I am loading videos in AVPlayer in collection view but it repeats some cells data

Question

I am loading videos in AVPlayer in collection view. Some cells repeat data. How to resolve this issue?

 func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {

    let cell:homecollCell = self.collectionview.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "homecollCell", for: indexPath) as! homecollCell
    //cell.player?.pause()

    let obj = self.friends_array[indexPath.row] as! Home

    cell.img.sd_setImage(with: URL(string:self.appDelegate.imgbaseUrl!+obj.thum), placeholderImage: UIImage(named: ""))

    let url = URL.init(string: self.appDelegate.imgbaseUrl!+obj.video_url)

    let screenSize: CGRect = UIScreen.main.bounds
    cell.playerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: url!)
    //cell.player!.replaceCurrentItem(with: cell.playerItem)
    cell.player = AVPlayer(playerItem: cell.playerItem!)
    cell.playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: cell.player!)
    cell.playerLayer!.frame = CGRect(x:0,y:0,width:screenSize.width,height: screenSize.height)
    cell.playerLayer!.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravity.resizeAspectFill
    cell.playerView.layer.addSublayer(cell.playerLayer!)

    cell.player?.play()

Cells are reused, so `cell.playerView.layer.addSublayer(cell.playerLayer!)` might strongly cause an issue. — Larme, May 29 '19 at 09:35
You can remove player whenever cell disappears, and prepare/setup player for which cell will be appear. — Bhavik Modi, May 29 '19 at 09:49

Cells are reusable so you have to remove or discard the changes what you have done on other cells using prepareForReuse(). Simply like this. Call this inside cell.

override func prepareForReuse() {
     super.prepareForReuse()
     self.label.text = nil
}
