Implementing video view in the Storyboard

Question

I want to build simple video app thats views a video form youtube links thats users add. I didn\'t find \"VideoView\" I mean If image view is for image what is UIView for video

Answer 1

In Xcode 10 (with a bit less code):

1. In the interface builder (Storyboard), add "AVKit Player View Controller"

2. Create a View Controller that derives from AVPlayerViewController:

   import UIKit
   import AVKit
   
   class VideoPlayerViewController: AVPlayerViewController {
   
     override func viewDidLoad() {
       super.viewDidLoad()
   
       let videoURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "video", withExtension: "mp4")!
       self.player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
     }
   
     override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
       self.player?.play()
     }
   }
   

3. Don't forget to connect this custom class in the storyboard's identity inspector :)

Note: this example uses video URL pointing to a bundle's resource.
