    While playing remote files, you are supposed to make use of KVO to get notified for changes in player status. You should then be able to tell whether the playback has failed or not.

Swift 3.0 Translation of Objective-C Answer



    let videoURL: URL = URL(string: contentURLString)!

let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
self.playerController = playerViewController
self.playerController.player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
self.present(self.playerController, animated: true) {
self.playerController.player?.play()
}

    For using AVPlayer with remote file, create a sample project and add the following lines in the viewDidLoad() of the ViewController.



    NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL URLWithString:contentURLString];

    //Use AVPlayerViewController to use default Apple Controls
    AVPlayerViewController *playerViewController = [AVPlayerViewController new];
    self.playerController = playerViewController;
    self.playerController.player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:videoURL];
    [self presentViewController:self.playerController animated:YES completion:^{
    //Start Playback
    [self.playerController.player play];
    }];

      I had the same symptoms, I tried playing a sample video from URL.



      However I got an empty Player view, but the video was not playing.
      There was no error message when testing on a device, but when testing on simulator I got the following message:




      The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.




      So the problem was basically the HTTP-Protocol.



      Solution A: Use a video source with https.



      Solution B: Change the App Transport Security policies in your info-file (as described in this topic)

                          The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection.




                          So the problem was basically the HTTP-Protocol.



                          Solution A: Use a video source with https.



                          Solution B: Change the App Transport Security policies in your info-file (as described in this topic)

                            I had the same symptoms, I tried playing a sample video from URL.



                            However I got an empty Player view, but the video was not playing.
                            There was no error message when testing on a device, but when testing on simulator I got the following message:
