Play audio songs from URL with AVAudioPlayer?

Question

I want to play audio song from a URL, I implemented it successfully with AVPlayer , but at some point it is not working fine.

Can we play an audio song from a URL with AVAudioPlayer ?

Which is better to play audio from a URL, providing all of the audio controls?

Answer 1

Sure you can.

Objective-C:

NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc]initWithString:@"your string"];
AVPlayerItem *item = [[AVPlayerItem alloc]initWithURL:url];
AVPlayer *player = [[AVPlayer alloc]initWithPlayerItem:item];
[player play];

Swift:

let url = NSURL(string: "yourURL")
let item = AVPlayerItem(URL: url)
let p = AVPlayer(playerItem: item)
p.play()
