I have an app for iPhone and iPad that plays an audio stream using AVPlayer, I am using the same player of the Apple Sample StitchedStreamPlayer, but I made some changes to play music instead of video.
When I run the app, I can listen for some few seconds and then, the device restarts and following error is displayed:
Terminating in response to SpringBoard's termination.
(when I am running using xcode on the device it plays some minutes, but when I unplug the device and run the app again the app crashes)
I am using the iPhone 4 and an iPad mini for testing, none of them are Jailbroken and booth are iOS 6.
The code is quite big, but here is some parts:
header:
@interface NewPlayer : NSObject <AVAudioSessionDelegate>
@property (strong) AVPlayer *player;
@property (strong) AVPlayerItem *playerItem;

If you want to take a deep look, just take a look on StitchedStreamPlayer Sample, I have no idea. I have looked at:
Failed to play audio file using AVPlayer in iPhone
memory leak in AudioToolbox library AVAudioPlayer
and many others..
I have tried to forget all this implementation and use just
player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
[player play];
but it crashes!
Some idea?
EDITED
I Have tried the MPMoviePlayerController but the same happened, the music started and then the device restarted.
This is the code I have used:
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:NULL];
player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[[arrRadios objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:@"url"]]];
[player play];
