I am trying to stream an m3u8 url and save offline.
Then play from offline.
I am using Apple HTTP Live Streaming
Start Download by using the below code
func setupAssetDownload() {
// Create new background session configuration.
configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.background(withIdentifier: DOWNLOAD_ID)
// Create a new AVAssetDownloadURLSession with background configuration, delegate, and queue
downloadSession = AVAssetDownloadURLSession(configuration: configuration,
assetDownloadDelegate: self,
delegateQueue: OperationQueue.main)
let url = URL(string: urlString)
let asset = AVURLAsset(url: url!)
// Create new AVAssetDownloadTask for the desired asset
let downloadTask = downloadSession.makeAssetDownloadTask(asset: asset, assetTitle: "asset_Title", assetArtworkData: nil, options: nil)
// Start task and begin download
downloadTask?.resume()
}
Where,
let DOWNLOAD_ID = "downloadIdentifier"
let urlString = "http://domain/vod/mp4:sample1.mp4/playlist.m3u8"
// Saving the Download Location
func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, assetDownloadTask: AVAssetDownloadTask, didFinishDownloadingTo location: URL) {
print("didFinishDownloadingTo \(location.relativePath)")
// Do not move the asset from the download location
UserDefaults.standard.set(location.relativePath, forKey: "assetPath")
}
When try to play Offline,
I can get the AVURLAsset,
<AVURLAsset: 0x1742319e0, URL = file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/79C0043F-6161-4231-9129-B71C95903E05/Library/com.apple.UserManagedAssets.bhVNRN/asset_Title_63128673BE57FBDD.movpkg/>
But, not paying from the asset.
func playOfflineAsset() {
guard let assetPath = UserDefaults.standard.value(forKey: "assetPath") as? String else {
// Present Error: No offline version of this asset available
return
}
let baseURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSHomeDirectory())
let assetURL = baseURL.appendingPathComponent(assetPath)
let asset = AVURLAsset(url: assetURL)
let player = AVPlayer(url:assetURL)
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
playerLayer.frame = videoView2.bounds
playerLayer.backgroundColor = UIColor.purple.cgColor
videoView2.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
player.play()
if let cache = asset.assetCache, cache.isPlayableOffline {
// Set up player item and player and begin playback
print("exist")
} else {
// Present Error: No playable version of this asset exists offline
print("doesn't exist")
}
}
you need add AVPlayerController to AVPlayer can play with sounds, i dont know why, but its work for me
// Set up player item and player and begin playback
let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: asset)
player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)
// play without present playerController
self.player?.play()
// play with present playerController
// let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
// playerController.player = player
// self.present(playerController, animated: true) {
// self.player?.play()
// }
Edit: Make sure hls not encrypt.

I recorded a 240 fps video after changing the AVCaptureDeviceFormat. If I save that video in the photo library, the slowmo effect is there. But, If I play that file from documents directory, using an AVPlayer, I cant see the slowmo effect.
Code to play the video:
AVPlayerItem *playerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset:[AVAsset assetWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:fullPath]]];
AVPlayer *feedVideoPlayer = [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:playerItem];
AVPlayerViewController *playerController = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc] init];
playerController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, videoPreviewView.frame.size.width, videoPreviewView.frame.size.height);
playerController.player = feedVideoPlayer;
It's a bit annoying, but I believe you'll need to re-create the video in an AVComposition if you don't want to lose quality. I'd love to know if there is another way, but this is what I've come up with. You can technically export the video via AVAssetExportSession, but using a PassThrough quality will result in the same video file, which won't be slow motion- you'll need to transcode it, which loses quality (AFAIK. See Issue playing slow-mo AVAsset in AVPlayer for that solution).
The first thing you'll need to do is grab the source media's original time mapping objects. You can do that like so:
let options = PHVideoRequestOptions()
options.version = PHVideoRequestOptionsVersion.current
options.deliveryMode = .highQualityFormat
PHImageManager().requestAVAsset(forVideo: phAsset, options: options, resultHandler: { (avAsset, mix, info) in
guard let avAsset = avAsset else { return }
let originalTimeMaps = avAsset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo)
.first?
.segments
.flatMap { $0.timeMapping } ?? []
}
Once you have timeMappings of the original media (the one sitting in your documents directory), you can pass in the URL of that media and the original CMTimeMapping objects that you would like to recreate. Then create a new AVComposition that is ready to play in an AVPlayer. You'll need a class similar to this:
class CompositionMapper {
let url: URL
let timeMappings: [CMTimeMapping]
init(for url: URL, with timeMappings: [CMTimeMapping]) {
self.url = url
self.timeMappings = timeMappings
}
init(with asset: AVAsset, and timeMappings: [CMTimeMapping]) {
guard let asset = asset as? AVURLAsset else {
print("cannot get a base URL from this asset.")
fatalError()
}
self.timeMappings = timeMappings
self.url = asset.url
}
func compose() -> AVComposition {
let composition = AVMutableComposition(urlAssetInitializationOptions: [AVURLAssetPreferPreciseDurationAndTimingKey: true])
let emptyTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid)
let audioTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeAudio, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid)
let asset = AVAsset(url: url)
guard let videoAssetTrack = asset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo).first else { return composition }
var segments: [AVCompositionTrackSegment] = []
for map in timeMappings {
let segment = AVCompositionTrackSegment(url: url, trackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid, sourceTimeRange: map.source, targetTimeRange: map.target)
segments.append(segment)
}
emptyTrack.preferredTransform = videoAssetTrack.preferredTransform
emptyTrack.segments = segments
if let _ = asset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo).first {
audioTrack.segments = segments
}
return composition.copy() as! AVComposition
}
You can then use the compose() function of your CompositionMapper class to give you an AVComposition that is ready to play in an AVPlayer, which should respect the CMTimeMapping objects that you've passed in.
let compositionMapper = CompositionMapper(for: someAVAssetURL, with: originalTimeMaps)
let mappedComposition = compositionMapper.compose()
let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: mappedComposition)
let player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)
playerItem.audioTimePitchAlgorithm = AVAudioTimePitchAlgorithmVarispeed
Let me know if you need help converting this to Objective-C, but it should be relatively straight forward.
I am creating video player application in ios,if i store mp4 file in bundle resource or if i stream url it is working fine but if i store a file in document direcory and i am trying to play with avplayer it is not playing should i handle differently with offline file in document directory
code:
let fileManager = FileManager()
let destinationURLForFile = URL(fileURLWithPath: documentDirectoryPath.appendingFormat("/myvideo.mp4"))
self.playVideo(filePath: destinationURLForFile.path)
func playVideo(filePath:String)
{
var playerItem = AVPlayerItem.init(url:URL.init(string: filePath)!)
var player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)
var playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
playerLayer.frame = self.view.frame
self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
player.play()
}
Try this, written in Swift 3.0,
let fm = FileManager.default
let docsurl = try! fm.url(for:.documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: false)
let path = docsurl.appendingPathComponent("myvideo.mp4")
playVideo(filePath: path)
func playVideo(filePath:String)
{
var playerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)
var player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)
var playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
playerLayer.frame = self.view.frame
self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
player.play()
}
swift 3/4 100%%%%%%% workable
Recorder open video camera
#IBAction func RecordAction(_ sender: Any) {
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.camera){

imagePicker.allowsEditing = false
imagePicker.showsCameraControls = true
self.present(imagePicker,animated: true, completion: nil)

}
}
save to document directory
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
// recover video URL
let url = info[UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] as? URL
// check if video is compatible with album
let compatible: Bool = UIVideoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum((url?.path)!)
