AVPlayer, notification for play/pause state?

Question

I\'m searching for a way to get notified the exact moment when AVPlayer starts playing. There\'s the \"rate\" property, but currently I am checking it periodically

Answer 1

1)Add below (observer)code to your avPlayer Object

self.player?.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: "rate", options: [], context: nil)

2)And below delegate for that

override func observeValue(forKeyPath keyPath: String?, of object: Any?, change: [NSKeyValueChangeKey : Any]?, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?) {
        if (keyPath == "rate") {
            if ((player?.rate) == 1) {
                print("Plyaing")

            } else {
                print("Pause")
            }
        }
    }
