Jumpy UISlider when scrubbing - Using UISlider wit

I am using AvPlayer and am trying to set up a slider to allow scrubbing of audio files. Im having a problem with the slider jumping all over the place when its selected. It then goes back to the origin position for a second before going back to the location it was dragged to.

You cant see my cursor on the Gif, but the smooth elongated drags are me moving the knob, then the quick whips are the slider misbehaving.

Ive spent hours googling and combing through Stack Overflow and cant figure out what I'm doing wrong here, a lot of similar questions are quite old and in ObjC.

This is the section of code i think is responsible for the problem, it does handle the event of the slider being moved: Ive tried it without the if statement also and didn't see a different result.

@IBAction func horizontalSliderActioned(_ sender: Any) {

    horizontalSlider.isContinuous = true

    if self.horizontalSlider.isTouchInside {

        audioPlayer?.pause()
            let seconds : Int64 = Int64(horizontalSlider.value)
                let preferredTimeScale : Int32 = 1
                    let seekTime : CMTime = CMTimeMake(seconds, preferredTimeScale)
                        audioPlayerItem?.seek(to: seekTime)
                            audioPlayer?.play()

    } else {

        let duration : CMTime = (self.audioPlayer?.currentItem!.asset.duration)!
            let seconds : Float64 = CMTimeGetSeconds(duration)
                self.horizontalSlider.value = Float(seconds)
    }
}

I will include my entire class below for reference.

        let query = PFQuery(className: "Part")
                query.whereKey("objectId", equalTo: selectedAudio)
                    query.getFirstObjectInBackground { (object, error) in

                if error != nil || object == nil {
                    print("The getFirstObject request failed.")

                } else {
                    print("There is an object now get the Audio. ")

                        let audioFileURL = (object?.object(forKey: "partAudio") as! PFFile).url
                            self.audioPlayerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: NSURL(string: audioFileURL!) as! URL)

回答1:

you need to remove observers and invalidate timers as soon as user selects the thumb on slider and add them back again when dragging is done

to do add targets like this where you load your player:

    mySlider.addTarget(self, 
action: #selector(PlayerViewController.mySliderBeganTracking(_:)),
forControlEvents:.TouchDown)

    mySlider.addTarget(self,
action: #selector(PlayerViewController.mySliderEndedTracking(_:)),
forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)

   mySlider.addTarget(self,
action: #selector(PlayerViewController.mySliderEndedTracking(_:)),
forControlEvents: .TouchUpOutside )

and remove observers and invalidate timers in mySliderBeganTracking then add observers in mySliderEndedTracking for better control on what happens in your player write 2 functions : addObservers and removeObservers and call them when needed

回答2:

Try using the time slider value like below:

 @IBAction func timeSliderDidChange(_ sender: UISlider) {
            AVPlayerManager.sharedInstance.currentTime = Double(sender.value)
        }

var currentTime: Double {
        get {
            return CMTimeGetSeconds(player.currentTime())
        }

        set {
            if self.player.status == .readyToPlay {
                let newTime = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(newValue, 1)
                player.seek(to: newTime, toleranceBefore: kCMTimeZero, toleranceAfter: kCMTimeZero) { ( _ ) in
                    self.updatePlayerInfo()
                }
            }
        }
    }

and pass the value of slider when user release the slider, also don't update the slider value of current playing while user interaction happening on the slider
