AVPlayerLayer shows black screen but sound is working

Question

Im trying to display a local recorded video in a AVPlayerLayer which works sometimes. I can hear the audio from the recorded video but can\'t see the v

Answer 1

Here's how I set a AVPlayerLayer with the video working (I think what you're missing is the videoGravity parameter).

let bundle = Bundle.main
let moviePath = bundle.path(forResource: "myVideo", ofType: "mp4")
let moviePlayer = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: moviePath!))

playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: moviePlayer)
playerLayer.frame = movieView.bounds
playerLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspect
movieView.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
playerLayer.player?.play()
