I've been looking through the AVPlayerItem and AVPlayer docs and there doesn't seem to be any callbacks for when the item is finished playing. I was hoping that there would be some sort of delegate callback that we can utilize or that AVPlayerActionAtItemEnd would provide a custom action for us to write.
How can i figure out a way to detect when AVPlayer has finished playing an item?

If you want to check the status of a played video - one of the best solutions is to add an observer to the AVPlayer item . The AVPlayerViewController doesn't notify about the ending of a video. This is why you need to check it by yourself. You should add the NotificationCenter observer to your playVideo() method.
AVPlayer does not have a method named stop . You can pause or set rate to 0.0. Show activity on this post. I usually seekToTime 0.0, then pause.
It uses NSNotification to alert when playback is finished.
Register for the notification:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(itemDidFinishPlaying:) name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification object:playerItem]; Method to call when done:
-(void)itemDidFinishPlaying:(NSNotification *) notification { // Will be called when AVPlayer finishes playing playerItem } If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
