How to parse m3u file with AVPlayer

Leave a Comment

I want to get track info from m3u file headers not from id3Tags. In AVPlayer's timedMetaData properties it is only id3Tag parsing is provided.

How can I get title, artist, url etc from following m3u file with AVPlayer

#EXTM3U #EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:11 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0 #EXTINF:10,title="Dark Horse",artist="Katy Perry / Juicy J",url="song_spot=\"M\" MediaBaseId=\"1971116\" itunesTrackId=\"0\" amgTrackId=\"-1\" amgArtistId=\"0\" TAID=\"35141\" TPID=\"23894643\" cartcutId=\"0729388001\" amgArtworkURL=\"http://assets.iheart.com/images/1080/MI0003667474\" length=\"00:03:32\" unsID=\"-1\"" http://chunks.ihrhls.com/1469/GqsS8fnz2S6-301028-9984.aac #EXTINF:10,title="Dark Horse",artist="Katy Perry / Juicy J",url="song_spot=\"M\" MediaBaseId=\"1971116\" itunesTrackId=\"0\" amgTrackId=\"-1\" amgArtistId=\"0\" TAID=\"35141\" TPID=\"23894643\" cartcutId=\"0729388001\" amgArtworkURL=\"http://assets.iheart.com/images/1080/MI0003667474\" length=\"00:03:32\" unsID=\"-1\"" http://chunks.ihrhls.com/1469/spXO68wER45-301029-9984.aac #EXTINF:10,title="Dark Horse",artist="Katy Perry / Juicy J",url="song_spot=\"M\" MediaBaseId=\"1971116\" itunesTrackId=\"0\" amgTrackId=\"-1\" amgArtistId=\"0\" TAID=\"35141\" TPID=\"23894643\" cartcutId=\"0729388001\" amgArtworkURL=\"http://assets.iheart.com/images/1080/MI0003667474\" length=\"00:03:32\" unsID=\"-1\"" http://chunks.ihrhls.com/1469/RSEeNpIOEHk-301029-10031.aac

You can get the track information using AVURLAsset

AVURLAsset *asset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url] options:nil]; NSArray *keys = @[@"playable", @"tracks", @"duration"];  [asset loadValuesAsynchronouslyForKeys:keys completionHandler:^() {      for (NSString *thisKey in keys) {          NSError *error = nil;          AVKeyValueStatus keyStatus = [asset statusOfValueForKey:thisKey error:&error];          if (keyStatus == AVKeyValueStatusFailed) {              //handle error          }      }  }]; 

Also take a look at this answer to get title, album, etc.
