The reason video is not playing is only due the tls
version is too old in case of HTTP

I am trying to embed an AVPlayer inside a UIView and play a mp4 video file from an url. The problem is I only receive a black blank view (See screenshot)
In previous iOS versions it worked for me, but since upgrading to iOS9 i got this problem.
My .h file looks like this:
@interface ViewController : UIViewController @property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *viewPlayerContainer;
Whereas in my implementation file I have the following:
@import AVFoundation; @import AVKit; @interface ViewController () @end @implementation ViewController - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; AVPlayerViewController *playerViewController = [[AVPlayerViewController alloc] init]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4"]; AVURLAsset *asset = [AVURLAsset assetWithURL: url]; AVPlayerItem *item = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset: asset]; AVPlayer * player = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem: item]; [playerViewController.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, _viewPlayerContainer.bounds.size.width, _viewPlayerContainer.bounds.size.width)]; playerViewController.showsPlaybackControls = NO; [_viewPlayerContainer addSubview:playerViewController.view]; [player play]; }
Am i missing something here?
Thanks in advance!
