AVPlayer with custom UITableViewCell

Question

I have created an AVPlayer object in custom UITableViewCell. As video playing inside UITableViewCell. When I leave that UIViewController, AVPlayer still running in background. How to stop AVPlayer and remove AVPlayerLayer from custom UITableViewCell?

Answer 1

You can pause the player on viewDidDisappear

override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
       self.playerViewController.player?.pause()
   }

Answer 2

var videoPlayer: AVPlayer!

Assign your UITableViewCell Player to this videoPlayer.

 override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
      videoPlayer.replaceCurrentItem(with: nil)
   }
