Me and my team are stuck on an issue for a few days now.

We have AVPlayer which plays AVPlayerItem with a custom AVVideoComposition.

player.currentItem?.videoComposition = getUpdatedVideoComisition()

The user can decide if to remove or keep the composition. I'm trying to remove the composition by calling

player.currentItem?.videoComposition = nil

But in an unexpected way even when assigning nil to the videoComposition property, it's keep on playing with the same composition.

How can we remove the AVVideoComposition without switching AVPlayerItem?

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Roi and the team

It seems like you will have to switch AVPlayerItem. Why do you want to avoid doing so? – Thanh Pham Jul 02 '18 at 07:05
@ThanhPham It generate the UI to flicker a lot more than just switching AVPlayerItem.. But I think that's the way to go – Roi Mulia Jul 02 '18 at 09:30
