Is it okay to override pressesBegan() to minimize a fullscreen AVPlayer in tvOS?

Question

A part of my tvOS App UI is a minimized (400px width) AVPlayer and a button that sets that resizes the AVPlayer to fullscreen view by setting its frame to the window boundaries:

playerController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height).

I was not able to add a 'close fullscreen' button to the fullscreen avplayer (that would be the best solution) that's why I'm overriding the pressesBegan()-method with:

override func pressesBegan(presses: Set<UIPress>, withEvent event: UIPressesEvent?)
    {
        guard presses.first?.type == UIPressType.Menu else
        {
            super.pressesBegan(presses, withEvent: event)
            return
        }

        // If not minimized, minimize it
        if playerController.view.frame.size.width != 400
        {
            playerController.view.frame = minimizedVideoBounds
        }
    }

The question

Is this a possible, safe and clean why to achieve my UX goal or is a a dirty hack that should be avoided at all costs?

Answer 1

In short: No it's not. I got weird side effects. I think we should use the AVPlayer or the AVPlayerController as full screen element and we should avoid subclassing this stuff.

If somebody is smart enough to handle this: Please tell me how.
