I also faced the same issue, and after searching for hours, I was able to find the answer to this. After you have downloaded the video, you will have to use this code to play the downloaded file.

let baseUrl = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first!

let assetUrl = baseUrl.appendingPathComponent("MyFileSaveName.mp4")
let avAsset = AVAsset(url: assetUrl)  // This is important
let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: avAssest)
let player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)
let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
playerViewController.player = player
self.present(playerViewController, animated: true, completion: {
    player.play()
})
