VGPlayer
A Swift-based iOS video player with gesture controls, subtitle support, media caching, and full-screen rotation.
What is VGPlayer?
VGPlayer is an open-source iOS video player library built with Swift and AVFoundation. It enables developers to integrate a feature-rich video player into their apps, supporting local and network playback, gesture-based controls, subtitles, and media caching. It solves the need for a customizable, native video player beyond Apple's basic AVPlayerViewController.
iOS developers building apps that require embedded video playback with custom UI, gesture controls, or advanced features like subtitle support and caching.
Developers choose VGPlayer for its simplicity, extensibility, and comprehensive feature set—including gesture controls, subtitle support, and caching—without the overhead of larger media frameworks. It’s a lightweight, Swift-native alternative to building a player from scratch.
