How to resize AVPlayer width and height in Swift

Question

I am using AVKit to play a video from url and the video is playing without any issue. I created a PlayerViewClass to assign player to the view.

PlayerViewClass.swift

import UIKit
import AVKit
import AVFoundation


class PlayerViewClass: UIView {

override static var layerClass: AnyClass {

    return AVPlayerLayer.self
}

var playerLayer: AVPlayerLayer {
    return layer as! AVPlayerLayer
}

var player: AVPlayer? {
    get {
        return playerLayer.player
    }

    set {
        playerLayer.player = newValue
    }
}

}

And I used it in cellForItemAt method in my ViewController

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    guard let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "videoCell", for: indexPath) as? VideoCollectionCell else {
            return UICollectionViewCell()
        }

    let videoUrl = URL(string: "file.mp4")

    let avPlayer = AVPlayer(url: videoUrl!)
    cell.playerView.playerLayer.player = avPlayer
    cell.playerView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 352, height: 180) // it is not resizing
    cell.playerView.player?.play()
    return cell
}

I don't understand how can I resize my Player to the whole cell myCell is of height and width:-

CGSize(width: 352, height: 180)

CollectionViewCell class:-

class VideoCollectionCell: UICollectionViewCell {

@IBOutlet weak var playerView: PlayerViewClass!


override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()

}
}

Please help.

Answer 1

The code is wrong. Every view has a layer.

While it's layer is CALayer , not AVPlayerLayer.

class PlayerViewClass: UIView {

override static var layerClass: AnyClass {

    return AVPlayerLayer.self
}

var playerLayer: AVPlayerLayer {
    return layer as! AVPlayerLayer
}

You are using CGRect ,

cell.playerView.frame= CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 352, height: 180)

this is CGSize

CGSize(width: 352, height: 180)

Try this:-

extension yourViewController : UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
        layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
        sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
        // your code here
        //width and height as per your requirement
        return CGSize(width: yourWidth, height: yourHeight)
    }
}

I hope this will help you, thanks.
