This is a work around I have been playing with. It isn't great though: /// Creates A Video Player As An SCNGeometries Diffuse Contentsstatic func setupVideoOnNode(_ node: SCNNode, fromURL url: URL) { //1. Create An SKVideoNode var videoPlayerNode: SKVideoNode! //2. Create An AVPlayer With Our Video URL let videoPlayer = AVPlayer(url: url) //3. Initialize The Video Node With Our Video Player videoPlayerNode = SKVideoNode(avPlayer: videoPlayer) videoPlayerNode.yScale = -1 //4. Create A SpriteKitScene & Position It let spriteKitScene = SKScene(size: CGSize(width: 1024, height: 768)) spriteKitScene.scaleMode = .aspectFit videoPlayerNode.position = CGPoint(x: spriteKitScene.size.width/2, y: spriteKitScene.size.height/2) videoPlayerNode.size = spriteKitScene.size spriteKitScene.backgroundColor = .clear //5. Alpha transparency let effectNode = getAlphaEffectNode(videoPlayerNode: videoPlayerNode) spriteKitScene.addChild(effectNode) effectNode.addChild(videoPlayerNode) //6. Set The Nodes Geoemtry Diffuse Contenets To Our SpriteKit Scene node.geometry?.firstMaterial?.diffuse.contents = spriteKitScene //7. Play The Video videoPlayerNode.play() videoPlayer.volume = 0 //8. Loop Video loopVideo(videoPlayer: videoPlayer, node: node)} // MARK: - Add Alpha Transparencystatic func getAlphaEffectNode(videoPlayerNode: SKVideoNode) -> SKEffectNode { // Let's make it transparent, using an SKEffectNode, // since a shader cannot be applied to a SKVideoNode directly let effectNode = SKEffectNode() effectNode.shader = EffectNodeHelper.getAlphaShader() return effectNode
