Some of the advance features are:
- Fully customizable UI
- No full screen restrictions (have it any size and position you would like!)
- Display subtitles (SRT supported out of the box)
- Customize subtitles (use CSS for styling courtesy of DTCoreText)
- Supports HTTP Live streaming
- Orientation change support (even when orientation lock is enabled)
- Bulletproof event machine to easily integrate features like video ads
- Lots of delegate callbacks for your own logging requirements
To run the Demo project; clone the repo, and run pod install from the VKVideoPlayer directory first.
After installed pod, open VKVideoPlayer.xcworkspace in Xcode to run Demo Application.
VKVideoPlayer is available through CocoaPods, to install it simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod "VKVideoPlayer", "~> 0.1.1"
Simple way to play Http Live Streaming contents.
VKVideoPlayerViewController *viewController = [[VKVideoPlayerViewController alloc] init];
[self presentModalViewController:viewController animated:YES];
[viewController playVideoWithStreamURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://content.viki.com/test_ios/ios_240.m3u8"]];
It is able to use customized video player view.
self.player = [[VKVikiVideoPlayer alloc] initWithVideoPlayerView:[[VKVikiVideoPlayer alloc] init]];
self.player.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:self.player]
Also VKVideoPlayerView has simple way for additional control.
- (void)addSubviewForControl:(UIView *)view;
- (void)addSubviewForControl:(UIView *)view toView:(UIView*)parentView;
- (void)addSubviewForControl:(UIView *)view toView:(UIView*)parentView forOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientationMask)orientation;
Sample
// Display newButton when screen is landscape mode.
[self.player.view addSubviewForControl:newButton toView:self.player.view forOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape]
To cofigure VKVideoPlayer, there are some properties.
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL forceRotate;
This property can change behavior of orientation. If UIViewController has only Portrait mode, but it can rotate to Landscape when set it YES.
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGRect portraitFrame;
This property is used when rotate to Portrait by forceRotate. Video player view will be this frame size.
@property (nonatomic, assign) CGRect landscapeFrame;
This property is used when rotate to Landscape by forceRotate. Video player view will be this frame size.
To customize subtitles, there are some way. To change font size, use VKSharedUtility. There are 3 values.
// value accepts @0, @1, @2 or @3;
// @0 : Tiny
// @1 : Medium
// @2 : Large
// @3 : Huge
[VKSharedUtility setValue:@1 forKey:kVKSettingsSubtitleSizeKey];
Or you can override following method to customize caption style.
- (DTCSSStylesheet*)captionStyleSheet:(NSString*)color {
float fontSize = 1.3f;
float shadowSize = 1.0f;
switch ([[VKSharedUtility setting:kVKSettingsSubtitleSizeKey] integerValue]) {
case 1:
fontSize = 1.5f;
break;
case 2:
fontSize = 2.0f;
shadowSize = 1.2f;
break;
case 3:
fontSize = 3.5f;
shadowSize = 1.5f;
break;
}
DTCSSStylesheet* stylesheet = [[DTCSSStylesheet alloc] initWithStyleBlock:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"body{\
text-align: center;\
font-size: %fem;\
font-family: Helvetica Neue;\
font-weight: bold;\
color: %@;\
text-shadow: -%fpx -%fpx %fpx #000, %fpx -%fpx %fpx #000, -%fpx %fpx %fpx #000, %fpx %fpx %fpx #000;\
vertical-align: bottom;\
}", fontSize, color, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize, shadowSize]];
return stylesheet;
}
VKVideoPlayer has a delegate protocol VKVideoPlayerDelegate.
You can use it for your application's logging or other controls.

- (void)videoPlayer:(VKVideoPlayer*)videoPlayer willChangeStateTo:(VKVideoPlayerState)toState;
This method is before changing state. also before -shouldVideoPlayer:changeStateTo:.
- (void)videoPlayer:(VKVideoPlayer*)videoPlayer didChangeStateFrom:(VKVideoPlayerState)fromState;
This method is called after changing state.
- (BOOL)shouldVideoPlayer:(VKVideoPlayer*)videoPlayer startVideo:(id<VKVideoPlayerTrackProtocol>)track;
This method is called before loading video. You can prevent before it makes traffic if video shouldn't play.

This method is called every second during playing video.
- (void)videoPlayer:(VKVideoPlayer*)videoPlayer didPlayToEnd:(id<VKVideoPlayerTrackProtocol>)track;
This method is called finished to play video. You can start to play next video here.
