Installation

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate GPVideoPlayer into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

target 'sampleproj' do

  use_frameworks!
  pod 'GPVideoPlayer'
  
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Usage

1. First import GPVideoPlayer in the file where you are going to use it, for example in a UIViewController.

import GPVideoPlayer

2. Create a GPVideoPlayer object using the view's bounds where you want to show the player and add it as a subView.

if let player = GPVideoPlayer.initialize(with: self.view.bounds) {
    self.view.addSubview(player)
    //Player customization...
}

In the above example, I'm adding player to the viewController's subView.

3. Load the player with the URLs of the videos.

let url1 = URL(string: "https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4")!
let videoFilePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "video", ofType: "mp4")
let url2 = URL(fileURLWithPath: videoFilePath!)
            
player.loadVideos(with: [url1, url2])

4. Additional customization parameters.

player.isToShowPlaybackControls = true
player.isMuted = true

5. Play the videos in player.

player.playVideo()
