Answer 1

AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:"YOUR URL"];

// create a player view controller
AVPlayerViewController *controller = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
controller.player = player;
[player play];

hope this help for you.....

Answer 2

// remote file from server:
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/alf-proeysen/Bakvendtland-MASTER.mp4"];

// create a player view controller
player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:url];
AVPlayerViewController *controller = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc] init];

[self addChildViewController:controller];
[self.view addSubview:controller.view];

controller.view.frame = CGRectMake(50,50,500,300);
controller.player = player;
controller.showsPlaybackControls = YES;
player.closedCaptionDisplayEnabled = NO;
[player pause];
[player play];

This is all done in viewDidLoad and its working fine now. I made a subview to present the player.

The only thing that is not working now is player.closedCaptionDisplayEnabled = NO; this is ignored. The video has soft subtitles embedded, and I am able to toggle the subtitles with cc button that is showing. But I am not able to toggle it/control it programmatically?
