SKVideoNode frame rate

Question

Basically SKVideoNode will not respect AVPlayer's rate.

By default, SKVideoNode has no way of controlling playback rate. However, the SKVideoNode can be initialized with an AVPlayer (which itself contains an AVPlayerItem). This AVPlayer has a property rate which can vary from 0 to 2 (1 is normal speed). There is also the method setRate:time:atHostTime:.

So the rate doesn't work. Have you had the same problem?. If there is no way to resolve this? is there another way to play a video and change the frame rate in a SKScene?

func setupVideo() {
    // play video
    let urlStr = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("sample", ofType: "mp4")
    let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: urlStr!)

    player = AVPlayer(URL: url)

    videoNode = SKVideoNode(AVPlayer: player!)
    videoNode?.position = CGPointMake(frame.size.width/2, frame.size.height/2)
    videoNode?.size = CGSize(width: frame.size.width, height: frame.size.height)
    videoNode?.zPosition = 1
    addChild(videoNode!)

    player!.rate = 0.25
    videoNode!.play()


}

It doesn't matter where I add player!.rate = 0.25, it never changes.

can you show some code or a project ? – Rhythmic Fistman Sep 29 '16 at 02:32 — Rhythmic Fistman, Sep 29 '16 at 02:32

did you try changing the speed of the node? – Knight0fDragon Sep 29 '16 at 17:46 — Knight0fDragon, Sep 29 '16 at 17:46
No @Knight0fDragon, how can I do that? – utiq Sep 30 '16 at 00:49 — utiq, Sep 30 '16 at 00:49
`.speed` on your node lol – Knight0fDragon Sep 30 '16 at 00:49 — Knight0fDragon, Sep 30 '16 at 00:49
lol. No, it doesn't work changing the speed – utiq Sep 30 '16 at 00:55 — utiq, Sep 30 '16 at 00:55
