adding timer to mpmovieplayerviewcontroller

Question

I am using MPMoviePlayerViewController for playing the sound and video. I am streaming the song from the url. It is working fine.But the problem is, MPMoviePlayerViewController is not showing the time progress for the song I playing. That bar is disabled. How to make the time progress bar active? I have following code to play the song.

    mediaPlayerController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:songUrl];
    [self presentModalViewController:mediaPlayerController animated:YES];
    [[mediaPlayerController moviePlayer] play];

enter image description here

i think bar is not disabled. it takes time to load song (buffering the data) — Paresh Navadiya, Aug 28 '12 at 05:45
@Prince:No it is not showing the timer throughout the song.If i have duration of the song then can i put that into the slider? — V-Xtreme, Aug 28 '12 at 06:03

If you want to show the current progress time on your own custom way, you can show it by using the currentPlaybackTime property in the MPMediaPlayback protocol gives you that info.

U use AVPlayer for playing live streaming. Refer this link.

Also refer StitchedStreamPlayer link sample code by apple.

Set controlStyle for mediaPlayerController:

  [mediaPlayerController moviePlayer].controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyleFullscreen
