i am looking for pod on swift to play Youtube video on ios native player just like XCDYouTubeKit unfortunately XCDYouTubeKit is only for objective-C i can't find any swift pod work like this , all i found they embed iframe video and the youtube logo will appear which will allow user to click on it and miss up the page when the full page open .
how i can play youtube video on ios native video player ? without html embed !
Exactly like :
Although XCDYouTubeKit is written in Objective-C, it integrates fine with Swift. Here is some sample code to use it with Swift 3:
struct YouTubeVideoQuality {
static let hd720 = NSNumber(value: XCDYouTubeVideoQuality.HD720.rawValue)
static let medium360 = NSNumber(value: XCDYouTubeVideoQuality.medium360.rawValue)
static let small240 = NSNumber(value: XCDYouTubeVideoQuality.small240.rawValue)
}
func playVideo(videoIdentifier: String?) {
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
XCDYouTubeClient.default().getVideoWithIdentifier(videoIdentifier) { [weak playerViewController] (video: XCDYouTubeVideo?, error: Error?) in
if let streamURLs = video?.streamURLs, let streamURL = (streamURLs[XCDYouTubeVideoQualityHTTPLiveStreaming] ?? streamURLs[YouTubeVideoQuality.hd720] ?? streamURLs[YouTubeVideoQuality.medium360] ?? streamURLs[YouTubeVideoQuality.small240]) {
playerViewController?.player = AVPlayer(url: streamURL)
} else {
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}

Problem:
I would like SFSafariViewController to autoplay a YouTube video in full screen.
Code:
import SafariServices
#objc func handleYTTap(_ sender: UIGestureRecognizer) {
let youtubeVideoURL = "https://youtu.be/d9MyW72ELq0"
let bookmark = NSURL(string: youtubeVideoURL)
let safari = SFSafariViewController(url: bookmark as! URL)
if(UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom == .pad) {
safari.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
}else{
safari.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
}
self.present(safari, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Tried Solutions:
I have tried to implement
"?playsinline=1?autoplay=1".
to the url but still cant get the SFSafariViewController to autoplay in full screen. is this even possible to do without creating a custom view or using a library of some sort?
I am attempting to play a video file from a youtube url. I have created the AVPlayer and linked the url to the player. The player opens when I click the button, but the video player just shows the file continuously loading. I have changed the App Transport Security Settings -> Allow Arbitrary Loads on the plist.
Heres the code:
#IBAction func playVideo(_ sender: Any) {
let movieId = "xLCn88bfW1o"
let path = URL(string: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\(movieId)")
let video = AVPlayer(url: path!)
let videoPlayer = AVPlayerViewController()
videoPlayer.player = video
present(videoPlayer, animated: true, completion: {
video.play()
})
}
EDIT: I've also tried by using the URL for sharing the video; https://youtu.be/xLCn88bfW1o.
The url you are using is not the url to the video, it is the url to a webpage which has the video embedded. There are tools out there that can help you get the actual url of the video file.
For example: YoutubeDirectLinkExtractor
YoutubeDirectLinkExtractor allows you to obtain the direct link to a YouTube video, which you can easily use with AVPlayer. It uses type safety and optionals to guarantee that you won't crash while extracting the link no matter what. There are popular alternatives, which use more straightforward and risky approach, though:
Use extracted video link with AVPlayer:
let y = YoutubeDirectLinkExtractor()
y.extractInfo(for: .urlString("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsQvAnCGxzY"), success: { info in
let player = AVPlayer(url: URL(string: info.highestQualityPlayableLink!)!)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
playerViewController.player!.play()
}
}) { error in
print(error)
}
You need to pass the video file's direct URL to AVPlayer (not a Youtube website URL)
For example:
let path = URL(string: "https://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mp4")
I would like to play youtube video in my app. But I want to open a video to full screen by image(button) clicking. I don't want to create UIWebview. Is it possible?
Use this pod: XCDYouTubeKit.
func StartVideo() {
let ViodeoViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
self.present(ViodeoViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
XCDYouTubeClient.default().getVideoWithIdentifier("KHIJmehK5OA") { (video: XCDYouTubeVideo?, error: Error?) in
if let streamURL = video?.streamURLs[XCDYouTubeVideoQuality.HD720.rawValue] {
ViodeoViewController.player = AVPlayer(url: streamURL)
} else {
self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
you can also change other configurations setting with the help of library.
Please follow below links:
This is helper provided by youtube, you can install this pod and can use second link to understand how to integrate in your app

im trying to stream videos from google drive but its not working
this is my code
func playVideo () {
let url = NSURL(string: "https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9XuPgWwSkzrdHN5WWUydjJScDg/preview")!
let player = AVPlayer(URL: url)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.presentViewController(playerViewController, animated: true) {
playerViewController.player?.play()
}
}
i get this when i start the function image here
i solved the problem by Decodeing the html from the link and take the steam link from it
you can see the code here : https://github.com/DevZaid/GDSLink
your link is to flash video, not to some video supported by AVPlayer.
I want to play YouTube videos from my tvOS application. I found to play URL videos by AVPlayer, but not getting to play YouTube videos since UIWebView is not supported on tvOS. I don't want to use any third party libraries.
You need to use YoutubeSourceParserKit to parse data that you receive from url. Then you will have the url and you will be able to play video with the following code (Swift 2 solution for tvOS 9):
Youtube.h264videosWithYoutubeURL(NSURL.init(string: "https://www.youtube.com/any-video-url")!)
{ (videoInfo, error) -> Void in
if let videoURLString = videoInfo?["url"] as? String,
videoTitle = videoInfo?["title"] as? String {
let videoURL = NSURL(string: videoURLString)
let player = AVPlayer(URL: videoURL!)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.presentViewController(playerViewController, animated: true) {
playerViewController.player!.play()
}
}
}
