your link is to flash video, not to some video supported by AVPlayer.

and how i can get the video supported by AVPlayer ?? – devzaid Jun 29 '16 at 23:11
from your link? there is no way. To see what kind of video is supported by AVPlayer I suggest you to check apple documentation or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21879981/avfoundation-avplayer-supported-formats-no-vob-or-mpg-containers – user3441734 Jun 30 '16 at 07:57
