Answer 1

You can use three AVPlayers. First is previous, second is current and last is next. When current is playing, play last player as preloading and observe its status. When the preloading player's status becomes AVPlayerStatusReadyToPlay, stop it and call next lines: [player.playerItem cancelPendingSeeks]; [player.playerItem.asset cancelLoading];

These codes will prevent pre-loading all data of the video.
