Try this, written in Swift 3.0,

let fm = FileManager.default
let docsurl = try! fm.url(for:.documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: false)
let path = docsurl.appendingPathComponent("myvideo.mp4")
playVideo(filePath: path)

func playVideo(filePath:String)
{
    var playerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)
    var player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)
    var playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
    playerLayer.frame = self.view.frame
    self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
    player.play()

}
