AVPlayer Stream status

Question

I am using this methods for playing video with AVPlayer:

        audioPlayer = [[AVPlayer playerWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]] retain];
        avPlayerLayer = [[AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:audioPlayer] retain];
        [avPlayerLayer setFrame:self.view.bounds];

        [audioPlayer play];

I search for a way to get notification every-time in the stream process (something like 1%,10%,25%,50%,60%......), can i get something like this from AVPlayer ??

Take a look at the documentation, you need to implement this method:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/AVFoundation/Reference/AVPlayer_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/AVPlayer/addPeriodicTimeObserverForInterval:queue:usingBlock :

An example:

[mPlayer addPeriodicTimeObserverForInterval:CMTimeMake(1, 1)
         queue:NULL
         usingBlock:^(CMTime time){
             NSLog(@"%lld %d ",mPlayer.currentTime.value,mPlayer.currentTime.timescale);
         }
];

To get the total time of the video you can do:

mPlayer.currentItem.duration

As well you can get the currentTime from the item:

mPlayer.currentItem.currentTime

Edit :

take a look at CurrentItem reference

you probably want some method like:

loadedTimeRanges
