No AVPlayer Delegate? How to track when song finished playing? Objective C iPhone development

Question

I\'ve looked around but I can\'t find a delegate protocol for the AVPlayer class. What gives?

I\'m using its subclass, AVQueuePlayer, to pl

Answer 1

Yes. Add a KVO observer to the player's status or rate:

- (IBAction)go {
   self.player = .....
   self.player.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionStop;
   [self.player addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"rate" options:0 context:0]; 
}

- (void)stopped {
    ...
    [self.player removeObserver:self]; //assumes we are the only observer
}

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context {
    if (context == 0) {
        if(player.rate==0.0) //stopped
            [self stopped];
    }
    else
        [super observeVal...];
}

So basically, that's it.

Disclaimer: I wrote that in here so I didn't check if the code was good. ALSO I never used AVPlayer before but it should be about right.
