hi I am having a issue with sound on a network video stream, the stream is loaded by a m3u,. during playback there is no audio from the device, however when using headphones / airplay audio works correctly. the other peculiar thing is the device simulator works fine. this maybe related to airplay working, but I don't know. this is the view handling the playback. Im not sure where the issue is. I can also play the videos fine when embedding the avplayer in its own view. but that looks messy when you have to dismiss a second window when closing the video. #if os(iOS) import SwiftUI import AVKit import MediaPlayer struct iOSVideoLibraryView: View { @ObservedObject var videoLibrary: VideoLibrary @State private var isPlayerDismissed = false let LiveStreams = [GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible())] let VODStreams = [GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible()), GridItem(.flexible())] var body: some View { NavigationView { ScrollView { LazyVGrid(columns: LiveStreams, spacing: 20) { ForEach(videoLibrary.videos, id: \.title) { video in if video.type == "LIVE" { Button(action: { isPlayerDismissed = false // Reset the dismissal flag presentVideoPlayer(videoURL: video.referenceURL) }) { VStack { Image(systemName: "play.circle.fill") .font(.system(size: 30)) // icon .foregroundColor(.blue) Text(video.title) .frame(width: 100, height: 50) // title bounds .font(Font.caption) .background(Color.blue) .foregroundColor(.white) .cornerRadius(3) } .frame(width: 70) // main button container .padding() .background(Color.blue.opacity(0.2)) .cornerRadius(10) } } else { // Handle non-LIVE videos } } } .padding() } .navigationBarTitle("Live Streams") } } private func presentVideoPlayer(videoURL: URL) { let playerViewController = CustomAVPlayerViewController() let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL) playerViewController.player = player player.isMuted = false player.play() DispatchQueue.main.async { playerViewController.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen UIApplication.shared.windows.first?.rootViewController?.present(playerViewController, animated: true, completion: nil) } } } class PlayerManager: NSObject, AVPictureInPictureControllerDelegate { static let shared = PlayerManager() func pictureInPictureControllerWillStartPictureInPicture(_ pictureInPictureController: AVPictureInPictureController) { // Perform any necessary actions when picture-in-picture starts } func pictureInPictureControllerDidStopPictureInPicture(_ pictureInPictureController: AVPictureInPictureController) { // Perform any necessary actions when picture-in-picture stops } func pictureInPictureController(_ pictureInPictureController: AVPictureInPictureController, failedToStartPictureInPictureWithError error: Error) { // Perform any necessary actions when picture-in-picture fails to start } } class CustomAVPlayerViewController: AVPlayerViewController { let playerManager = PlayerManager.shared let customPlayer = AVPlayer() override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewDidAppear(animated) if AVPictureInPictureController.isPictureInPictureSupported() { if let playerItem = customPlayer.currentItem { let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: customPlayer) playerLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill let pictureInPictureController = AVPictureInPictureController(playerLayer: playerLayer) pictureInPictureController?.delegate = playerManager if let pictureInPictureController = pictureInPictureController, pictureInPictureController.isPictureInPicturePossible { pictureInPictureController.startPictureInPicture() } } } } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() customPlayer.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: "currentItem", options: .new, context: nil) } override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewDidDisappear(animated) customPlayer.removeObserver(self, forKeyPath: "currentItem") } override func observeValue(forKeyPath keyPath: String?, of object: Any?, change: [NSKeyValueChangeKey : Any]?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) { if keyPath == "currentItem" { if let playerItem = customPlayer.currentItem { // Handle player item change } } } } #endif
