Allow iOS to set full screen icon manually

Looking at the documentation for both iOS and Android, there is some inconsistency. On Android, they are allowed to set the full screen either true or false with

setFullScreenButton(Boolean)

But not on iOS. On iOS, it's only toggleFullscreen() which doesn't let you play with the boolean value at all.

Wondering if there is any work around?

start parameter is not working

I have done a sample project with the below parameters and it's working correctly. After a month I tried the same parameters is not working and the video still starts from 0

let parameters: [String: Any] = [
"fullscreen-action": "trigger_event",
"logo": "false",
"sharing-action": "trigger_event",
"start": Int(25)
]
let controller = DMPlayerViewController(parameters: parameters)
controller.delegate = self
return controller
}()

The latest version of pod player 4.0.7 does not play videos below iOS 14

On iOS 12 and 13, I am not able to play videos with this latest version.

Autoplay problem in iOS < 11.4

When i start play video in iOS >= 11.4 it's play fine.
When i start play video in iOS 11.2 and 10.3 it's didn't start play.
For test i use demo app.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    setupPlayerViewController()
    playerViewController.load(videoId: "x4r5udv", params: "{ \"autoplay\": true }")
}

or

 fileprivate lazy var playerViewController: DMPlayerViewController = {
    let parameters: [String: Any] = [
      "fullscreen-action": "trigger_event",
      "sharing-action": "trigger_event",
      "autoplay": true
    ]
    let controller = DMPlayerViewController(parameters: parameters)
    controller.delegate = self
    return controller
  }()

Example project | No user interaction

I just download your example project. I am able to load video but there is no user interaction. I try to click on pause / fullscreen / share, nothing happens.

I'm facing the same problem in my project using your POD !

Since I can't click on buttons, they disappear, when I try to show them again (by many clicks), this is what happen :

The view is broken.

Picture-in-Picture - Mobile

Is it possible call an method to enable picture-in-picture without to click on the button of the player?

White pages could be automatically opened when playing an ad

All is in the title

[Not related with the sdk] Scroll is disabled

When we embed dailymotion iframe inside a webView, the vertical scroll on the dailymotion video is not working.

Fullscreen problem

Hi team,

Thanks.

  func player(_ player: DMPlayerViewController, didReceiveEvent event: PlayerEvent) {
    switch event {

case .namedEvent(let name, let data) where name == "volumechange":

    default:
      break
    }
  }

player does not play video

#6 the exemple if you move the load from the play function in the setupPlayerViewController the video does not load, I get a black view.

This can reproduce the way I am handling in my app. #

Player could launch an URL from IMASDK

Migrate to Swift 4

For now this SDK is compliant but not migrated yet on swift4.

How to create custom view on video player

I am making video player in swift. I add some custom buttons and functionality for standard video player: 1. Playing video from URL (server) 2. Showing indicator while loading video like in VK 3. Add custom buttons to control (stop, pause buttons) and its working fine. I'm trying to implement custom view on player like below screen shot and play in custom duration in loop.

I need this type of view on video player

Screen Shot

I can't understand how I can implement my tasks(For video url) there. Can you give some advice, which is the better way to do this?

Is possible to hide/show fullscreen button by another button or event?

How to use Daily Motion player with Swift UI properly

Hi all,

I been working in a project where we have to use Daily Motion player in a iOS and Android app. I'll focus only in iOS here.

The app is targeted to iOS 14.5 and it use SwiftUI to compose user interface.

I'm getting several problems to handle Daily Motion player using SwiftUI, specially to manage when and how to stop or continue playing a video.

I did a sample project here. That project can be used to explore some of these issues.

First one is related to initializer.
There are some params like autoplay that never work. The video always start playing, even if I try to force it to stop after load callback.

Second is related to lifecycle.
There's no way to stop playing after a view disappear or another view been presented over another. Even using dismantleUIViewController from UIViewControllerRepresentable, the player doesn't respond to playback commands and sometimes, its reference is lost.

I kept this sample simple as possible to ask you help to figure out what I have to do to make it more functional for SwiftUI apps.

Thanks

How to set Extra Parameters in swift

I want to add set parameters like android:
setExtraParameters("ui-logo=false&ui-start-screen-info=false&sharing-enable=false&endscreen-enable=false");

Video can not play again if be paused when view controller disappears

Hi, Guys
I add these code in ViewController.swift of your Demo Project

override func viewDidDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidDisappear(animated)
    playerViewController.pause()
}
    
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
    playerViewController.play()
}

And stay in ViewController2.swift for 5 seconds, then come back, the video can not play again,
except seek duration time or reload.

Do you know what happened?

qualitiesavailable event does not properly work

Hello
I have an issue with the "qualitiesavailable" event. Every time I am using it, the only quality returned is 144P. I think it may be the preroll's quality. But, when the media starts, the "qualitiesavailable" is not called.

