Can't swipe the UIScrollView when AVPlayer is running - ios

Question

Hi everyone I am trying to swipe between two pages through a scrollview and it works fine but when I try to swipe while a video is playing it won't work here is my code for my ViewControllers
MainVeiwController
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
scrollView.isPagingEnabled=true
let settings = SettingsViewController(nibName: "SettingsViewController", bundle: nil)
self.addChildViewController(settings)
self.scrollView.addSubview(settings.view)
settings.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
let diamond = DiamondViewController(nibName: "DiamondViewController", bundle: nil)
var frame1 = diamond.view.frame
frame1.origin.x = self.view.frame.size.width
diamond.view.frame=frame1
self.addChildViewController(diamond)
self.scrollView.addSubview(diamond.view)
diamond.didMove(toParentViewController: self)
self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: self.view.frame.size.width * 2, height: self.view.frame.size.height-70)
scrollView.contentOffset = CGPoint(x: scrollView.frame.size.width, y: 0)
}
Second ViewController
var playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
var playerView = AVPlayer()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: "PATHTOVIDEO")
playerView=AVPlayer(url: fileURL as URL)
playerViewController.showsPlaybackControls=false;
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: playerView.currentItem, queue: nil)
{ notification in
let t1 = CMTimeMake(1, 100);
self.playerView.seek(to: t1)
self.playerView.play()
}
playerViewController.player = playerView
self.present(playerViewController,animated:true){
self.playerViewController.player?.play()
}
}
Now what I want to know is how can I swipe between the pages even though the video is playing is there a workaround or something

Answer 1

Try to embed your AVPlayerViewController in your SecondViewController instead of presenting it.
Code Example:
let url = // whatever
let player = AVPlayer(URL:url)
let av = AVPlayerViewController()
av.player = player
av.view.frame = // whatever
self.addChildViewController(av)
self.view.addSubview(av.view)
av.didMoveToParentViewController(self)
Code from:
AVPlayer with playback controls of avplayerviewcontroller
