ACRObservingPlayerItem
=======================

Introduction
———————–
ACRObservingPlayerItem is a lightweight Objective-C library that simplifies observing properties of the AVPlayerItem class. It provides a convenient way to observe changes in properties such as duration, status, playbackLikelyToKeepUp, and more. This library is useful for developers working with audio or video playback.

Features
———————–
– Simplified observation of AVPlayerItem properties.
– No need to add observer blocks manually.
– Handles observation automatically.
– Supports properties such as duration, status, presentationSize, playbackLikelyToKeepUp, and more.

Installation
———————–
You can install ACRObservingPlayerItem either manually or by using CocoaPods.

Manual Installation
———————–
1. Download the latest version of ACRObservingPlayerItem from the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/your-username/acrobservingplayeritem).
2. Copy the ACRObservingPlayerItem folder into your Xcode project.

Installation via CocoaPods
———————–
1. Add the following line to your Podfile:
“`
pod ‘ACRObservingPlayerItem’, :git => ‘https://github.com/your-username/acrobservingplayeritem.git’
“`
2. Run the command `pod install` to integrate the ACRObservingPlayerItem library into your Xcode workspace.

Usage
———————–

To get started with ACRObservingPlayerItem, follow these steps:

1. Import the ACRObservingPlayerItem header into your file:
“`objective-c
#import “ACRObservingPlayerItem.h”
“`

2. Create an instance of ACRObservingPlayerItem by passing an instance of AVPlayerItem:
“`objective-c
AVPlayerItem *playerItem = [[AVPlayerItem alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@”your-media-url”]];
ACRObservingPlayerItem *observingPlayerItem = [[ACRObservingPlayerItem alloc] initWithPlayerItem:playerItem];
“`

3. Add your observer blocks to the desired properties:
“`objective-c
[observingPlayerItem addObservationBlockForKeyPath:@”status” block:^(AVPlayerItem * _Nonnull playerItem, NSDictionary * _Nonnull change) {
// Handle property change here
}];
“`

4. Remove the observer blocks using the following method when required:
“`objective-c
[observingPlayerItem removeObservationBlocksForKeyPath:@”status”];
“`

5. Finally, use the AVPlayerItem as usual in your AVPlayer setup.

Example
———————–
Here’s a simple example to observe the status property of an AVPlayerItem:

“`objective-c
#import “ACRObservingPlayerItem.h”

AVPlayerItem *playerItem = [[AVPlayerItem alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@”your-media-url”]];
ACRObservingPlayerItem *observingPlayerItem = [[ACRObservingPlayerItem alloc] initWithPlayerItem:playerItem];

[observingPlayerItem addObservationBlockForKeyPath:@”status” block:^(AVPlayerItem * _Nonnull playerItem, NSDictionary * _Nonnull change) {
AVPlayerItemStatus status = [change[NSKeyValueChangeNewKey] integerValue];

switch (status) {
case AVPlayerItemStatusUnknown:
NSLog(@”Status: Unknown”);
break;

case AVPlayerItemStatusReadyToPlay:
NSLog(@”Status: Ready to play”);
break;

case AVPlayerItemStatusFailed:
NSLog(@”Status: Failed”);
break;
}
}];
“`
