self.playerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:url];

You can map the duration of the file being played by the AVPlayer to the UISlider's range (maximum and minimum values) using the duration property of AVPlayer and make changes in the slider position to set the currentTime of the AVPlayer. – poojathorat Aug 17 '15 at 06:28
do you have some sample code or may be a link for that – TechChain Aug 17 '15 at 06:30

Try use AVAudioPlayer, see below

NSString *aSongURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://megdadhashem.wapego.ru/files/56727/tubidy_mp3_e2afc5.mp3"];
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:aSongURL] error:nil];

[audioPlayer play];

Hope it works.

Cheers.
