SwiftUI - AVPlayerViewController Full Screen on tvOS - swift

Question

I am able to present an AVPlayerViewController from SwiftUI but there is some padding around the video and I would like for it to be full-screen.
From the SwiftUI portion there is the following:
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
List {
ForEach(topicsArray) { topic in
Section(header: Text(topic.title)) {
ForEach(0..<topic.shows.count) { index in
NavigationLink(destination: PlayerView(showID: topic.shows[index])) {
ShowCell(showID: topic.shows[index])
}
.navigationBarTitle("")
.navigationBarHidden(true)
}
}
}
}
.listStyle(GroupedListStyle())
.padding()
}.onAppear(perform: initialDataLoad)
}
The code being called from the NavigationLink that shows the player is:
struct PlayerView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
var showID:Int
func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> AVPlayerViewController {
let pv = PlayerViewController()
pv.showID = showID
return pv
}
func updateUIViewController(_ viewController: AVPlayerViewController, context: Context) {
}
}
class PlayerViewController: AVPlayerViewController {
var showID:Int! {
didSet {
setup()
}
}
private var videoLaunch:VideoLaunch!
private func setup() {
videoLaunch = VideoLaunch(showID: showID,
season: nil,
episodeID: nil,
selectedIndex: IndexPath(row: 0, section: 0),
showType: .single,
dataStructure: topics as Any,
screenType: .live)
playVideo()
}
private func playVideo() {
guard let videoURL = self.videoLaunch.getMediaURL() else {print("Problem getting media URL");return}
self.player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
self.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill
self.player?.play()
}
I have tried setting the bounds and using the modalpresentationstyle for fullscreen, but none have had any impact. There is still what looks like a 10 point border around the video.

Answer 1

I was able to solve the issue by inserting the following within the PlayerViewController class.
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
self.view.bounds = UIScreen.main.bounds
}
