# AutoVideoPlayer
Play/pause videos automatically in UITableview when an UITableViewCell is in focus, videos can be easily embedded in any UITableViewCell subclass.
Can be easily extended to support UICollectionView
* Easily implement video player in any UITableView subclass
* Automatic video play when video view is visible and option to easily pause/play any video
* Mute/Unmute videos
* Videos are cached in memory and will be removed when there is memory pressure
* The scroll of UITableView is super smooth since video assets are downloaded on background thread and played only when assets are completely downloaded ensuring the main thead is never blocked
* Option to provide different bit rate for videos
* Works when the app comes again from background
It can also be used to play videos in any subclass of UIView.
## Demo
## Download
Drag and drop the VideoPlayLibrary folder in your project
## Usage
#### Adopt ASAutoPlayVideoLayerContainer protocol in your UITableviewCell subclass like below.
```
var videoLayer: AVPlayerLayer = AVPlayerLayer()
var videoURL: String? {
didSet {
if let videoURL = videoURL {
ASVideoPlayerController.sharedVideoPlayer.setupVideoFor(url: videoURL)
}
videoLayer.isHidden = videoURL == nil
}
}
```
Implement following method to return the visible height of the UITableViewCell
```
func visibleVideoHeight() -> CGFloat {
//return visible height of the Video Player layer
}
```
#### ViewController Code
Put following code in viewDidLoad
```
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(self.appEnteredFromBackground),
name: NSNotification.Name.UIApplicationWillEnterForeground, object: nil)
```
Add following code to play/pause when view appears/disappears
```
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
pausePlayeVideos()
}
```
Add following methods
```
@objc func appEnteredFromBackground() {
ASVideoPlayerController.sharedVideoPlayer.pausePlayeVideosFor(tableView: tableView, appEnteredFromBackground: true)
}
func pausePlayeVideos(){
ASVideoPlayerController.sharedVideoPlayer.pausePlayeVideosFor(tableView: tableView)
}
```
Add following code in UITableView delegate and datasource methods
```
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
//if cell adopts ASAutoPlayVideoLayerContainer protocol then
//set videoURL if you want to show video or else nil
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didEndDisplaying cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if let videoCell = cell as? ASAutoPlayVideoLayerContainer, videoCell.videoURL != nil {
ASVideoPlayerController.sharedVideoPlayer.removeLayerFor(cell: videoCell)
}
}
```
Add following code to pause/play videos when scroll stops
```
func scrollViewDidEndDragging(_ scrollView: UIScrollView, willDecelerate decelerate: Bool) {
if !decelerate {
pausePlayeVideos()
}
}
func scrollViewDidEndDecelerating(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
pausePlayeVideos()
}
```
