is it possible to get video playback working on a square with IOS?
Ideally the video would come from a youtube stream.
I have been searching but I cant find anything that seems to work.
My end goal is to make a WebVR web app that can play videos in IOS.
Thanks for any thoughts / advice.

I am working on video player app which streams video from m3u8 url.
Due to apple limitation, I can't set specific video quality during playtime or startup. I am curious because i can see this feature supported in Youtube iOS app.
Apple provides preferredPeakBitRate but it doesn't guarantee whether video will be played in that bitrate.
How do youtube able to achieve that video quality or maintaining specific video quality in iOS?
Just let me know if i am doing anything wrong or missing anything. Thanks in advance
I am developing an app for iOS devices that is supposed to have a waveforms of music files like on SoundCloud. The problem is that I have achieved generation of waveform of fully downloaded file, how to generate a waveform of streaming audio during its playback? If someone's aware of how SoundCloud presents its waveforms please reply.
If we are talking about SoundCloud, for displaying an audio waveform, what I think is that they are -somehow- working with metadata for each specific audio to draw its desired waveform; Why it might be right? that's because the waveform will be drawn for each audio even before playing it (without waiting for streaming it). Applying the previous approach might be suitable solution for your issue.
However, I suggest to checkout this library, it might contains what are you looking for (drawing the waveform while streaming the audio file).
Also checking this Q&A might be helpful to your case.
Hope this helped.
So, I have a custom picker controller in which I can select videos and play them. Beforehand, I was struggling to play slow motion videos (only no-slow-motion videos were playing) but after searching I found the solution here.
How to access NSData/NSURL of slow motion videos using PhotoKit
Now, slow motion videos are playing but in a normal way instead of in a slow-motion way. This questions relates to the problem.

I've seen a lot of comments saying they solved the problem by using Photos framework, but I have no idea how to achieve this and they didn't explain either. It might be something to do PHAssetMediaSubtypeVideoHighFrameRate. So, how would be possible to play slow motion videos? Do I need to change the fps somehow?
I am trying to detect 30 targets and play different video for each target. The problem I am facing is after some 20 images, somehow the videos dont play(I get a cross sign).
Also is there some way to load a video that is required to play and unload others, so that the videos dont hang after some time.
Any help or pointers in right direction highly appretiated.
im working on Smart TV app for Samsung which should use youtube api to play videos. Embedded videos will work only when app resolution and yt player size are 960x540 or below,
if I set higher resolution (1280x720 or 1920x1080) player stucks, behaves really slow, and videos will buffer infinitely.
Has anyone succeeded in embedding yt videos with higher resolution player?
Thx in advance.
Video player work in FullHD resolution in fullscreen regardless of widget resolution.
If you have troubles with buffering, check your connection speed. Try play file from local network to check that selected resolution and codecs hadled well by TV.
recently i found this case. The youtube apps working great on 720p resolution if the video length is below 10min, but longer than that for example 30min the player will stuck just like as you said.
When changing the app resolution to 540p the youtube player working great again for all videos. I suppose the youtube is using progressive download on their player and Smart TV storage itself is not enough to prepare the long video storage space with 720p resolution rendering.
The conclusion is when using flash player/youtube in apps the best at using 540p app resolution.
Thx all for answering,
in the end I used different approach which showed like best solution.
I used 720p resolution, and youtube cue video functionality.
Basically i cued video, and on "videoCued" event i called "playVideo" method.
This allowed player to get ready and initialize before playing video.
