CocoaPods

pod "CTVideoPlayerView"

Quick Try

1. import header

import <CTVideoPlayerView/CTVideoViewCommonHeader.h>

2. Play

2.1 play with asset

CTVideoView *videoView = [[CTVideoView alloc] init];
videoView.assetToPlay = [AVURLAsset assetWithURL:assetUrl];
[videoView play];

CTVideoView can play any AVAsset directly, but the videoUrlType and actualVideoUrlType will be set to CTVideoViewVideoUrlTypeAsset.

If you do care about the url type of what you are playing, you should see play with URL below.

2.2 play with URL

Set videoUrl to make CTVideoView play with URL, the videoUrlType and actualVideoUrlType will be valued properly, if you don't care about them, just use play with asset above.

in short:

CTVideoView *videoView = [[CTVideoView alloc] init];
videoView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,100,100);
[self.view addSubview:videoView];

videoView.videoUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://7xs8ft.com2.z0.glb.qiniucdn.com/rcd_vid_865e1fff817746d29ecc4996f93b7f74"]; // mp4 playable
[videoView play];

long story:

@interface SingleVideoViewController ()

@property (nonatomic, strong) CTVideoView *videoView;

@end

@implementation SingleVideoViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [self.view addSubview:self.videoView];

	// self.videoView.videoUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://7xs8ft.com2.z0.glb.qiniucdn.com/rcd_vid_865e1fff817746d29ecc4996f93b7f74"]; // mp4 playable
	// self.videoView.videoUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://devimages.apple.com.edgekey.net/streaming/examples/bipbop_16x9/bipbop_16x9_variant.m3u8"]; // m3u8 playable
	self.videoView.videoUrl = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"a" withExtension:@"mp4"]; // native url playable
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
 	self.videoView.frame = self.view.bounds;
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
	[self.videoView play];
}

- (CTVideoView *)videoView
{
    if (_videoView == nil) {
        _videoView = [[CTVideoView alloc] init];
	}
    return _videoView;
}

@end

More Example

Download Video

set download strategy to CTVideoViewDownloadStrategyDownloadOnlyForeground or CTVideoViewDownloadStrategyDownloadForegroundAndBackground to enable Download

[CTVideoManager sharedInstance].downloadStrategy = CTVideoViewDownloadStrategyDownloadForegroundAndBackground;

// they works the same
[videoView startDownloadTask];
// [[CTVideoManager sharedInstance] startDownloadTaskWithUrl:url];
// [[CTVideoManager sharedInstance] startAllDownloadTask];

if download strategy is CTVideoViewDownloadStrategyNoDownload, the download task won't generate even you make a download call.

[CTVideoManager sharedInstance].downloadStrategy = CTVideoViewDownloadStrategyNoDownload;

[videoView startDownloadTask]; // won't start download task
[[CTVideoManager sharedInstance] startDownloadTaskWithUrl:url]; // won't start download task
[[CTVideoManager sharedInstance] startAllDownloadTask]; // won't start download task

after the video is downloaded, CTVideoPlayerView will remember where the native file is, and which remote url is responds to. You can call refreshUrl to refresh current video view's url, and then play the native video file. If you create a brand new video player view, and set videoUrl to a remote url, video player view will search the native file and replace it automatically.

Download Events

you can set downloadDelegate to video player view for more control.

@protocol CTVideoViewDownloadDelegate <NSObject>

@optional
- (void)videoViewWillStartDownload:(CTVideoView *)videoView;
- (void)videoView:(CTVideoView *)videoView downloadProgress:(CGFloat)progress;
- (void)videoViewDidFinishDownload:(CTVideoView *)videoView;
- (void)videoViewDidFailDownload:(CTVideoView *)videoView;
- (void)videoViewDidPausedDownload:(CTVideoView *)videoView;
- (void)videoViewDidDeletedDownloadTask:(CTVideoView *)videoView;
- (void)videoViewIsWaitingForDownload:(CTVideoView *)videoView;

@end

If you don't have a video player view instance, you can observe notifications in CTVideoViewDefinitions.h to get notice of the download events.

/**
 *  notifications
 */
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerWillDownloadVideoNotification;
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerDidFinishDownloadVideoNotification;
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerDownloadVideoProgressNotification;
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerDidFailedDownloadVideoNotification;
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerDidPausedDownloadVideoNotification;
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerDidDeletedDownloadVideoNotification;

/**
 *  notification userinfo keys
 */
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerNotificationUserInfoKeyRemoteUrlList;
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerNotificationUserInfoKeyRemoteUrl;
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerNotificationUserInfoKeyNativeUrl;
extern NSString * const kCTVideoManagerNotificationUserInfoKeyProgress;

Manage Native Video Files

just use CTVideoDataCenter.

