Question

 [videoView setHidden:NO];
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(N         


        

Answer 1

We have swift protocol extensions - rejoice.

extension AVPlayer {
   func stop(){
    self.seek(to: CMTime.zero)
    self.pause()
   }
}

Answer 2

AVPlayer does not have a method named stop. You can pause or set rate to 0.0.

Answer 3

I usually seekToTime 0.0, then pause. It work perfectly with me. :)

[self.videoPlayer seekToTime:CMTimeMake(0, 1)];
[self.videoPlayer pause];

Answer 4

You can pause and set AVPlayer object value to nil .

And in your code you can use this :

[self.videoPlayer pause];
[self.avPlayerLayer removeFromSuperlayer];
self.videoPlayer = nil;

Answer 5

If you dont want to set the av player to nil, a better approach might be :

videoPlayer.replaceCurrentItemWithPlayerItem(nil)
