I had a black screen and background sound thats example code: override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() playVideo() } func playVideo() { let videoURL = URL(string: "http://qthttp.apple.com.edgesuite.net/1010qwoeiuryfg/sl.m3u8") let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL!) player.rate = 1 player.appliesMediaSelectionCriteriaAutomatically = true var playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController() playerViewController.player = player playerViewController.allowsVideoFrameAnalysis = true DispatchQueue.main.async { self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) { playerViewController.player!.play() } } }
