UISlider to control AVAudioPlayer

Question

I am building a MP3 player for iOS that plays audio files hosted on the web. I want to offer the ability to play the files offline so I have the files downloading using ASIHTTP but I am cannot seem to find info on initiallzing AVPlayer with a mp3 in the app documents directory. Has anyone done this before? Is it even possible?

*I posted an answer below that shows how to use the iOS AvPlayer for both local and http files. Hope this helps!

Have you considered using the internal sqlite instead of the documents dir?

I decided to answer my own question because I felt like there is very little documentation on how to use the Apple provided AvPlayer for both local and stream (over http) files. To help understand the solution, I put together a sample project on GitHub.

What I found is that the to ways of setting up the files are almost identical except for how you instantiate your NSURL for the Asset > PlayerItem > AVPlayer chain.

Here is an outline of the core methods

.h file (partial code)

-(IBAction) BtnGoClick:(id)sender;
-(IBAction) BtnGoLocalClick:(id)sender;
-(IBAction) BtnPlay:(id)sender;
-(IBAction) BtnPause:(id)sender;
-(void) setupAVPlayerForURL: (NSURL*) url;

.m file (partial code)

-(IBAction) BtnGoClick:(id)sender {

    NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@""];

    [self setupAVPlayerForURL:url];
}

-(IBAction) BtnGoLocalClick:(id)sender {

    // - - - Pull media from documents direction

    //NSString* saveFileName = @"MyAudio.mp3";
    //NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    //NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    //NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:saveFileName];

    // - - -

    // - - - Pull media from resources direction

    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"MyAudio" ofType:@"mp3"];

    // - - -

    NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath: path];

    [self setupAVPlayerForURL:url];
}

-(void) setupAVPlayerForURL: (NSURL*) url {
    AVAsset *asset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:url options:nil];
    AVPlayerItem *anItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset:asset];

    player = [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:anItem];
    [player addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"status" options:0 context:nil];
}


- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context {

    if (object == player && [keyPath isEqualToString:@"status"]) {
        if (player.status == AVPlayerStatusFailed) {
            NSLog(@"AVPlayer Failed");
        } else if (player.status == AVPlayerStatusReadyToPlay) {
            NSLog(@"AVPlayer Ready to Play");
        } else if (player.status == AVPlayerItemStatusUnknown) {
            NSLog(@"AVPlayer Unknown");
        }
    }
}

-(IBAction) BtnPlay:(id)sender {
    [player play];
}

-(IBAction) BtnPause:(id)sender {
    [player pause];
}
