I am building an app similar to Vine and Twitter. I want to embed an AVPlayerViewController inside a UITableViewCell for easy video playback.
I used UITableViewCell.CellStyle to add some UI elements to the cell. The same process doesn't work for AVPlayerViewController.
let video: AVPlayerViewController = {
let videoURL = URL(string: "https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4")
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
let av = AVPlayerViewController()
av.player = player
av.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravity.resizeAspect
av.view.frame = CGRect(x:0, y:96, width: screenWidth, height: (screenWidth+7))
self.addChild(av)
self.addSubview(av.view)
av.didMove(toParent: self)
return av
}()
override init(style: UITableViewCell.CellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
addSubview(pic)
addSubview(title)
addSubview(video)
addSubview() works fine for adding an image, labels, and buttons to the table cell, but it won't work for AVPlayerViewController because it is not a UIView.
The error message is: Cannot convert value of type 'AVPlayerViewController' to expected argument type 'UIView'. How can I add video to the cell style?
It appears as though you're trying to use a view controller instead of a UIView
. This is an easy fix. Just use AVPlayerViewController.view
instead of AVPlayerViewController
. Let me know if you have any issues. Hope this helped
EDIT: I've found something that may help From this website
import Foundation
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
/// A simple `UIView` subclass that is backed by an `AVPlayerLayer` layer.
class VideoPlayerView: UIView {
var player: AVPlayer? {
get {
return playerLayer.player
}
set {
playerLayer.player = newValue
}
}
var playerLayer: AVPlayerLayer {
return layer as! AVPlayerLayer
}
override class var layerClass: AnyClass {
return AVPlayerLayer.self
}
}
let player = AVPlayer(url: urlToVideo)
let playerFrame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: existingView.frame.width, height: existingView.frame.height)
let videoPlayerView = VideoPlayerView(frame: playerFrame)
videoPlayerView.player = player
existingView.addSubview(videoPlayerView)
player.play()
Let me know if this worked. Best of luck making your app
Update
Thanks for the help Alex. After reviewing that example, I was able to add video to to the cell once I returned a UIView which contained the AVPlayer.
let videoFrame: UIView = {
let frame = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 95, width: screenWidth, height: 211))
let videoURL = URL(string: "https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4")
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
let video = AVPlayerViewController()
video.player = player
video.view.frame = frame.bounds
frame.addSubview(video.view)
video.player?.play()
return frame
}()
override init(style: UITableViewCell.CellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
addSubview(videoFrame)
