AVKit Video Player not working

Hey. I am trying to create a present view with a bunch of media (images/videos). Right now I am using a ZStack to render each media and change opacity based on the index selected using a scrollView. The issue seems to be that sometimes, videos don't seem to load in the main slide. There is a slide created as the video exists, the Player shows controls too but doesn't play anything.

Present View Z-Stack

ZStack { ForEach(presentation.slides.indices, id: .self) { index in if let media = mediaCacheManager.mediaCache[index] { if let player = media as? AVPlayer { PlayerView(player: player) .aspectRatio(16/10, contentMode: .fit ) .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.8) .background(Color.gray.opacity(0.2)) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40)) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40) .stroke(Color.gray.opacity(0.5), lineWidth: 1) ) .onDisappear { player.pause() } .opacity(appModel.currentSlide == index ? 1 : 0) } else if let image = media as? Image { image .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.8) .background(Color.gray.opacity(0.2)) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40)) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40) .stroke(Color.gray.opacity(0.5), lineWidth: 1) ) .padding(.vertical, 10) .opacity(appModel.currentSlide == index ? 1 : 0) } } } }

The PlayerView

public class PlayerUIView: UIView { let playerVC = AVPlayerViewController() let gravity: AVLayerVideoGravity let manageAudio: Bool

override init(frame: CGRect) {
    self.gravity = .resizeAspectFill
    self.manageAudio = true
    super.init(frame: frame)
}

deinit {
    if manageAudio {
        try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(false)
    }
}

init(player: AVPlayer?, gravity: AVLayerVideoGravity, manageAudio: Bool = true) {
    self.gravity = gravity
    self.manageAudio = manageAudio
    super.init(frame: .zero)
    guard let player = player else { return }
    self.playerSetup(player: player)
}

required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
    fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}

public override func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()
    playerVC.view.frame = bounds
    playerVC.view.backgroundColor = .clear
    playerVC.allowsVideoFrameAnalysis = false
}

private func playerSetup(player: AVPlayer) {
    playerVC.updatesNowPlayingInfoCenter = true
    playerVC.player = player
    playerVC.showsPlaybackControls = true
    playerVC.view.backgroundColor = .clear
    playerVC.exitsFullScreenWhenPlaybackEnds = true
    playerVC.videoGravity = gravity
    self.addSubview(playerVC.view)
}

}
