## What it is
BMPlayer is a Swift video player library for iOS built on top of AVPlayer. It supports horizontal and vertical playback, gesture-based volume/brightness/seek controls, multi-definition videos, custom playback rates, and local or online subtitles.

## Use cases
- play video files in an iOS app
- add a video player with swipe gestures for volume and brightness
- show subtitles while playing video in Swift
- play online video URLs with custom HTTP headers
- support landscape and portrait video playback
- let users change playback speed in an iOS player
- embed a customizable AVPlayer-based player via CocoaPods

## When to choose
- you need a ready-made Swift video player UI on top of AVPlayer for iOS
- you want gesture controls (brightness, volume, seek) and subtitle support out of the box
- you need multi-definition video switching and custom play rates
- you want a library installable via CocoaPods, Carthage, or Swift Package Manager

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform player for Android or web
- you require advanced DRM or streaming protocols beyond AVPlayer's capabilities
- you need actively developed features - the project is mostly in maintenance mode
- you need robust video caching - that support is experimental via VIMediaCache
