# isPlaybackBufferFull

A Boolean value that indicates whether the internal media buffer is full and that further I/O is suspended.

```
nonisolated var isPlaybackBufferFull: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Despite the playback buffer reaching capacity there might not exist sufficient statistical data to support a [`isPlaybackLikelyToKeepUp`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVPlayerItem/isPlaybackLikelyToKeepUp) prediction of <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.
