Fit video inside of a view

Question

I'm trying to fit a video inside the view I've created on storyboard.

Here is how I added the view to my storyboard.

Here is how it shown in simulator. I want to fit the video inside of the view I've created.

func createVideoView() {
    if let url = URL(string: self.videoUrl!) {
        let player = AVPlayer(url: url)
        let avController = AVPlayerViewController()
        avController.player = player
        // your desired frame
        avController.view.frame = self.videoView.frame
        self.view.addSubview(avController.view)
        self.addChild(avController)
    }
}

Also here is how I create the video. Notice that videoView variable is the view I want to show the video in.

AVPlayerController has attribute videoGravity to set fill video and resizeAspectFill is the one you need to set fill video on the screen. Notice that when you fill maybe it will not show correctly for all video.

func createVideoView() {
    if let url = URL(string: "https://jplayer.org/video/m4v/Big_Buck_Bunny_Trailer.m4v") {
        let player = AVPlayer(url: url)
        let avController = AVPlayerViewController()
        avController.player = player
        // your desired frame
        avController.view.frame = self.videoView.frame
        avController.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill // here
        self.view.addSubview(avController.view)
        self.addChild(avController)
    }
}

Beside, you should make the AVPlayer as the subview of your videoView so that you can handle easier than addSubView to your viewController.

func createVideoView() {
    if let url = URL(string: "https://jplayer.org/video/m4v/Big_Buck_Bunny_Trailer.m4v") {
        let player = AVPlayer(url: url)
        let avController = AVPlayerViewController()
        avController.player = player
        // your desired frame
        avController.view.frame = self.videoView.bounds // change to bounds
        avController.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill // here
        self.videoView.addSubview(avController.view) // add subview to videoView
        self.addChild(avController)
    }
}
