I am developing an app for iOS and I have constructed code to where once a cell in a table view is selected, it segues to an AVPlayerViewController and plays a local video clip depending on which cell row was selected. However when it segues to the AVPlayerViewController, the player appears but no video is played, why is this? I have even added a print statement to the didSelectAtRow function to make sure the correct video file is chosen. It should be noted the code works just fine until it comes time to actually play a video file (the player appears but just remains empty).
import UIKit
import AVKit
import AVFoundation
class DrillsViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
var initialRow = Int()
var arrayForKey2 = [[String]]()
var keyIndex = Int()
var headLabel = String()
var labels = Array(trainingDict.keys)
var playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
var player = AVPlayer()
var videoURL = [URL]()
var videoUrl = [URL]()
var drillVid = URL(fileURLWithPath: String())
var firstTips = ["Tip 1: Stay Hydrated", "Tip 1: Keep elbow tucked", "x", "Tip 1: Take quick breaks:", "Tip 1: Keep your head up", "Tip 1: Don't cross your feet", "Tip 1: Don't do more than 15 reps"]
