Playing continuous audio in Iphone

Question

I have this piece of code for playing audio, but once it is finished, I want to play the same audio again and again, I think I should use numberofloops=-1, but where I need to use this directly. Please help me.

#import "JetNapMusicPlayer.h"
    #import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

    @interface JetNapMusicPlayer()
    @property(nonatomic,strong) AVQueuePlayer *avQueuePlayer;
    @end

        }
        return sharedManager;
    }
    - (id)init {
        if (self = [super init]) {
    //        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];

            MPRemoteCommandCenter *rcc = [MPRemoteCommandCenter sharedCommandCenter];

Answer 1

To loop a song use below code after alloc init of avSongItem.

 avSongItem.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionAtItemEndNone;

More info : Looping a video with AVFoundation AVPlayer?

Also as mentioned in the link use notification.

avSongItem.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionAtItemEndNone;

  [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                       selector:@selector(playerItemDidReachEnd:)
                                           name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification
                                         object:[avPlayer currentItem]];

this will prevent the player to pause at the end.

in the notification:

 - (void)playerItemDidReachEnd:(NSNotification *)notification {
AVPlayerItem *p = [notification object];
[p seekToTime:kCMTimeZero];
}
