Can't get size of the video in AVPlayerLayer on screen

Question

I have a view with layer(AVPlayerLayer) that contains video player(AVPlayer).

I used code from developer.apple.com to show video on the screen.

@implementation PlayerView
+ (Class)layerClass {
    return [AVPlayerLayer class];
}
- (AVPlayer*)player {
    return [(AVPlayerLayer *)[self layer] player];
}
- (void)setPlayer:(AVPlayer *)player {
    [(AVPlayerLayer *)[self layer] setPlayer:player];
}
@end

How i can get size of the video in playerview.frame? I can't use videoGravity for fill entire frame of the view, because i need to display landscape and portrait video.

I'm not sure which size do you want to get. The actual video size (video frame dimensions)? The portion of player layer with video content? — djromero, Aug 22 '12 at 10:21
I want to get video frame in AVPlayerLayer after scaling/resizing of PlayerView. Not actual video size. — Andrey Banshchikov, Aug 22 '12 at 10:48
It gives to you layer size, but not size of resized video in that layer. I found answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12113468/1545158 — Andrey Banshchikov, Aug 27 '12 at 20:43
yeah this works: GRect transformedBounds = CGRectApplyAffineTransform([avplayerLayer bounds], CATransform3DGetAffineTransform(playerLayer.sublayerTransform)); — yeahdixon, Apr 24 '13 at 16:04

You can use videoRect property of the AVPlayerLayer. You can read more about it in the documentation.

2022 SwiftUI Approach

struct PlayerViewController: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
    
    private let avController =  AVPlayerViewController()
    var videoURL: URL?
    private var player: AVPlayer {
        return AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
    }
    
    //  HERE 
    func getVideoActualSize() -> CGRect {
        self.avController.videoBounds
    }

    func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> AVPlayerViewController {
        avController.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen
        avController.player = player
        avController.player?.play()
        return avController
    }

    func updateUIViewController(_ playerController: AVPlayerViewController, context: Context) {}
}
