I want to create a video player app

To create a video player app, you can leverage several sessions from WWDC 2024 that cover various aspects of video playback and user interface customization. Here are some relevant sessions and key points:

1. Tailor macOS windows with SwiftUI

   • This session discusses building a SwiftUI app with scenes like window and window group to organize and play videos. It covers customizing windows for different types of content, such as the main window for navigation, a window for application information, and a video player window for media playback.
   • Chapters to explore:
     • Anatomy of a window
     • App window structure
     • Style window toolbars
     • Refine window behaviors
     • Adjust window placement

2. Explore multiview video playback in visionOS

   • This session introduces Multiview, a feature in AVKit that allows presenting multiple video screens for simultaneous viewing. It covers core concepts and best practices for designing a compelling and intuitive multiview experience.
   • Chapters to explore:
     • Introducing multiview
     • Design a multiview experience

3. Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences

   • This session discusses using AVPlayerViewController for playing both 2D and 3D video content. It also covers how to make content fullscreen and the considerations for spatial video playback.
   • Chapters to explore:
     • Types of stereoscopic experiences
     • Tour of the new APIs
     • Deep dive into spatial media formats

Key Points:

• SwiftUI for macOS Windows: Use SwiftUI to create and customize different windows for your video player app, such as the main window for navigation and a dedicated video player window. Customize toolbars, window behaviors, and placements to enhance the user experience.
• Multiview in visionOS: Utilize AVKit's Multiview feature to allow users to watch multiple videos simultaneously. Design the layout to maximize comfort and viewability, and ensure intuitive controls for adding, removing, and rearranging video screens.
• AVPlayerViewController: Leverage AVPlayerViewController for a consistent video playback experience across 2D and 3D content. Ensure fullscreen playback for 3D videos and minimize UI elements over the video to keep the focus on the content.

By combining these insights, you can create a robust and user-friendly video player app that takes advantage of the latest frameworks and features presented at WWDC 2024.
