The sample project provides an example of how to integrate Player, otherwise you can follow these steps.

Allocate and add the Player controller to your view hierarchy.

 self.player = Player()
 self.player.delegate = self
 self.player.view.frame = self.view.bounds
    
 self.addChildViewController(self.player)
 self.view.addSubview(self.player.view)
 self.player.didMoveToParentViewController(self)

Provide the file path to the resource you would like to play locally or stream. Ensure you're including the file extension.

let videoUrl: NSURL = // file or http url
self.player.setUrl(videoUrl)

play/pause/chill

 self.player.playFromBeginning()

Adjust the fill mode for the video, if needed.

 self.player.fillMode = “AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspect”
