I am wondeing: Is there any method to skip to a specific time or skip a specific lapse with IOS Mediaplayer? I cannot find anything similar in the docs.

There is a property myMediaPlyer.currentPlaybackTime

and there is the method myMediaPlayer.beginSeekingForward()

but the method just plays the music in fast mode, which is not what I want. Just wondering if someone knows how to handle this

Yes, you can seek to any time forward or backward within the media player item duration. if you are using AVPlayer, you can seek using this method:

func seek(to seconds: Int) {
    let targetTime:CMTime = CMTimeMake(value: Int64(seconds), timescale: 1)
    player.seek(to: targetTime)
}

And if you are using AVAudioPlayer, you can seek using this method:

func seek(to seconds: Int) {
    player.currentTime = TimeInterval(seconds)
}

  • Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, I am using MPMusicPlayerController.applicationQueuePlayer, to play music from the device's music library, and MPMusicPlayerController has no week method... I wanted to keep the music in the library and just play it in the app, but I guess i'll need to change the approach. – Jorge Zingg Oct 21 '18 at 11:34
