Replay items in AVQueuePlayer after last

Question

I need to create something like an infinite loop in my AVQueuePlayer. Especially, I want to replay the whole NSArray of AVPlayerItems

In Swift 4, you can use something like the following:

        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: nil, queue: nil) {

            notification in

            print("A PlayerItem just finished playing !")

            currentVideo += 1

            if(currentVideo >= videoPaths.count) {

               currentVideo = 0
            }

            let url = URL(fileURLWithPath:videoPaths[currentVideo])
            let playerItem = AVPlayerItem.init(url: url)

            player.insert(playerItem, after: nil)
        }

From what I understand the AVQueuePlayer will remove the last item played, so you need to keep adding the video just played to the queue, otherwise it will actually run out of videos to play! You can't just .seek to 0 and .play() again, that doesn't work.
