// The duration is available.
- (void)videoPlayer:(LLVideoPlayer *)videoPlayer durationDidLoad:(NSNumber *)duration;

// The buffer is empty or not.
- (void)videoPlayer:(LLVideoPlayer *)videoPlayer playbackBufferEmpty:(BOOL)bufferEmpty;

// The video is likely to keepup or not.

Customize UI Controls

LLVideoPlayer comes without any UI controls for flexibility. Your can add your custom contols to the container view LLVideoPlayerView.

Cache Support

LLVideoPlayer supports customize cache policy. To enable the cache support (default is disable):

player.cacheSupportEnabled = YES;	// That's all, so simple...

To set your customize cache policy:

LLVideoPlayerCachePolicy *policy = [LLVideoPlayerCachePolicy new];
policy.diskCapacity = 500ULL << 20;	// max disk capacity in bytes, for example 500MiB
policy.outdatedHours = 7 *24;		// outdated hours, for example 7 days

player.cachePolicy = policy;

See LLVideoPlayerCachePolicy for more details.

To clear cache manually:

[LLVideoPlayer clearAllCache];

Preload Support

// start a preload request
[LLVideoPlayer preloadWithURL:url];

// start a preload request with specified bytes
[LLVideoPlayer preloadWithURL:url bytes:(1 << 20)];

// cancel a preload request
[LLVideoPlayer cancelPreloadWithURL:url];

// cancel all preload requests
[LLVideoPlayer cancelAllPreloads];