@interface CTVideoDataCenter : NSObject

// create
- (void)insertRecordWithRemoteUrl:(NSURL *)remoteUrl status:(CTVideoRecordStatus)status;

// read
- (NSURL *)nativeUrlWithRemoteUrl:(NSURL *)remoteUrl;
- (NSArray <id<CTPersistanceRecordProtocol>> *)recordListWithStatus:(CTVideoRecordStatus)status;
- (CTVideoRecordStatus)statusOfRemoteUrl:(NSURL *)remoteUrl;
- (id<CTPersistanceRecordProtocol>)recordOfRemoteUrl:(NSURL *)url;

// update
- (void)updateWithRemoteUrl:(NSURL *)remoteUrl nativeUrl:(NSURL *)nativeUrl;
- (void)updateWithRemoteUrl:(NSURL *)remoteUrl nativeUrl:(NSURL *)nativeUrl status:(CTVideoRecordStatus)status;

- (void)updateStatus:(CTVideoRecordStatus)status toRemoteUrl:(NSURL *)remoteUrl;
- (void)updateStatus:(CTVideoRecordStatus)status progress:(CGFloat)progress toRemoteUrl:(NSURL *)remoteUrl;
- (void)updateAllStatus:(CTVideoRecordStatus)status;

- (void)pauseAllRecordWithCompletion:(void(^)(void))completion;
- (void)pauseRecordWithRemoteUrlList:(NSArray *)remoteUrlList completion:(void(^)(void))completion;

- (void)startDownloadAllRecordWithCompletion:(void(^)(void))completion;
- (void)startDownloadRemoteUrlList:(NSArray *)remoteUrlList completion:(void(^)(void))completion;

// delete
- (void)deleteWithRemoteUrl:(NSURL *)remoteUrl;
- (void)deleteAllRecordWithCompletion:(void(^)(NSArray *deletedList))completion;
- (void)deleteAllNotFinishedVideo;

@end

You may want more method in this data center, you can fire an issue to tell me what method you want, or give me a pull request directly.

Observe Time

1. set shouldObservePlayTime to YES, and set timeGapToObserve.

if timeGapToObserve is 1, means 1/100 second.

[videoView setShouldObservePlayTime:YES withTimeGapToObserve:10.0f]; // calls the delegate method `- (void)videoView:didPlayToSecond:` every 0.1s during playing.

2. set timeDelegate

videoView.timeDelegate = self;

3. implement - (void)videoView:didPlayToSecond: in timeDelegate

- (void)videoView:(CTVideoView *)videoView didPlayToSecond:(CGFloat)second
{
	NSLog(@"%f", second);
}

Customize Operation Button

1. set custmized button

videoView.playButton = customizedPlayButton;
videoView.retryButton = customizedRetryButton;

2. set id<CTVideoViewButtonDelegate> and implement methods to layout your button

If you don't do this, the buttons will be layouted as size of CGSizeMake(100, 60), and will be put in center of the video.

use pod "HandyFrame" will make your layout code easy and clean.

#import <HandyFrame/UIView+LayoutMethods.h>

set the button delegate

videoView.buttonDelegate = self;

layout with HandyFrame

- (void)videoView:(CTVideoView *)videoView layoutPlayButton:(UIButton *)playButton
{
    playButton.size = CGSizeMake(100, 60);
	[playButton rightInContainer:5 shouldResize:NO];
   	[playButton bottomInContainer:5 shouldResize:NO];
}

- (void)videoView:(CTVideoView *)videoView layoutRetryButton:(UIButton *)retryButton
{
    retryButton.size = CGSizeMake(100, 60);
	[retryButton rightInContainer:5 shouldResize:NO];
   	[retryButton bottomInContainer:5 shouldResize:NO];
}

play with full screen and exit full screen

    if (self.videoView.isFullScreen) {
        [self.videoView exitFullScreen];
    } else {
        [self.videoView enterFullScreen];
    }

see the demo ChangeToFullScreenViewController

slide to move forward or backward

This function is enabled by default, if you do not want it, just set isSlideFastForwardDisabled to YES

videoView.isSlideFastForwardDisabled = YES;

To show the move indicator, you should set playControlDelegate, and use method below

@protocol CTVideoViewPlayControlDelegate <NSObject>

@optional

- (void)videoViewShowPlayControlIndicator:(CTVideoView *)videoView;
- (void)videoViewHidePlayControlIndicator:(CTVideoView *)videoView;
- (void)videoView:(CTVideoView *)videoView playControlDidMoveToSecond:(CGFloat)second direction:(CTVideoViewPlayControlDirection)direction;

@end

the delegate method - (void)videoViewShowPlayControlIndicator:(CTVideoView *)videoView; tells you that you can show your own customized indicator view.

the delegate method - (void)videoViewHidePlayControlIndicator:(CTVideoView *)videoView; tells you that you can hide your own customized indicator view.

the delegate method - (void)videoView:(CTVideoView *)videoView playControlDidMoveToSecond:(CGFloat)second direction:(CTVideoViewPlayControlDirection)direction; tells you the data that you can use to update the content of your own customized indicator view.
