Use a button to play a video in xcode 10 - button

Question

to be honest i dont quite understand what I'm doing here is the code that I tried to use to play the video it builds okay but when i press the button i get a "sigabrt" warning and it doesnt work.
here's the code:
import UIKit
import AVKit
import AVFoundation
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
#IBAction func VideoPlayer(_ sender: Any) {
guard let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "video", ofType:"mp4") 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()
}
}
}
}

Answer 1

Try this.
import UIKit
import AVKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var avPlayer: AVPlayer!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
#IBAction func VideoPlayer(_ sender: Any) {
playVideo()
}
func playVideo() {
let filepath: String? = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "videoplayback", ofType: "mp4")
let fileURL = URL.init(fileURLWithPath: filepath!)
avPlayer = AVPlayer(url: fileURL)
let avPlayerController = AVPlayerViewController()
avPlayerController.player = avPlayer
avPlayerController.view.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: UIScreen.main.bounds.size.width, height: UIScreen.main.bounds.size.height)
// Turn on video controlls
avPlayerController.showsPlaybackControls = true
// play video
avPlayerController.player?.play()
self.view.addSubview(avPlayerController.view)
self.addChild(avPlayerController)
}
}
