Play a local video automatically in in a UIView

Question

I want to play a local video with no controls in a UIView I have imported the frameworks AVFoundation and AVKit into my code. I have also made my class for the UIView, however, I am not sure on how to play the video in my UIView with no controls. I have already found a way to play the video from the internet and that is not what I needed.

you must go first with few tutorials like what controls are available for playing media file in your OS.

In swift 3.0, try this code.

//for Playing Video

@IBAction func btnvideoPlayClicked(_ sender: UIButton) {

     self.videoPlay()
}

func videoPlay()
{
    let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
    playerController.delegate = self

    let bundle = Bundle.main
    let moviePath: String? = bundle.path(forResource: "SoSorry", ofType: "mp4")
    let movieURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: moviePath!)

    let player = AVPlayer(url: movieURL)
    playerController.player = player
    self.addChildViewController(playerController)
    self.view.addSubview(playerController.view)
    playerController.view.frame = self.view.frame

    player.play()

}

sorry but it gives me a few errors you see the class IS the UIview — Hamza, Aug 24 '17 at 12:29
