Play video from Download URL - swift

Question

I have a URL :- "http://fitnation.theclientdemos.com:9000/media/uploads/videoplayback_3_JtVCHi1"
When I run this URL on browser, My VDO starts downloads.
Please help to play this video in a view (let view name is:- vdoView)
For this I am trying below code:-
import UIKit
import AVKit
import AVFoundation
class VideoViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var vdoView: UIView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
getVideo()
}
func getVideo(){
let videoURL = URL(string: "http://fitnation.theclientdemos.com:9000/media/uploads/videoplayback_3_JtVCHi1")
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
playerLayer.frame = self.vdoView.bounds
self.vdoView.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
player.play()
}

Answer 1

First you have to import AVKit, import AVFoundation
Using AVPlayer
if let url = URL(string: "http://fitnation.theclientdemos.com:9000/media/uploads/videoplayback_3_JtVCHi1"){
let player = AVPlayer(url: url)
let controller=AVPlayerViewController()
controller.player=player
controller.view.frame = self.view.frame
self.view.addSubview(controller.view)
self.addChildViewController(controller)
player.play()
}
It's better to put this code into the method: override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) or somewhere after.

override func viewDidLoad()
{
let videoURL = NSURL(string: "http://fitnation.theclientdemos.com:9000/media/uploads/videoplayback_3_JtVCHi1")
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL! as URL)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
playerViewController.player!.play()
}
}

You should try it like this
func getVideo(){
let videoURL = URL(string: "http://fitnation.theclientdemos.com:9000/media/uploads/videoplayback_3_JtVCHi1")
// Create an AVAsset
let videoAsset = AVAsset(url: videoURL!)
// Create an AVPlayerItem with asset
let videoPlayerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: videoAsset)
// Initialize player with the AVPlayerItem instance.
let player = AVPlayer(playerItem: videoPlayerItem)
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
playerLayer.frame = self.vdoView.bounds
self.vdoView.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
player.play()
}
And you should update your plist file to allow the contents from http: Refer here

*All you need is change your code to this:
import AVFoundation
class your class name
var player: AVPlayer?
func playAudio() {
guard let url = URL.init(string: "http://192.168.100.184:9050/uploads/sound/file/1/a1b19343-f785-4d48-b7d5-1abe26c03ff3.mp3" ) else { return }
player = AVPlayer.init(url: url)
}
and at the end call the func in IBAction body*
just like the code below:
#IBAction play (sender: Any) {
playAudio()
}
