AVPlayer and its related components were discussed in several sessions at WWDC 2024. Here are some key points:
-
Explore multiview video playback in visionOS:
- AVPlayerViewController offers a familiar user interface and integrates with many system features, enhancing video viewing capabilities on visionOS. It supports Multiview, allowing simultaneous viewing of multiple video screens (Explore multiview video playback in visionOS).
- Multiview is customizable and can be used to watch multiple streams or different camera angles (Explore multiview video playback in visionOS).
-
Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences:
- AVPlayerViewController is a cross-platform API for playing both 2D and 3D video content. It supports HTTP live streaming for spatial video and can display 3D video when in fullscreen mode (Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences).
- For full spatial presentation, it is recommended to use the preview application instead of AVPlayerViewController (Build compelling spatial photo and video experiences).
-
Discover media performance metrics in AVFoundation:
- AVPlayer provides various client-side metrics via access logs, error logs, and notifications. New metrics for HLS streaming assets are available in iOS 18 (Discover media performance metrics in AVFoundation).
- AVPlayerItem conforms to the AVMetricEventStreamPublisher protocol, allowing it to publish events such as likely to keep up, summary events, rate change events, seek events, and error events (Discover media performance metrics in AVFoundation).
