Error while playing You Tube videos in IOS Swift app

Question

My following code plays the "fox village.mp4" video, which is commented out, but not the you tube link and gives this error: AddInstanceForFactory: No factory registered for id F8BB1C28-BAE8-11D6-9C31-00039315CD46

Please help if you can. Thanks!!

    let videoURL = URL(string: "https://youtu.be/MTNCcC_H3oM")!


    //   let videoURL = URL(string: "https://wolverine.raywenderlich.com/content/ios/tutorials/video_streaming/foxVillage.mp4")!

    let player =  AVPlayer(url: videoURL)


    let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
    playerViewController.player = player

    present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
      player.play()

The first thing you need to clear that AVPlayer does not have the capacity to play youtube video from URL.

Note:

One thing you need to keep in your mind, AVPlayer is able played video if URL is direct downloadable.
