Getting Duration of AVPlayer in minutes

Question

I am trying to get the duration of an AVPlayer asset in Hours, Minutes, Seconds. I am able to get the time but it seems to be in seconds and milliseconds.

This is how I get the time:

let duration : CMTime = (player.currentItem!.asset.duration)!
let seconds : Float64 = CMTimeGetSeconds(duration)

I am then applying that to a slider using

slider.maximumValue = Float(seconds)

The outcome of this obviously gives me the duration in seconds however I want to be able to use the duration to set the maximumValue of my slider for video clips which may be under a minute.

For Example: My code above returns 30.865 for a 30 second clip. I need it to return 0.30

Yes, currently the slider for a 0.30 video take 30 minutes to reach the end — elevate, Jun 12 '19 at 04:43
30 is just an example. a 5 minute clip sets the slider at 306.87323. I need to know how to set the slider to match my clip length — elevate, Jun 12 '19 at 04:48

This ended up working for me:

let duration : CMTime = (player.currentItem!.asset.duration)!
let timeInMinutes = Float(duration.value)
