    Usage

    PLPlayerKit offers a simple and intuitive API for playing live or on-demand video streams.

    Here are some common use-cases:

    Playing a Video Stream

    To play a live or on-demand video stream, instantiate a PLPlayer object with the stream URL and call the play method.

    PLPlayer *player = [PLPlayer playerWithURL:yourStreamURL];
[player play];

    Customizing UI Components

    PLPlayerKit provides a set of UI components that can be customized to match the look and feel of your application.

    For example, to customize the play button, use the following code:

    // Get the default play button
UIButton *playButton = player.controlPanel.playButton;

// Customize the button appearance
playButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
playButton.layer.cornerRadius = 8.0;

    Handling Player Events

    PLPlayerKit provides delegate methods to handle player events such as playback state changes, buffering, and errors.

    To receive player events, implement the PLPlayerDelegate protocol in your class:

    @interface YourViewController () <PLPlayerDelegate>

// Rest of your code

@end

    Then, implement the required delegate methods:

    - (void)player:(PLPlayer *)player statusDidChange:(PLPlayerStatus)state {
    // Handle playback state changes
}

- (void)player:(PLPlayer *)player stoppedWithError:(NSError *)error {
    // Handle errors
}

// Implement other delegate methods as needed
// ...
@end
