tvOS: Video scrubbing UI

Hi,


I'm interested in Video scrubbing UI on tvOS.

Checking Netflix and Youtube, both apps have the same UI for displaying the small thumbnail when scrubbing.

Is this something that is provided by tvOS or custom implementation?

I've been checking the documents and, unless I missed, have not been able to find.


Since both apps have the same UI for this, is it controlled by some guideline?


Thanks in advance,

Anders

Hi Anders!

this functionality is provided by AVPlayerViewController out of the box. However I think that it might not be supported for all stream types - I'm using hls for video playback.

Your information is correct.


I found some information related to this now:
