I'm successfully playing a video retrieved from YouTube API in YTPlayerView This is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV1e-iSo5As Viewing directly in Chrome, I'm able to change player rate to various rates (0.25, 0.5 etc) However when I attempt one of these rates, during playback in my App using, say: setPlaybackRate(0.5), nothing changes (I've tried this both pre, and during playback)
Calling availablePlaybackRates() returns nil (I've tried this both pre, and during playback)
I have attempted this both on physical devices (iPhone ios10.3 + iPad ios10.3) as well as on various simulators. I have also tried with various other YouTube videos - same result.
Is it not possible to change playback rates in YTPlayerView, or is there some pre-setup required?
Relevant Code
func ytPlayerViewLoad(vid: String) {
playerView.load(withVideoId: vid, playerVars: ["playsinline" : 1])
playerView.webView.allowsInlineMediaPlayback = true
}
@IBAction func speedHalf(_ sender: Any) {
if playerView.availablePlaybackRates() == nil {
print("Do'h - no playback rates available")
} else {
print("Yay - playback rates available")
}
playerView.setPlaybackRate(0.5)
}
I'm starting to experiment with bypassing YTPlayerView and using UIWebView directly - passing in javascript to change player rate - but not getting far - but if anyone knows of an example of this that would be great! THanks
