UICollectionView scrollToItem not working when multiple cell visible on screen and cell size small iOS

29 views Asked by At

I have set up the UICollectionView with the DetailMediaCell XIB. If multiple answers are available, then a sub UICollectionView is shown, already set up in the XIB.

Everything works fine, but when we open the view controller and check if there's a video, it should start playing from the beginning. However, it always starts from the first index automatically.

Additionally, when the video finishes, I've set up the scrollToItem function, but it's not working in my case. I suspect it's due to the size of the cell, which prevents it from scrolling to the first index.

For more details, please refer to the attached screenshot and code.