// save
if compatible {
UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum((url?.path)!, self, nil, nil)
print("saved!!!! \(String(describing: url?.path))")
}
videopath = url //save url to send next function play video
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
// error
func video(_ videoPath: String, didFinishSavingWithError error: Error?, contextInfo: UnsafeMutableRawPointer) {
}
play video from Document directory
#IBAction func playvideo(_ sender: Any)
{
let player = AVPlayer(url: videopath!) // video path coming from above function
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
playerViewController.player!.play()
}
}
I tried several methods including the above, but found that the documents path changes for the app each time it is launched, which changes the first part of the URL.
This helped me to get the current location of my file:
let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0]
let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: documentsPath.appendingFormat("/\(clipId).mp4")))
player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)
I received video from node sever in chunks of data. But video does not play in AVPlayer. Here is my code.
let videoUrl = http://staging.teemo.me/api/video/stream/sample12.MOV
playVideo(path:videoUrl, self)
func playVideo(path:String, controller:UIViewController){
let yourFinalVideoURL = path
try! AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, with: [])
if (yourFinalVideoURL != "") {
let player = AVPlayer(url: NSURL(fileURLWithPath: yourFinalVideoURL) as URL)
let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerController.player = player
controller.present(playerController, animated: true) {
//player.play()
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
player.playImmediately(atRate: 1.0)
} else {
player.play()
}
}
}
}
The follow code works for me:
let videoURL = URL(string: "Some url")
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
playerViewController.player!.play()
}
However when I tried to use your url it doesn't work.
I added the NSAppTransportSecurity in .plist, but it didn't work either.
It is obvious that you have a problem with the url, try to change the extension of the file sample12.MOV to sample12.mp4
I am using AVPlayer to play local video in background using loop and video is playing fine but after finishing video it takes pause to play video in loop. I have tried many methods and also seen many post on stack overflow but i failed to find appropriate solution. I am using Swift3.
Code is here :
var videoplayer :AVPlayer = AVPlayer()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "background4", ofType: "mp4")
videoplayer = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path!))
videoplayer.volume = 0
videoplayer.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionAtItemEnd.none;
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: videoplayer)
playerLayer.frame = self.view.frame
playerLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill
if (videoplayer.rate != 0) {
print("playing videoplayer")
self.blurBgImage.isHidden = true
}
playerLayer.zPosition = -1
videoplayer.rate = 0
videoplayer.play()
self.blurBgImage.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: videoplayer.currentItem, queue: nil, using: { (_) in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
let t1 = CMTimeMake(5, 100)
self.videoplayer.seek(to: t1)
self.videoplayer.play()
}
})
}
I have also tried AVPlayerLooper.
Code is :
var playerLooper: NSObject?
var playerLayer:AVPlayerLayer!
var queuePlayer: AVQueuePlayer?
func playVideo(_ filmName: String){
if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: filmName, ofType: "mp4") let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: path)
if #available(tvOS 10.0, *) {
let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: url as URL)
self.videoplayer = AVQueuePlayer(items: [playerItem])
self.playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: self.videoplayer)
self.playerLooper = AVPlayerLooper(player: self.videoplayer as! AVQueuePlayer, templateItem: playerItem)
self.blurBgImage.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer!)
self.playerLayer?.frame = self.view.frame
self.videoplayer.volume = 10
self.videoplayer.play()
} else {
videoplayer = AVPlayer(url: url)
videoplayer.play()
loopVideo(videoplayer)
}
}
}
What should i do for seamless looping? Thanks in Advance.
FYI there is sample code here: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/avloopplayer/Introduction/Intro.html
#matt's deleted answer works fine for me (on device / simulator) for iOS 10+ devices:
Use AVPlayerLooper. That is exactly what it is for.
https://developer.apple.com/reference/avfoundation/avplayerlooper
Basically it implements AVQueuePlayer for you, constantly updating the
queue so that it never ends.
It seamlessly loops without any white/black blip.
E.g.
private var looper: AVPlayerLooper?
