AVPlayer Reverse Playback

Question

How would one go about getting an AVPlayer object to play its video content in reverse? The AVPlayerItem class has a property called "reversePlaybackEndTime," which makes me think that reverse playback is thus possible, but I can't seem to find anything in the docs about actually doing it.

Answer 1

You can reverse play like this as queuePlayer is AVPlayer:

Firstly get to end of video

CMTime durTime = self.queuePlayer.currentItem.asset.duration;
durationTime = CMTimeGetSeconds(durTime);
//NSLog(@"durationTime :%f : %f",durTime);
if (CMTIME_IS_VALID(durTime))
    [self.queuePlayer seekToTime:durTime toleranceBefore:kCMTimeZero toleranceAfter:kCMTimeZero];
else
    NSLog(@"In valid time");

Now set Rate of AVPlayer to negative value

[self.queuePlayer setRate:-1];
