How to get Duration from AVPlayer (Not AVAudioPlayer)?

Question

I would like to make a UISlider(scrubber) for my AVPlayer. But since this is not an AVAudioPlayer, it doesn\'t have a built in duration. Any suggestion on how to create the

Answer 1

Swift 5

Put this code inside some function that you desired :

let duration = player.currentItem?.duration.seconds ?? 0
let playDuration = formatTime(seconds: duration) //Duration RESULT

Create a function called: formatTime(seconds: Double)

func formatTime(seconds: Double) -> String {
    let result = timeDivider(seconds: seconds)
    let hoursString = "\(result.hours)"
    var minutesString = "\(result.minutes)"
    var secondsString = "\(result.seconds)"

    if minutesString.count == 1 {
        minutesString = "0\(result.minutes)"
    }
    if secondsString.count == 1 {
        secondsString = "0\(result.seconds)"
    }

    var time = "\(hoursString):"
    if result.hours >= 1 {
        time.append("\(minutesString):\(secondsString)")
    }
    else {
        time = "\(minutesString):\(secondsString)"
    }
    return time
}

Then, another function to translate seconds to hour, minute and second. Since the seconds that by layerLayer.player?.currentItem?.duration.seconds will have long Double, so this is needed to become Human Readable.

func timeDivider(seconds: Double) -> (hours: Int, minutes: Int, seconds: Int) {
    guard !(seconds.isNaN || seconds.isInfinite) else {
        return (0,0,0)
    }
    let secs: Int = Int(seconds)
    let hours = secs / 3600
    let minutes = (secs % 3600) / 60
    let seconds = (secs % 3600) % 60
    return (hours, minutes, seconds)
}

Hope it's complete your answer.
