I want to make slider for my AVPlayer, I used AVPlayer because I want to stream a mp3 file from Firebase..

I tried:

var duration = player.currentItem.asset.duration

but that obviously doesn’t work 🙂

I read the documentation of AVPlayer but I don’t get it
There is seek function and I don’t know how that work
In AVAudioPlayer there is duration function which show that information, but in AVPlayer there is nothing like unfortunately…

I solved this.

I used currentTime in previous answer to get currentTime and convert that into seconds using CMTimeGetSeconds function.

But for get complete duration I just made a function getDuration:
```
func getDuration() -> String {
    
    var duration = audioManager.player?.currentItem?.asset.duration
    var getDurationString = DateComponentsFormatter.positional.string(from:CMTimeGetSeconds(duration!))
    
    return getDurationString!
}
```
and just call that function into my Text view.
