var playerItem: AVPlayerItem?
var player: AVPlayer?

func instantiatePlayer(_ url: URL) {
    self.playerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: url)            
    self.player = AVPlayer(playerItem: self.playerItem)
        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(playerItemFailedToPlay(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemFailedToPlayToEndTime, object: nil)
}

func playerItemFailedToPlay(_ notification: Notification) {
    let error = notification.userInfo?[AVPlayerItemFailedToPlayToEndTimeErrorKey] as? Error
