videoPlayerViewDidReachEnd(videoPlayerView: VIMVideoPlayerView!)
optional func videoPlayerView(videoPlayerView: VIMVideoPlayerView!, timeDidChange cmTime: CMTime)
optional func videoPlayerView(videoPlayerView: VIMVideoPlayerView!, loadedTimeRangeDidChange duration: Float)
optional func videoPlayerViewPlaybackBufferEmpty(videoPlayerView: VIMVideoPlayerView!)
optional func videoPlayerViewPlaybackLikelyToKeepUp(videoPlayerView: VIMVideoPlayerView!)
optional func videoPlayerView(videoPlayerView: VIMVideoPlayerView!, didFailWithError error: NSError!)
}
See VIMVideoPlayer.h for additional configuration options.
Playing Vimeo Videos
Vimeo Pro members can access playback URLs for Vimeo videos using the Vimeo API. Playback URLs are only included in the response object if the requesting account is a Vimeo Pro account.
If you have a Vimeo Pro account, when you make a request to the Vimeo API for a video object the response object will contain a list of video files. These represent the various resolution video files available for this particular video. Each has a link. You can use the string value keyed to link to create an NSURL. You can pass this NSURL to VIMVideoPlayer for playback.
Check out this Stack Overflow question for additional info.
You can use the Vimeo iOS SDK to interact with the Vimeo API.
