I am using a sample code of apple in a project. After customizing it's working fine, but when we play a video by url - it is not playing video properly. According to my requirement, is there any way to buffer entire video then play it?

I am trying to make a video player with custom audio effects. To perform an effect I've written an audio unit. To play video stream I use AVPlayer with muted sound. The problem is that audio and video are out of sync. And it gets awful when I pause and resume the playback.
Could you please suggest any ideas about how to sync the two things? Maybe use something else instead of AVPlayer?
Thanks in advance.
I shall answer my own question.
There is a thing called MTAudioProcessingTap. It allows for doing audio manipulation stuff just like an audio unit but inside AVPlayer.
There's a link for more details: https://chritto.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/processing-avplayers-audio-with-mtaudioprocessingtap/.=
I have to do a Video streaming app (using a remote url) in swift. But there is no any exact video format. Sometimes it can be m3u8 sometimes mp4 etc.. but my video player should support for what ever the format comes from the back end.
Also when the app is in background, the audio should play and when the app comes foreground video should play without any time delay between the vide and the audio.
I want to know whether is it possible to achieve my objectives using AVPlayerViewController or else what is the best player that I can use to achieve my targets. Please help me.
Thanks
AVPlayerViewController supports m3u8 and mp4 both format. For playing video's audio you need some extra configuration. You can check from here...
How do I get my AVPlayer to play while app is in background?
Is it possible to play video using Avplayer in Background?
So according to me AVPlayerViewController is best option for your requirement.
I am developing application like gaana.com
Which player can be used for play mp3 songs from server url ? I want
to implement Play, Pause, Next, Previous buttons And will also play
song list in background mode one by one.
I have already implemented AVPlayer but i getting issue in playing
next audio in background mode. And i had tried all answers regarding
this issue but none of all is working for me.
So i am finding alternative of AVPlayer.
I need to play youtube video in my iOS application and while video is playing I need to add an overlay on video.
1.Now how can i run youtube video in native player?
2.if I play video in UIWebview then how can i detect that video is
playing and how to add overlay on the video?
MPMoviePlayerViewController cannot directly play youtube video urls.You need to extract the url before loading MPMoviePlayerViewController with the url.
you can see a working demo in my github repo:
Try this::
https://github.com/DpzAtMicRO/IOSYoutubePlayer
LBYoutubeExtractor extracts the youtube Url with JSON.
Please do read the README.md before you use this in your application.

MPMoviePlayerViewController is a good one but last commit is years ago. I found another solution called 'XCDYouTubeKit' which supports iPhone/iPad and iOS7 onwards with full screen YouTube video.
You can access github page at here and fully documented tutorial at here
This is what official developer says in his page:
The only official way of playing a YouTube video inside an app is with a web view and the iframe player API. Unfortunately, this is very slow and quite ugly, so I wrote this player to give users a better viewing experience.
my app plays video and audio. however, i have a problem where once i play an audio file using avaudioplayer, the video refuses to play. when i play the video first, everything is fine. but if the audio is played first, any time i try to play the video it simply pops up the video player but will not play the actual video (you can use the scroller to go to any point in the video, but no playback will happen). this issue does not come up on the iphone, nor on the ipad simulator. clearly there is some resource conflict here, probably related to the audio, and i'd welcome some input on how to address it.
issue solved: i had to call the 'stop' rather than 'pause' method on the avaudioplayer before video playback. this undoes the play preparation and releases the audio resource that had apparently prevented the video from being played.
