AVPlayer video is not fitting horizontal

Question

Building my first app and trying to fit the background video horizontal.

Below is the code l'm using

override func viewDidLoad()
{
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let URL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "homedocapp", withExtension: "mp4")

    Player = AVPlayer.init(url: URL!)

    PlayerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: Player)
    PlayerLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill
    PlayerLayer.frame = self.view.frame; PlayerLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill
    PlayerLayer.zPosition = -1

    Player.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionAtItemEnd.none

    self.view.layer.addSublayer(PlayerLayer)

    Player.play()

    view.layer.insertSublayer(PlayerLayer, at: 0)

    NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(playerItemReachEnd(notification:)), name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: Player.currentItem)


}

AVPlayer Horizontal display

Thank you in advances

When 'viewDidLoad' is called, view still can have incorrect size. So your PlayerLayer will have incorrect size as well. Try to move your code to the 'viewDidLayoutSubviews' function:

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() 
{
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()

    // Set up your player layer instance here
}
