I am building an application where I want to play video from url like Youtube, Vimeo, Direct url. I am making custom player using AVPlayer to play a video from a direct url

Answer 1

I have used WKWebView in storyboard with constraints and added code :

func playVideo() {

if yourLink.lowercased().contains("youtu.be"){
    getVideo(videoCode: yourVideoCode)
    if let range = yourLink.range(of: "be/"){
        let videoId = yourLink[range.upperBound...].trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)
        getVideo(videoCode: videoId)
    }
} else if yourLink.lowercased().contains("youtube.com"){
    if let range = yourLink.range(of: "?v="){
        let videoId = yourLink[range.upperBound...].trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespaces)
        getVideo(videoCode: videoId)
    }
} else if yourLink.lowercased().contains("vimeo.com") {
    let url: NSURL = NSURL(string: yourLink)
    webKitView.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.scaleAspectFit
    webKitView.load(URLRequest(url: url as URL))
}
}

func getVideo(videoCode: String) {
    guard
    let url = URL(string: "https://www.youtube.com/embed/\(videoCode)")
    else { return }
    webKitView.load(URLRequest(url: url))
}
