Hi I am trying to stream a video on my iphone app. The code plays a local file but crashes with an error " Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'An AVPlayerItem cannot be associated with more than one instance of AVPlayer'" when used to stream a video from a server. Also the link streams the video absolutely fine in a browser but however i am not able to play the video in the app. Please Help . Thanks
