🤘 Usage

Usage is pretty easy, just inherid your ViewController from VideoBackgroundViewController and set your initial video URL like:

import VideoBackgroundViewController

override func viewDidLoad() {
     super.viewDidLoad()

     let url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("spotifyVideo", ofType: "mp4")!)

     self.videoURL = url
 }

You can also customize the default values like:

import VideoBackgroundViewController

override func viewDidLoad() {
     super.viewDidLoad()

     let url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("spotifyVideo", ofType: "mp4")!)

     self.videoURL = url
     self.videoFrame = view.frame
     self.videoShouldLoop = true
     self.alpha = 0.5
     self.playSound = true
     self.videoScalingMode = .ResizeAspectFill
 }

TODO

• Protocolize the f*ck out of this
• Better code coverage
