AVPlayer smooth transition between videos

I have a video player, that plays video url's parsed from json file. Everything works fine, except there is no smooth transition between the videos. I made the back-ground black (as recommended in one of the stack answers) but still don't like the short flash in-between.

Is there a way to fix this with a fade-in / fade - out for swift? I tried to implement AVQueuePlayer but I don't understand how to implement it in my code and don't understand how it works.

Please if any one knows a solution for smooth transition that would be great. The same questions asked on stack are either never answered or contain really old answers/solutions.

EDIT: My video is being played through the AVPlayerViewController. The video URL is for a mp4 video.

You can fade out the player view, change the video, and then fade in the player view.

UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.1, animations: {
    self.playerView.alpha = 0
}, completion: { _ in
    self.playerView.loadUrl...// Update video

    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.1) {
        self.playerView.alpha = 1
    }
})
