An elegant wrapper API for AVPlayer that provides event handling via delegates instead of KVO.
PlayerView is a Swift library that provides a delegate-based wrapper around Apple's AVPlayer for iOS development. It simplifies video playback implementation by replacing the traditional Key-Value Observing (KVO) approach with cleaner delegate methods, making it easier to handle player events, controls, and status updates.
iOS developers building apps that require video playback functionality, particularly those who want to avoid the complexity and boilerplate of AVPlayer's KVO system.
Developers choose PlayerView because it offers a more intuitive and maintainable alternative to AVPlayer's KVO, reducing common pitfalls and providing a straightforward API for common video playback tasks.

Replaces AVPlayer's KVO with optional delegate methods, reducing boilerplate and improving code readability, as shown in the delegate examples for status and time updates.
Provides straightforward methods for play, pause, stop, and speed control with direct property access like `playerVideo.rate`, eliminating manual KVO setup.
Supports adding multiple video URLs to a playback queue via `addVideosOnQueue`, enabling basic playlist functionality without custom logic.
Allows taking screenshots at specific times or the current position using `screenshotTime()` and `screenshot()` methods, useful for media previews.
Lacks advanced video player features such as DRM support, subtitle handling, or custom UI components, relying solely on AVPlayer's basic capabilities.
Tightly coupled to Apple's AVPlayer and iOS platform, making it unsuitable for cross-platform projects and inheriting any AVPlayer limitations or bugs.
The README has typos and sparse examples, like repeated installation sections and minimal error handling guidance, which could hinder adoption.
