        return
    }
    
    guard let vid = video else {
        print("Invalid video object")
        return
    }
    
    print("Title = \(vid.title), url = \(vid.videoURL), thumbnail = \(vid.thumbnailURL)")
        
    if let videoURL = vid.videoURL[.Quality1080p] {
        let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
        let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
        playerController.player = player
        self.present(playerController, animated: true) {
            player.play()
        }
    }

    }
    
    print("Title = \(vid.title), url = \(vid.videoURL), thumbnail = \(vid.thumbnailURL)")
    
    if let videoURL = vid.videoURL[.quality1080p] {
        let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
        let playerController = AVPlayerViewController()
        playerController.player = player
