VLCKit with SwiftUI - swift

Question

I would like to use VLCKit with SwiftUI.
why not AVPlayer ? because a some video formats are not supported.
Here is my code:
import SwiftUI
import UIKit
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
NavigationView
{
VStack{
PlayerView(url: "https://bitdash-a.akamaihd.net/content/sintel/hls/playlist.m3u8")
}
}
}
}
struct PlayerView: UIViewRepresentable {
public var url: String
let mediaPlayer = VLCMediaPlayer()
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIView {
let controller = UIView()
mediaPlayer.drawable = controller
let uri = URL(string: self.url)
let media = VLCMedia(url: uri!)
mediaPlayer.media = media
mediaPlayer.play()
return controller
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context: UIViewRepresentableContext<PlayerView>) {
}
}
This works and load the video but I would like to add playback controls (Full Screen, Play/Pause, forward, etc.).
I didn't find any documentation about this can anyone help me a bit,
Thanks
