Discussion: An easy way to customize control UI

[BrikerMan]

I created BMPlayerCustomControlView to allow users to customize UI easily, but it makes thing worse.
I am planning to refactor the whole player to allow the user easily customize the control UI. There are several ideas:

1. create a BMPlayerControlView and allow the user to subclass and change the Auto-layout and icon images to customize UI.
2. use the BMPlayerCustomControlView to customize and simplify the protocol.

[benbahrenburg]

I heavily use the BMPlayerCustomControlView. I think allowing for a subclass would provide the most flexibility. Do you have any timing on when you will be making these changes?

[BrikerMan]

@benbahrenburg I am already working on it, and planning to finish by tomorrow if I can. But this will break your code. I chose the second option to create a control view which allows user to subclass and change rather than protocol with message variable and function. Is that ok with you? And I have already add a subtitle function that allows user to show their str subtile with the video.

[benbahrenburg]

@BrikerMan sounds good. Will the default implementation use the same protocol? Figured provides the best documentation as we can just look at the default implementation to see how to implement our own.

[BrikerMan]

Yes, will provide document and Example~

@Owl7 @benbahrenburg Try the latest commit and the example. This is custom example BMPlayerCustomControlView.

[BrikerMan]

@csauvage Check the Custom Control UI 2. Just committed.

[benbahrenburg]

@BrikerMan works perfectly. Thanks for doing this.

[BrikerMan]

@benbahrenburg could you help me submit BMPlayer to https://github.com/matteocrippa/awesome-swift?

[benbahrenburg]

@BrikerMan ok, will do tomorrow

[benbahrenburg]

@BrikerMan can you do me a favor and slightly update the project description. The awesome swift list has a requirement that the project description doesn't say "Description does not say "written in Swift" or variant "

I would suggest "A video player for iOS, based on AVPlayer, support the horizontal, vertical screen. support adjust volume, brigtness and seek by slide."

[BrikerMan]

@benbahrenburg ok~
