SwiftUI loop video player

Settings

Name	Description	Default
SourceName	The URL or local filename of the video. If a valid URL (http or https) is provided, the video will be streamed from the URL. If not a URL, the system will check if a video with the given name exists in the local bundle. The local name provided can either include an extension or be without one. The system first checks if the local name contains an extension. If the local name includes an extension, it extracts this extension and uses it as the default. If the local name does not contain an extension, the system assigns a default extension of .mp4 The default file extension can be set up via Ext param.	-
Ext	File extension for the video, used when loading from local resources. This is optional when a URL is provided and the URL ends with the video file extension.	"mp4"
Gravity	How the video content should be resized to fit the player's bounds.	.resizeAspect
EColor	Error message text color.	.red
EFontSize	Size of the error text.	17.0

New Functionality: Remote Video URLs

Video Source Compatibility

Video Source	Possible to Use	Comments
YouTube	No	Violates YouTube's policy as it doesn't allow direct video streaming outside its platform.
Direct MP4 URLs	Yes	Directly accessible MP4 URLs can be used if they are hosted on servers that permit CORS.
HLS Streams	Yes	HLS streams are supported and can be used for live streaming purposes.

Disclaimer on Video Sources

Please note that using videos from URLs requires ensuring that you have the right to use and stream these videos. Videos hosted on platforms like YouTube cannot be used directly due to restrictions in their terms of service. Always ensure the video URL is compliant with copyright laws and platform policies.

Practical idea for the package

You can introduce video hints about some functionality into the app, for example how to add positions to favorites. Put loop video hint into background or open as popup.
