I wish to know if somebody can help in this problem.

I am working in one app to play hls streams.
The problem is that the mediaPlayerStateChanged event is fired but the event is allways 2.

This is the code I am using:

Code: Select all

class AVideoPlayerViewController: UIViewController, VLCMediaPlayerDelegate
{
.
.
.
	func mediaPlayerStateChanged(aNotification: NSNotification!)
	{
		let currentState: VLCMediaPlayerState  = mediaPlayer.state();
		
		switch(currentState)
		{
			case 2:
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> 2...");
				ActivityIndicator.stopAnimating();
				ActivityIndicator.hidden = true;
				break;
			
			case VLCMediaPlayerStateError:
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Error!");
				break;
			
			case VLCMediaPlayerStateEnded:
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Ended!");
				break;
			
			case VLCMediaPlayerStateStopped:
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Stopped!");
				break;
				
			case VLCMediaPlayerStateBuffering:
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Buffering...");
				ActivityIndicator.startAnimating();
				ActivityIndicator.hidden = false;
				break;
				
			case VLCMediaPlayerStateOpening:
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Opening...");
				break;
				
			case VLCMediaPlayerStatePaused:
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Paused...");
				break;
			
			case VLCMediaPlayerStatePlaying:
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Playing...");
				ActivityIndicator.stopAnimating();
				ActivityIndicator.hidden = true;
				break;
			
			default:
				break;
		}
		
		print("VLC STATE -> \(mediaPlayer.state())")
		
	}

As I said, the state wich is fired is allways 2 and the others are not being fired.

I have followed the code in the examples of vlckit (specially DropIn-Player).

Thanks for any help

In reality, it seem that the states are being fired but the playing state (VLCMediaPlayerStatePlaying).
I start to play the stream and get the bufferin state (VLCMediaPlayerStateBuffering).
If I pause the player I get the pause state (VLCMediaPlayerStatePaused).
After entering the pause, I get the playing state (VLCMediaPlayerStatePlaying), but this state is not being fired after the buffering one, when the stream start playing.

Because of this the ActivityIndicator is allways showing.

This is the code I am using:

Code: Select all

	
    override func viewDidLoad()
    {
		super.viewDidLoad();
		
		print("AVideoPlayerViewController -> viewDidLoad");
		
		ActivityIndicator.activityIndicatorViewStyle  = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyle.White;
		ActivityIndicator.center = view.center;
		ActivityIndicator.startAnimating();
		
		url = self.channelsingleton.url;
		print ("AVideoPlayerViewController URL: \(url)");
		
        //Add rotation observer
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(AVideoPlayerViewController.rotated), name: UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification, object: nil);
        
		MovieView.frame = UIScreen.screens()[0].bounds;
		
        //Add tap gesture to movieView
		let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(AVideoPlayerViewController.movieViewTapped(_:)));
		
		let gesture2 = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(AVideoPlayerViewController.movieViewTapped(_:)));
		
		self.MovieView.addGestureRecognizer(gesture);
		self.MainControls.addGestureRecognizer(gesture2);
		

		let media = VLCMedia(URL: url);
		mediaPlayer.setMedia(media);
		
		mediaPlayer.setDelegate(self);
		mediaPlayer.drawable = self.MovieView;
		mediaPlayer.play();
		
		self.timerPlayer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(4.0, target: self, selector: #selector(AVideoPlayerViewController.playertick), userInfo: nil, repeats: false);
    }
    
    .
    .
    .
    
    	
	func mediaPlayerStateChanged(aNotification: NSNotification!)
	{
		let currentState: VLCMediaPlayerState  = mediaPlayer.state();
		print("AVideoPlayerViewController -> mediaPlayerStateChanged - state: \(currentState)");
		
		switch(currentState)
		{
			case VLCMediaPlayerStateStopped:	//< Player has stopped
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Stopped!");
				break;

			case VLCMediaPlayerStateOpening:	//< Stream is opening
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Opening...");
				break;

			case VLCMediaPlayerStateBuffering:		//< Stream is buffering
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Buffering...");
				ActivityIndicator.startAnimating();
				ActivityIndicator.hidden = false;
				break;

			case VLCMediaPlayerStateEnded:		//< Stream has ended
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Ended!");
				break;
			
			case VLCMediaPlayerStateError:		//< Player has generated an error
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Error!");
				break;
			
			case VLCMediaPlayerStatePlaying:	//< Stream is playing
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Playing...");
				ActivityIndicator.stopAnimating();
				ActivityIndicator.hidden = true;
				break;
			
			case VLCMediaPlayerStatePaused:		//< Stream is paused
				print("mediaPlayerStateChanged -> Paused...");
				break;
			
			default:
				break;
		}
		
	}

The
Anybody has any idea?
