Aloe Mac Video Crate

Aloe Mac Video is a Rust crate providing a high-level interface for integrating video playback functionalities, especially designed for macOS and iOS platforms. The crate leverages native multimedia frameworks such as AVFoundation, interfacing through Objective-C, to harness the full potential of video rendering capabilities.

Features

• Cross-Platform Video Playback: Seamlessly supports video playback on macOS and iOS by switching between corresponding UIView and NSView components based on the platform.
• Asynchronous Asset Loading: Efficiently loads video assets asynchronously, ensuring non-blocking operations and smooth user experiences.
• Native Control Integration: Supports native playback controls for macOS environments, providing an intuitive user experience.
• Customizable Play Speed: Allows manipulation of playback speed, offering flexibility in media consumption.
• Observer-Based Notifications: Utilizes observer patterns to handle player status changes, availing robust media event handling.

Overview

The crate defines several key types and structures, such as AVPlayer, AVPlayerItem, NSView, and UIView, conditionally compiled to ensure compatibility across target platforms. The core player management logic resides in the PlayerController and PlayerAsyncInitialiser structs, catering to effective resource management and state tracking.

Main Components

• PlayerControllerBase: A foundational structure orchestrating player setup, status observation, and callback management.
• VideoComponentImpl: Handles the lifecycle and operations of video components, from loading to playback.
• Observers and Notification Handling: Aids in attaching and detaching observers for monitoring player states and responding to changes effectively.

Usage

To use Aloe Mac Video, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
aloe-mac-video = "0.1.0"

Example

extern crate aloe_mac_video;
use aloe_mac_video::{VideoComponentImpl, PlayerController};

fn main() {
    // Initialize your video component
    let mut video_component = VideoComponentImpl::new();
    // Load a video file
    video_component.load_file("path/to/video.mp4").unwrap();
    // Play the video
    video_component.play();
}
