To get the AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification your object needs to be an AVPlayerItem.

To do so, just use the .currentItem property on your AVPlayer

Now you will get a notification once the video ends!

See my example:

let videoPlayer = AVPlayer(URL: url)


NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "playerDidFinishPlaying:",
name: AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification, object: videoPlayer.currentItem)


func playerDidFinishPlaying(note: NSNotification) {
print("Video Finished")
}

Swift 3

let videoPlayer = AVPlayer(URL: url)


NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: Selector(("playerDidFinishPlaying:")),
name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: videoPlayer.currentItem)
    

func playerDidFinishPlaying(note: NSNotification) {
print("Video Finished")
}

Don't forget to remove the Observer in your deinit

Swift 4, 5

NotificationCenter.default
.addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(playerDidFinishPlaying),
name: .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime,
object: videoPlayer.currentItem
)

Swift 3.0

let videoPlayer = AVPlayer(URL: url)


NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector:#selector(self.playerDidFinishPlaying(note:)),name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: player.currentItem)


@objc func playerDidFinishPlaying(note: NSNotification){
print("Video Finished")
}

Swift 3.0

let videoPlayer = AVPlayer(URL: url)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector:#selector(self.playerDidFinishPlaying(note:)),name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: player.currentItem)


func playerDidFinishPlaying(note: NSNotification){
//Called when player finished playing
}

For SWIFT 3.0

Here 'fullUrl' is the URL of the video and make sure that there would be no space in the URL, You should replace 'Space' with '%20' so that URL will work file.

  let videoURL = NSURL(string: fullUrl)
let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL! as URL)


playerViewController.delegate = self
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: false) {


self.playerViewController.player!.play()


NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(yourViewControllerName.playerDidFinishPlaying), name: Notification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: self.player?.currentItem)
}

Add this below given method in your view controller.

func playerDidFinishPlaying(){
print("Video Finished playing in style")
}

For SWIFT 3.0 This is working fine

class PlayVideoViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()


NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(PlayVideoViewController.finishVideo), name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification, object: nil)
}


func finishVideo()
{
print("Video Finished")
}
}

In Swift 3 and RxSwift 3.5 all you have to do is:

override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()


NotificationCenter.default.rx.notification(Notification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime)
.asObservable().subscribe(onNext: { [weak self] notification in


//Your action


}).addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
}

I know there are a lot of accepted answers here...

But, another route might be to add a boundary time observer to your AVPlayer. You would have to have the duration of the video, which you can get from your player.currentItem, and then add it as your desired time boundary.

fileprivate var videoEndObserver: Any?


func addVideoEndObserver() {
guard let player = YOUR_VIDEO_PLAYER else { return }


// This is just in case you are loading a video from a URL.
guard let duration = player.currentItem?.duration, duration.value != 0 else {
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5, execute: { [weak self] in
self?.addVideoEndObserver()
})


return
}


let endTime = NSValue(time: duration - CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(0.1, duration.timescale))
videoEndObserver = player.addBoundaryTimeObserver(forTimes: [endTime], queue: .main, using: {
self.removeVideoEndObserver()


// DO YOUR STUFF HERE...
})
}


func removeVideoEndObserver() {
guard let observer = videoEndObserver else { return }


videoPlayer.player?.removeTimeObserver(observer)
videoEndObserver = nil
}

Swift 4.0

This one works for me. Thanks to @Channel

    private func playVideo(fileURL: String) {


// Create RUL object
let url = URL(string: fileURL)


// Create Player Item object
let playerItem: AVPlayerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: url!)
// Assign Item to Player
let player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)


// Prepare AVPlayerViewController
let videoPlayer = AVPlayerViewController()
// Assign Video to AVPlayerViewController
videoPlayer.player = player


NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(myViewController.finishVideo), name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: nil)


// Present the AVPlayerViewController
present(videoPlayer, animated: true, completion: {
// Play the Video
player.play()
})


}


@objc func finishVideo()
{
print("Video Finished")
}

Swift 4.2 Version:

var player: AVPlayer!
//
//
// Configure Player
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)


let filepath: String? = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "selectedFileName", ofType: "mp4")
if let filepath = filepath {
let fileURL = URL.init(fileURLWithPath: filepath)
player = AVPlayer(url: fileURL)
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
// Register for notification
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(playerItemDidReachEnd),
name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime,
object: nil) // Add observer


playerLayer.frame = self.view.bounds
self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
player.play()
}
}
// Notification Handling
@objc func playerItemDidReachEnd(notification: NSNotification) {
player.seek(to: CMTime.zero)
player.play()
}
// Remove Observer
deinit {
NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self)
}

It's really this simple

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
self,
selector: #selector(fileComplete),
name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime,
object: nil
)

(It's fine for the object to be nil.)

and then

@objc func fileComplete() {
print("IT'S DONE!")
}

If you fancy using Combine:

private var cancelBag: Set<AnyCancellable> = []


NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime)
.sink { _ in
player.seek(to: CMTime.zero)
player.play()
}
.store(in: &cancelBag)

Using Combine, and also making sure the notification comes from the AVPlayerItem you are interested in and not just any. I am playing multiple items at once, so this would work in that scenario as well.

private var subscriptions: Set<AnyCancellable> = []


NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: player.currentItem)
.receive(on: RunLoop.main)
.sink { [weak self] notification in
guard let item = notification.object as? AVPlayerItem else { return }
if item == self?.player.currentItem {
//.... Here you know it was the item you are interested in that played to end and not just any
}
}
.store(in: &subscriptions)

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: nil, queue: .main) { noti in
guard let item = noti.object as? AVPlayerItem else{
return
}
//DidPlayToEndTime
}

func shareEditedVedio() -> AVPlayer {
let editedVedioPlayer = AVPlayer(url: self.vedioData.vedioURLWithAddedSounds!)
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector:#selector(self.playerDidFinishPlaying(note:)),name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: editedVedioPlayer.currentItem)
return editedVedioPlayer
}




@objc func playerDidFinishPlaying(note: NSNotification){
//Called when player finished playing
}

I had an issue with the Notification never getting called, setting the notification inside the presentation of the AVPlayerViewController solved it for me:

func presentVideo(url:URL) {
let player = AVPlayer(url: url)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
        

self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
playerViewController.player!.play()
//NOTE: The notification must be created here for it to work as expected
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.videoDidEnd), name: NSNotification.Name.AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime, object: nil)
}
}
}

SWIFT 5 Update

The observer method with @objc function is not native. It is better to use event publisher in swift 5. Very simple.

Declare the following in the struct:

var pub = NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: .AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTime)

Then on any view, add

.onReceive(pub) { (output) in
print("Video Finished")
}

Another solution:

player.observe(\AVPlayer.actionAtItemEnd) { player, _ in
print("video did end")
}
