How to play a local video with Swift?

I have a short mp4 video file that I've added to my current Xcode6 Beta project.

I want to play the video in my app.

After hours searching, I can't find anything remotely helpful. Is there a way to accomplish this with Swift or do you have to use Objective-C? Can I get pointed in the right direction? I can't be the only one wondering this.

Sure you can use Swift!

1. Adding the video file

Add the video (lets call it video.m4v) to your Xcode project

2. Checking your video is into the Bundle

Open the Project Navigator cmd + 1

Then select your project root > your Target > Build Phases > Copy Bundle Resources.

Your video MUST be here. If it's not, then you should add it using the plus button

3. Code

Open your View Controller and write this code.

import UIKit
import AVKit
import AVFoundation

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewDidAppear(animated)
        playVideo()
    }

    private func playVideo() {
        guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "video", ofType:"m4v") else {
            debugPrint("video.m4v not found")
            return
        }
        let player = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path))
        let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
        playerController.player = player
        present(playerController, animated: true) {
            player.play()
        }
    }
}

another Swift 3 Example. The provided solution did not work for me.

private func playVideo(from file:String) {
    let file = file.components(separatedBy: ".")
    
    guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: file[0], ofType:file[1]) else {
        debugPrint( "\(file.joined(separator: ".")) not found")
        return
    }
    let player = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path))

    let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
    playerLayer.frame = self.view.bounds
    self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
    player.play()
}

useage:

playVideo(from: "video.extension")

Note: Check Copy Bundle Resources under Build Phases to ensure that the video is available to the Project.

U can setup AVPlayer in another way, that open for u full customization of your video Player screen

Swift 2.3

1. Create UIView subclass for playing video (basically u can use any UIView object and only needed is AVPlayerLayer. I setup in this way because it much clearer for me)

    import AVFoundation
    import UIKit
   
    class PlayerView: UIView {
    
    override class func layerClass() -> AnyClass {
        return AVPlayerLayer.self
    }
    
    var player:AVPlayer? {
        set {
            if let layer = layer as? AVPlayerLayer {
                layer.player = player
            }
        }
        get {
            if let layer = layer as? AVPlayerLayer {
                return layer.player
            } else {
                return nil
            }
        }
    }
    }
   

2. Setup your player

    import AVFoundation
    import Foundation
   
    protocol VideoPlayerDelegate {
        func downloadedProgress(progress:Double)
        func readyToPlay()
        func didUpdateProgress(progress:Double)

        func didFailPlayToEnd()
    }
   
    let videoContext:UnsafeMutablePointer<Void> = nil
   
    class VideoPlayer : NSObject {

        var playerRate:Float = 1 {
            didSet {
                if let player = assetPlayer {
                    player.rate = playerRate > 0 ? playerRate : 0.0
                }
            }
        }
        
        var volume:Float = 1.0 {

                    player.volume = volume > 0 ? volume : 0.0
                }
            }
        }

3. Usage:

assume u have view

@IBOutlet private weak var playerView: PlayerView!
private var videoPlayer:VideoPlayer?

and in viewDidLoad()

    private func preparePlayer() {
        if let filePath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("intro", ofType: "m4v") {
            let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)
            videoPlayer = VideoPlayer(urlAsset: fileURL, view: playerView)
            if let player = videoPlayer {
                player.playerRate = 0.67
            }
        }
    }

    private func moviewPlayerLoadedTimeRangeDidUpdated(ranges:Array<NSValue>) {
        var maximum:TimeInterval = 0
        for value in ranges {
            let range:CMTimeRange = value.timeRangeValue
            let currentLoadedTimeRange = CMTimeGetSeconds(range.start) + CMTimeGetSeconds(range.duration)
            if currentLoadedTimeRange > maximum {

            }
        }
        let progress:Double = assetDuration == 0 ? 0.0 : Double(maximum) / assetDuration

        delegate?.downloadedProgress(progress: progress)
    }

    deinit {
        cleanUp()
    }

    private func initialSetupWithURL(url:NSURL) {
        let options = [AVURLAssetPreferPreciseDurationAndTimingKey : true]
        urlAsset = AVURLAsset(url: url as URL, options: options)
    }

    // MARK: - Observations
    override func observeValue(forKeyPath keyPath: String?, of object: Any?, change: [NSKeyValueChangeKey : Any]?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {

        if context == videoContext {
            if let key = keyPath {
                if key == "status", let player = assetPlayer {
                    playerDidChangeStatus(status: player.status)
                } else if key == "loadedTimeRanges", let item = playerItem {

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Usage:

private var playerView: PlayerView = PlayerView()
private var videoPlayer:VideoPlayer?

and inside viewDidLoad():

view.addSubview(playerView)
preparePlayer()

// set Constraints (if you do it purely in code)
playerView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
playerView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor, constant: 10.0).isActive = true
playerView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor, constant: 10.0).isActive = true
playerView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor, constant: -10.0).isActive = true
playerView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor, constant: 10.0).isActive = true

private func preparePlayer() {
    if let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "my video", ofType: "mp4") {
        let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)
        videoPlayer = VideoPlayer(urlAsset: fileURL, view: playerView)
        if let player = videoPlayer {
            player.playerRate = 0.67
        }
    }
}

these code is converted code from gbk answer in swift 4

1.in your main controllview :

 if let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "clip", ofType: "mp4") {
            let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)
            videoPlayer = VideoPlayer(urlAsset: fileURL, view: playerView)
            if let player = videoPlayer {
                player.playerRate = 1.00
            }
        }

2. you need VideoPlayer class

                    }
                }
            }
        }
        
        
    }

3. and a PlayerView class to create a videoview:

      import AVFoundation

      import UIKit

      class PlayerView: UIView {
    
    
    override class var layerClass: AnyClass {
        get {
          return AVPlayerLayer.self
        }
    }

    
    var player:AVPlayer? {
        set {
            if let layer = layer as? AVPlayerLayer {
                layer.player = player
            }
        }
        get {
            if let layer = layer as? AVPlayerLayer {
                return layer.player
            } else {
                return nil
            }
        }
    }
    }

None of the above worked for me Swift 5 for Local Video Player

after reading apple documentation I was able to create simple example for playing video from Local resources

Here is code snip

import UIKit
import AVKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        //TODO : Make Sure Add and copy "SampleVideo.mp4" file in project before play
    }
    
    @IBAction func playLocalVideo(_ sender: Any) {

        guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "SampleVideo", ofType: "mp4") else {
            return
        }
        let videoURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path)
        
        // Create an AVPlayer, passing it the local video url path
        let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL as URL)
        let controller = AVPlayerViewController()
        controller.player = player
        present(controller, animated: true) {
            player.play()
        }
    }
    
}

> PS: Make sure you don't forget to add and copy video named > "SampleVideo.mp4" in project

PlayerView for swift 4.2

import AVFoundation
import UIKit

class PlayerView: UIView {
    
    var player: AVPlayer? {
        get {
            return playerLayer.player
        }
        set {
            playerLayer.player = newValue
        }
    }
    
    var playerLayer: AVPlayerLayer {
        return layer as! AVPlayerLayer
    }
    
    // Override UIView property
    override static var layerClass: AnyClass {
        return AVPlayerLayer.self
    }
}
