I have the same issue described in this question (link) but in my case I'm using AVPlayerViewController instead MPMoviePlayerController, so I tried to apply the same logic of the answer but AVPlayer has only unknow, readyToPlay and failed status and I can't know when the Controller is closed.How can I know when the AVPlayerViewController is closed or how can I solved the same crash caused by orientation?

my ViewController orientation methods:

override var shouldAutorotate : Bool {
    return false
}

override var supportedInterfaceOrientations : UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.portrait
}

this is the method that opens the AVPlayerViewController:

func playVideo(at videoUrl: URL) {
    let controller = AVPlayerViewController()
    controller.player = AVPlayer(playerItem: AVPlayerItem(url: videoUrl))
    self.present(controller, animated: true, completion: {
        controller.player?.play()
    })
}

UPDATE:

  • I think you have not stoped player while disappering from currentviewcontroller. i think when you are going back to previous viewcontroller stop the player. – Ashok Londhe Jul 05 '17 at 10:58
  • @AshokLondhe the crash says: Fatal Exception: UIApplicationInvalidInterfaceOrientation as the question that I linked – Roran Jul 05 '17 at 11:27
  • That you didn't mentinoded in Question please check your question also in link i didn't seems it. – Ashok Londhe Jul 05 '17 at 12:28
  • @AshokLondhe if you are careful, you can see the link of the similar problem and at the end of my question I said the crash is caused by orientation – Roran Jul 05 '17 at 13:37
  • you have not shared any crash log so how can you say that crash is because of orientation? – Ashok Londhe Jul 05 '17 at 13:39

Best solution is create new UIWindow and set AVPlayerViewController as rootViewController and configure orientations for new window.
I used this solution for images gallery with landscape and portrait orientations when app is used only portrait.
Example:

UIWindow *modalWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
modalWindow.tag = kWindowTag;
modalWindow.rootViewController = <your player vc>;
[modalWindow makeKeyAndVisible];

But you need after closing AVPlayerViewController set modalWindow.hidden = yes and call makeKeyAndVisible for previous window.

I used #import <objc/runtime.h> for overriding presentViewController:animated:completion: and dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion: and in my methods i implemented logic for showing/dismissing new window.

If you will need more examples or explanations, please let me know. Thanks
