I am a newbie and having allot of of trouble getting the

AVKit Player View

from the xcode (OS X) storyboard to simply play a mp4 video.

i have placed my video

TestMovie.mp4

into the Root View ->Build Phases->Copy Bundle Resources. and also loaded in AVKit, AVFoundation, MediaPlayer in the

linked frameworks and librarys

tab.

My AVKit Player View has been placed onto my second

NSViewController

view - which is loaded from the initial view via a button.

this is my current

SecondViewController

swift file attached to my second view controller. where

playerView

has been pulled in from the stoyboard

AVKit Player View

. i have been trying out many different things hence the many /

here is my code so far:

import Cocoa

import AVKit

import AVFoundation

import MediaPlayer

class SecondViewController: NSViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var playerView: AVPlayerView!

override func viewDidLoad() {

super.viewDidLoad()

loadVideo()

private func loadVideo() {

let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "TestMovie", ofType:"mp4")

// let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "TestMovie", ofType: "mp4")

//let player = AVPlayer(url: path!)

//let player = AVPlayer(url: NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path!) as URL)

//let filePathURL = NSURL.fileURL(withPath: path!)

//let player = AVPlayer(url: filePathURL)

let playerView = AVPlayer(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: path!))

//playerView.player = player

playerView.play()

}

@IBAction func joshdismiss(_ sender: Any) {

self.dismiss(self)

}

The correct code ought to look like this:

private func loadVideo() {
     let movieURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "TestMovie", ofType: "mp4")!
     let player = AVPlayer(url: movieURL)
     playerView.player = player
     playerView.play()
}

If that doesn't work, be sure to say what outcome you get (error messages, which line it crashes at, what you see in the player, etc).
