Just Player

Overview

Just Player is a very simple wrapper for Cocoa AVPlayer. It wrapps complicated usage of AVPlayer. For those who want to use AVPlayer in a super easy way, and tweek in her/his later need.

Steps of Usage

Assume we declare a 'player' property of type JustPlayer* in our view controller like this:

	#import "JustPlayer.h"
	#import "JustPlayerLayerView.h"

	@interface ViewController ()
	@property (nonatomic, strong) JustPlayer *player;
	@end

allocate

	self.player = [[JustPlayer alloc] init];

ready to play block

When it is ready to play, this block will be called.

Basically we have to call [play:] inside, you can tweek your own.

	__weak ViewController *weak = self;

	self.player.blkPlayerItemReady = ^(AVPlayerItemStatus

	status) {

        if (AVPlayerItemStatusReadyToPlay == status) {

            [weak.player play];

        }
        else {

            NSLog(@"player item status is %d", status);

        }
    };

load range block (optional)

On playing, it will fetch next segmant of video asset, and notifies us.

	    self.player.blkPlayerItemLoadTimeRange = ^(float start, float duration) {

        NSLog(@"get range (%.1f, %.1f)", start, duration);

    };

setup URL to play

	    [self.player prepareForURL: url];

setup display

Use storyboard to add a UIView UI object, set it as JustPlayerLayerView class, and make it as an outlet of your view controller, say :

	#import "JustPlayerLayerView.h"
	@interface ViewController : UIViewController
	@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet JustPlayerLayerView *playerLayer;

Set the outlet view as the 'display' of JustPlayer:

	[self.playerLayer setPlayer: self.player.player];

• If you want to add Exception Breakpoint, please change its type from 'All' to 'Objective-C', such that the C++ exception throwed by the Audio related framwork can be passed. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9683547/avaudioplayer-throws-breakpoint-in-debug-mode
