AVNavigationMarkersGroup

A set of markers for navigating playback of an audiovisual presentation.

Declaration

class AVNavigationMarkersGroup : NSObject

Overview

The most common form of a navigation markers group is a chapter list; however, you can also provide other sets of markers to allow a user to jump to significant events in the presentation. For example, a “Goals Scored” markers group might summarize key moments in a recorded sporting event. When you associate navigation markers with an AVPlayerItem object you present with an AVPlayerViewController, the user interface provides options for navigating each group.
