Set UIActivityIndicatorView when AVPlayer is buffering? in objective c

Question

How can I check if my AVPlayer is buffering?

I want to detect if my AVPlayer is buffering for the .m3u8 format URl, so that I can show a loader or something when downloading video. But I can't seem to find anything in the documentation for AVPlayer.

You can use KVO to observe the keyPath timeControlStatus. There are three different statuses;

AVPlayerTimeControlStatusWaitingToPlayAtSpecifiedRate
AVPlayerTimeControlStatusPlaying
AVPlayerTimeControlStatusPaused
