How to check if AVPlayer has Video or just Audio?

Question

I try to play some \"media\" but at the time the AVPlayer starts I don\'t know if it is audio or Video.

I connected the player Layer and it works fine.

For Swift 4.2 you can do the following:

func isAudioAvailable() -> Bool? {
   return self.player?._asset?.tracks.filter({$0.mediaType == AVMediaType.audio}).count != 0   
}

func isVideoAvailable() -> Bool? {
   return self.player?._asset?.tracks.filter({$0.mediaType == AVMediaType.video}).count != 0   
}

or as extension

extension AVPlayer {
    var isAudioAvailable: Bool? {
        return self._asset?.tracks.filter({$0.mediaType == AVMediaType.audio}).count != 0
    }

    var isVideoAvailable: Bool? {
        return self._asset?.tracks.filter({$0.mediaType == AVMediaType.video}).count != 0
    }
}
