Answer 1

Simplest solution in swift 3 Add this to your app delegate:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsFor window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask {
    if window == self.window {
        return .portrait
    } else {
        return .allButUpsideDown
    }
}

I've done this in on of my app. To do this you need to check that is your viewcontroller that where you want to play a video.

• The first thing you have to do is check Device Orientation to Portrait,Landscape left, Landscape right in your project target

• In your AppDelegate do the below code

  -(NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window{
  
      UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard;
      if (IS_IPHONE) {
          mainStoryboard= [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main" bundle: nil];
      }
      else{
         mainStoryboard= [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Main_iPad" bundle: nil];
      }
  
      ViewControllerThatPlaysVideo *currentViewController=    ViewControllerThatPlaysVideo*)[mainStoryboard     instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"postDetailView"];
      if(navigationController.visibleViewController isKindOfClass:    [ViewControllerThatPlaysVideo class]]){
         if([currentViewController playerState])
              return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape|UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
         return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
      }
      return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
  }
