Swift : Play a Facebook Video using an AVPlayer
I need to play videos from several video sources (Facebook & Instagram) for my iOS app.
I create an AVPlayerItem with the video URL and it's work for Instagram but not for facebook.
URLs layout are as following :
Instagram :
https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t50.2886-16/xxx.mp4
Facebook :
https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=xxx
Is there a way to play Facebook videos in AVPlayer or should I use UIWebview?
Solution
The problem was the way how I recovered the video.
The following URL allow recovering an iFrame, not a playable file https://www.facebook.com/video/embed?video_id=xxx
According to Facebook Video API, you can get "A URL to the raw, playable video file" with "source" field.
I made a test call with Postman. You can see the correct URL highlighted which can be used successfully in AVPlayer.
