Achieve smooth video scrubbing with AVPlayer

Question

I am trying to achieve smooth video scrubbing with AVPlayer through UISlider I have searched and it seems Apple has a Technical Q&A and explain

Answer 1

try to add selectors to your slider like this at the begining:

playerView.timeSlider.addTarget(self, action: #selector(PlayerViewController.timeSliderBeganTracking(_:)), for:.touchDown) // moved
        playerView.timeSlider.addTarget(self, action: #selector(PlayerViewController.timeSliderEndedTracking(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
        playerView.timeSlider.addTarget(self, action: #selector(PlayerViewController.timeSliderEndedTracking(_:)), for: .touchUpOutside )

then in timeSliderBeganTracking set isSeekInProgress to true and pause your player and invalidate timers and remove observers if you have any

then in timeSliderEndedTracking seek to current time like this :

let currentSeconds = Float64(self.playerView.timeSlider.value) container.player.seek(to: CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(currentSeconds, 100)) then add the observers and timers back and at the end set isSeekInProgress to false

HERE you can find a complete sample of creating a custom videoPlayer
