SKVideoNode frame rate
<p>Basically SKVideoNode will not respect AVPlayer's rate.</p>

<p>By default, SKVideoNode has no way of controlling playback rate. However, the SKVideoNode can be initialized with an AVPlayer (which itself contains an AVPlayerItem). This AVPlayer has a property rate which can vary from 0 to 2 (1 is normal speed). There is also the method setRate:time:atHostTime:.</p>

<p>So the rate doesn't work. Have you had the same problem?.
If there is no way to resolve this? is there another way to play a video and change the frame rate in a SKScene?</p>

<pre><code>func setupVideo() {
    // play video
    let urlStr = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("sample", ofType: "mp4")
    let url = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: urlStr!)

    player = AVPlayer(URL: url)

    videoNode = SKVideoNode(AVPlayer: player!)
    videoNode?.position = CGPointMake(frame.size.width/2, frame.size.height/2)
    videoNode?.size = CGSize(width: frame.size.width, height: frame.size.height)
    videoNode?.zPosition = 1
    addChild(videoNode!)

    player!.rate = 0.25
    videoNode!.play()


}
</code></pre>

<p>It doesn't matter where I add player!.rate = 0.25, it never changes.</p>