...
let queuePlayer = AVQueuePlayer(playerItem: item)
looper = AVPlayerLooper(player: queuePlayer, templateItem: item)
videoPlayerLayer.player = queuePlayer
If you end up doing this in a reusable cell (e.g. UICollectionView), then make sure you disable looping before cell re-use or you'll get some obscure crashes:
looper?.disableLooping()
I've been working on a small project that involves downloading a video file from a web server, copying said file to the documents directory and then playing it via AVPlayer.
Downloading the file to the documents directory hasn't been an issue. I'm able to download the file and save it without issue. However, when it comes to loading the file into AVPlayer, and in doing that I'm playing it in an instance of AVPlayerViewController, the vide controller pops up as it should, but video doesn't load.
I realize that when testing in the simulator the documents directory changes each time you rebuild the project. Which is why I check to see if the file is present before I play, and though I know the file is present, it still refuses to play.
Here is what my player code looks like:
let fileName = downloadURL.characters.split("/").map(String.init).last as String!
let fileNameHD = downloadURLHD.characters.split("/").map(String.init).last as String!
let downloadFilePath = getDocumentsDirectory() + "/" + "\(fileNameHD)"
let checkValidation = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
if checkValidation.fileExistsAtPath(downloadFilePath){
print("video found")
}
let videoFile = NSURL(string:downloadFilePath)
let player = AVPlayer(URL: videoFile!)
let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerController.player = player
playerController.view.frame = self.view.frame
player.play()
self.presentViewController(playerController, animated: true) {
playerController.player!.play()
}
Every time when we rebuild the application Our Document Directory Path change.
So you can't play the video from the old document directory path. So instead of that you have to save the last path component of your URL. Like your document directory url look like this after downloaded the video on this path:-
let videoURL = "/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/1F6CDF42-3796-4153-B1E8-50D09D7F5894/Documents/2019_02_20_16_52_47-video.mp4"
var videoPath = ""
if let url = videoURL {
videoPath = url.lastPathComponent
}
print(videoPath)
// It will print the last path of your video url: - "2019_02_20_16_52_47-video.mp4"
Now save this path either in the Core Database or Sqlite or User Defaults where ever you want. Then if you want to play the video again. So you have to get this path from where you save it.
Note:- In Below function you have to pass the last path component of your video. How to call this function.
func playVideo() {
self.startVideoFrom(videoPath:"2019_02_20_16_52_47-video.mp4")
}
// Play Video from path
func startVideoFrom(videoPath: String) {
let outputMineURL = self.createNewPath(lastPath: videoPath)
let player = AVPlayer(url: outputMineURL)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
playerViewController.player!.play()
}
}
/// Generate the new document directory path everytime when you rebuild the app and you have to append the last component of your URL.
func createNewPath(lastPath: String) -> URL {
let documentsDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true).first!
let destination = URL(fileURLWithPath: String(format: "%#/%#", documentsDirectory,lastPath))
return destination
}
For more reference, you can see this question:- https://stackoverflow.com/q/47864143/5665836
Try AVPlayer instead of AVPlayerViewController like,
let videoURL = NSURL(string: "your url string")
let player = AVPlayer(URL: videoURL!)
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
playerLayer.frame = self.view.bounds
self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
player.play()
And import AVKit, import AVFoundation.
OR With viewController like this,
let player = AVPlayer(URL: url)
let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerController.player = player
self.addChildViewController(playerController)
self.view.addSubview(playerController.view)
playerController.view.frame = self.view.frame
player.play()
func listVideos() -> [URL] {
let fileManager = FileManager.default
let documentDirectory = fileManager.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
let files = try? fileManager.contentsOfDirectory(
at: documentDirectory,
includingPropertiesForKeys: nil,
options: [.skipsSubdirectoryDescendants, .skipsHiddenFiles]
).filter {
[".mp4", ".mkv"].contains($0.pathExtension.lowercased())
}
return files ?? []
}
And Then Play Video Like this I am only playing first URL
let videosURLs = self.listVideos()
let player = AVPlayer(url: videosURLs[0])
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
present(playerViewController, animated: true) { () -> Void in
player.play()
}