Is there a proper way to get the available qualities for a video and change the quality, without using the Dailymotion controls ? (I think the only way to do this is to reload the video, using the "start" and "quality" playerParameters)

Thanks;
Best regards,
Alexis

Cannot dismiss once I have entered Fullscreen.

After entering Fullscreen, dragging down stops the videos, instead of resizing it.

Code

  let parameters:[String:Any] = ["controls": 1]  
  let playerView = DMPlayerViewController(parameters: parameters)  
  addChildViewController(playerView)  
  playerView.view.frame = tableHeader.bounds  
  playerView.delegate = self  
  playerView.load(videoId: movie.VId!)  
  playerView.play()

Feature request: ads playback state

I implement native controls for dailymotion video player. I've faced difficulties with ads. There is no flags for checking if ads are playing. Can you implement this? I know there are ads events and I can implement this on my side, but it will be useful for other sdk users.

Video paused but not the button

Here is the scenario:

1/ Launch a viewController having a Dailymotion player and an audio player.
2/ Start the Dailymotion player
3/ Start the audio player
-> The Dailymotion video is paused but sometimes the play button is not changed and still have pause image in place of play.

Video player fills entire screen

I used all the codes, but ended with a video that loads, but the player is the entire screen. Adjusting the view size doesn't change anything. Here is the screenshot

Play Video from Playlist

To load a simple video we've to pass video id
But in my, application want to play videos from the playlist.

URL is something like this.
https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/playlist/{videoid}?autoplay=1&mute=1

Video status frame didn't appear when tapping on video in landscape (after rotation)

Please try to rotate the device and tap the video. you will see video status frame was not appear.

Any Help?

Cocoapods installation error : Unable to find a specification for `DailymotionSwiftPlayerSDK`

How to exit FullScreen?

I'm using DMPlayerViewController in full screenmode and start it via a present command, so modal.
All's good, but how do I close now this full screen modal ?

The little full screen icon doesn't do anything, no event sent in the delegate, there is no X button or anything, so, how do I close it ?

Android has a hardware back, we don't. Any other idea except me adding a X button in code in your controller?

Bug with the player control buttons

When we select the settings of the player and after we close it, we loose the control of the player and we can't have the control buttons anymore.

If connected with Headphone then video pause

Hello,

I am integrating it with Swift 3.2 and am facing a strange issue. When I connect the headphone then it will stop to playing the video or sometime video is playing but no sound come in headphone. When I disconnect the headphone then it will remain in pause state.

Any suggestion?

Duration is not available for Live DVR videos

For live videos with DVR, the duration is not available. On iOS we only receive the event with infinite duration:
"event=durationchange&duration=Infinity"

At the same time on Android we receive seekable duration with concrete value for the same video, like this:
"event=durationchange&duration=1000.12"

We have tested with different videos and have the same problem for all of them.
It used to be ok last week.

Thanks.

Multiple player instance in UICollectionView with rejected_inactive_tab error

I would like to have multiple video instance in a horizontal UICollectionView which keep the last playing state, something like the Home screen in dailymotion iOS app downloadable from App store. User should be able to continue from the previous fetch video.

How can we do this? I don't see any sample from the sample code

What have been done:
I have tried to put DMPlayerViewController view as a view in the collection view cell.
Whenever the list is populated,
playerViewController?.load(videoId: videoId, params: "{ \"autoplay\": false }", completion: nil) will be triggered for each cells.

Whenever the screen is loaded with the collection view cells, these are the logs produced with
Code:

public func player(_ player: DMPlayerViewController, didReceiveEvent event: PlayerEvent) {
        logger.log(message: "Player event \(event)", LoggingOption: .debug)
        switch event {
        case .timeEvent(name: let name, time: let time):
            logger.log(message: "Player event timeEvent \(name) time \(time)", LoggingOption: .debug)
        case .namedEvent(name: let name, data: let data):
            logger.log(message: "Player event namedEvent \(name) data \(data)", LoggingOption: .debug)
        case .errorEvent(error: let error):
            logger.log(message: "Player event errorEvent \(error)", LoggingOption: .debug)
        }
   }

Result:

I have a custom play pause button which will trigger
dmPlayerViewController.play() or dmPlayerViewController.pause()

Whenever I tapped on the play button, I always saw this error in the logs:
Player event namedEvent(name: "playback_resolution", data: Optional(["status": "rejected", "reason": "rejected_inactive_tab"]))
What could be the reason for this error?

In the documentation, embed multiple players only appears for web.
How can we do this for iOS?

Thanks

Is Swift 5 support planned ?

There is an issue with two videos playing simultaneously

When you navigate to the next video, the previous video continues to play in the background. The player stop method has already been called in the viewwilldisappear method. The player is still playing a video in the background.
