Video is not actually getting cached?

[ajkerfaisal]

I have no problem playing the video using this code

let url = URL(string: "i_am_super_duper_url_for_a_mp4_file")!
let playerItem = CachingPlayerItem(url: url)
player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)
player.automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling = false
player.play()

Let's say I have opened the app and played the whole video once. Then I close the app and reopen it without any wifi and mobile data. And the video is not getting played. I confirm I tested this in a real device and not a simulator.

I get this in the console: NSLocalizedDescription=The Internet connection appears to be offline. I also tried and no success CachingPlayerItem(url: url, customFileExtension: "mp4")

Please let me know if I misunderstood CachingPlayerItem or missed anything.

Please check https://github.com/neekeetab/CachingPlayerItem/issues/29#issuecomment-578122754 and #10.

CachingPlayerItem only gives convenient delegate access to player data, it doesn't do any of saving/caching/reusing.
