How to get current duration ? Thx for support

Thx for support. :)

@paneaktae Are you asking for the current time of the player (ie. "3 seconds into 10 second video") or total duration of the video (ie "10 seconds")?

I could use access to both. Having access to AVPlayerItem's duration and AVPlayer's currentTime would be ideal to construct a progress bar or seeking actions.

@ataranlen I believe you can currently get those values by retrieving the AVPlayerItem with videoPlayerController.view.player, right?

[ataranlen]

You cannot, as both the player and playerItem aren't accessible outside the scope of the pod.

@ataranlen Yes, they are. This worked for me just now in a test project:

#import <PBJVideoPlayer/PBJVideoPlayer.h>

…
AVPlayer *player = [(PBJVideoView *)videoPlayerController.view player];
AVPlayerItem *playerItem = player.currentItem;
NSLog(@"duration: %@, currentTime: %@", CMTimeCopyDescription(NULL, playerItem.duration), CMTimeCopyDescription(NULL, playerItem.currentTime));
…

Ah wasn't thinking about casting it. @paneaktae You should be able to use the above to get the duration.
