Question 1

How to customize the control view in ZFPlayer?

Accepted Answer

Create a UIView that conforms to the ZFPlayerMediaControl protocol, implement required methods for play/pause etc., and set it as the controlView on ZFPlayerController for full design control.

Question 2

ZFPlayer vs AVPlayer: which is better for my app?

Accepted Answer

Use AVPlayer directly for simple, single-player needs; choose ZFPlayer if you require flexibility across multiple player SDKs or need to build a custom UI without being tied to AVPlayer's default controls.

Question 3

Does ZFPlayer support live streaming videos?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by integrating player SDKs like ijkplayer or VLC that support streaming protocols through the ZFPlayerMediaPlayback protocol, though you may need additional configuration for optimal performance.

Question 4

Can I use ZFPlayer with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

Not directly; ZFPlayer is UIKit-based, so you must wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable for SwiftUI integration, which adds complexity and may limit some native SwiftUI features.

Question 5

How to handle screen rotation in ZFPlayer?

Accepted Answer

ZFPlayer has built-in rotation adaptation; configure orientation options in ZFPlayerController to automatically handle full-screen transitions and landscape modes.

Question 6

What's the difference between ZFPlayer and SJVideoPlayer?

Accepted Answer

Both are iOS video players, but ZFPlayer focuses on protocol-based extensibility for multiple SDKs and custom UIs, while SJVideoPlayer might offer more pre-built features; evaluate based on your need for flexibility vs. ready-to-use components.
