how do I build a video player

To build a video player, you can leverage various tools and frameworks presented at WWDC. Here are some key points and sessions that can help you get started:

1. Using AVPlayerViewController:

   • Session: Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences
   • Details: AVPlayerViewController is a cross-platform API for playing all types of video content. It supports both 2D and 3D video and is a great option for displaying both types of content with a consistent presentation style. For fullscreen content, size the AVPlayerViewController to match the frame of the window scene.

2. Customizing Video Player Windows in SwiftUI:

   • Session: Tailor macOS windows with SwiftUI
   • Details: You can use SwiftUI to create and customize video player windows. This involves using scenes like Window and WindowGroup to organize and play videos. You can further tune the windows for your app's content by applying changes to toolbars, window behaviors, and window placements.

3. Multiview Video Playback in visionOS:

   • Session: Explore multiview video playback in visionOS
   • Details: AVKit offers Multiview, a system-integrated viewing experience that allows you to present multiple video screens for simultaneous viewing. This is useful for scenarios like watching multiple sports games or different camera angles of the same content.

4. Enhancing Immersion in Custom Environments:

   • Session: Enhance the immersion of media viewing in custom environments
   • Details: To make your media playback experience more immersive, you can use Reality Composer Pro to prepare 3D content and visualize your experience. This includes adding video dock presets and customizing the docking region for your video player.

By combining these tools and techniques, you can build a robust and immersive video player tailored to your specific needs. If you need more detailed guidance on any of these points, feel free to ask!
