`playableOffline`

Determines if a complete rendition of an AVAsset is available to be played without a network connection.

@property (nonatomic, readonly) BOOL playableOffline

Return Value

Returns YES if this instance refers to an offline video playable from the device’s local storage without a network connection.

Returns NO if the video has not completed downloading, or if the video has been purged and needs to be re-downloaded. This happens automatically if iOS needs to reclaim storage space for proper functioning of the device.

On some versions of iOS playableOffline may return NO if the offline video is already loaded up in an instance of AVPlayer. Calling replaceCurrentItemWithPlayerItem on the current instance of AVPlayer with a nil value prior to checking should result in the expected value of TRUE being returned.

Discussion

Query this property before presenting or attempting to play an offline asset to determine if it’s available for use. A return value of true indicates a complete rendition of this asset is available for offline playback.

Reading this property is equivalent to reading the playableOffline property of the AVAssetCache of an AVAsset.
