Play video from data chunks

Question

I received video from node sever in chunks of data. But video does not play in AVPlayer. Here is my code.

           let videoUrl = http://staging.teemo.me/api/video/stream/sample12.MOV

 playVideo(path:videoUrl, self)

      func playVideo(path:String, controller:UIViewController){
                let yourFinalVideoURL = path
                try! AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback, with: [])
                if (yourFinalVideoURL != "") {
                    let player = AVPlayer(url: NSURL(fileURLWithPath: yourFinalVideoURL) as URL)
                    let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
                    playerController.player = player
                    controller.present(playerController, animated: true) {
                        //player.play()
                        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
                            player.playImmediately(atRate: 1.0)
                        } else {
                            player.play()
                        }
                    }
                }
              }

Your url string is not secure. So I suggest you to check [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30731785/how-do-i-load-an-http-url-with-app-transport-security-enabled-in-ios-9) — ridvankucuk, Mar 15 '17 at 15:26

The follow code works for me:

let videoURL = URL(string: "Some url")
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
    playerViewController.player!.play()
}

However when I tried to use your url it doesn't work. I added the NSAppTransportSecurity in .plist, but it didn't work either. It is obvious that you have a problem with the url, try to change the extension of the file sample12.MOV to sample12.mp4

i change this in .mp4 but face same problem – Shahbaz Akram Mar 16 '17 at 05:31 — Shahbaz Akram, Mar 16 '17 at 05:31
