You can get a Notification when the player ends. Check AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification
When setting up the player:
ObjC
avPlayer.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionAtItemEndNone;
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(playerItemDidReachEnd:)
name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification
object:[avPlayer currentItem]];
this will prevent the player to pause at the end.
in the notification:
- (void)playerItemDidReachEnd:(NSNotification *)notification {
AVPlayerItem *p = [notification object];
[p seekToTime:kCMTimeZero];
}
this will rewind the movie.
Don’t forget un unregister the notification when releasing the player.
Swift
avPlayer?.actionAtItemEnd = .none
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(playerItemDidReachEnd(notification:)),
name: .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime,
object: avPlayer?.currentItem)
@objc func playerItemDidReachEnd(notification: Notification) {
if let playerItem = notification.object as? AVPlayerItem {
playerItem.seek(to: kCMTimeZero)
}
}
