AVPlayerItem is the best choice in this case as you have more control.
See the below code snippet. I have given you just basic example. You do some re-search on AVPlayerItem.
Define your AVPlayer object:
AVPlayer *videoPlayer;
Prepare AVPlayer and add Observers:
AVPlayerItem *playerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:imageText]];
videoPlayer = [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:playerItem];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(playerItemDidReachEnd:) name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification object:[videoPlayer currentItem]];
[videoPlayer addObserver:self forKeyPath:#"status" options:0 context:nil];
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.1 target:self selector:#selector(updateProgress:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
Handling callbacks:
- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context
{
if (object == videoPlayer && [keyPath isEqualToString:#"status"])
{
if (videoPlayer.status == AVPlayerStatusFailed)
{
NSLog(#"AVPlayer Failed");
}
else if (videoPlayer.status == AVPlayerStatusReadyToPlay)
{
NSLog(#"AVPlayerStatusReadyToPlay");
[videoPlayer play];
}
else if (videoPlayer.status == AVPlayerItemStatusUnknown)
{
NSLog(#"AVPlayer Unknown");
}
}
if (object == videoPlayer && [keyPath isEqualToString:#"playbackLikelyToKeepUp"])
{
if (videoPlayer.playbackLikelyToKeepUp)
{
// Hide Activity indicator
[videoPlayer play];
}
}
if (object == videoPlayer && [keyPath isEqualToString:#"playbackBufferEmpty"])
{
if (videoPlayer.playbackBufferEmpty)
{
// Show Activity indicator
[videoPlayer pause];
}
}
}
- (void)playerItemDidReachEnd:(NSNotification *)notification {
// code here whatever you want to do on finishing video stream..
}
