Playing audio using url is not working on iOS7 - ios

Question

In my application, I have an audio url. I want to play the audio using that url on my device. It does not seem to be working.
Here is the code I am using.
- (IBAction)play:(id)sender {
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://jesusredeems.in/media/Media Advt/mp3_player/Songs/viduthalaiyin geethangal_vol1/93.Ellame Koodum.mp3"];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:data error:nil];
[audioPlayer play];
}
I have used the above code. It's not working. Please tell me where I'm going wrong in the above code.

Answer 1

You need to add percentage escape in your query string, also you need to declare the AVAudioPlayer as a global variable.
So write the property in your class extension:
#property (nonatomic, strong) AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
And modify your method like:
- (IBAction)play:(id)sender
{
NSString *urlstr = #"http://jesusredeems.in/media/Media Advt/mp3_player/Songs/viduthalaiyin geethangal_vol1/93.Ellame Koodum.mp3";
urlstr = [urlstr stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlstr];
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
_audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:data error:nil];
[_audioPlayer play];
}

Answer 2

You need to add percentage encoding %20 of space in URL
NSString *strURl=#"http://jesusredeems.in/media/Media Advt/mp3_player/Songs/viduthalaiyin geethangal_vol1/93.Ellame Koodum.mp3";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[strURl stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
if still not working use delegate methods
audioPlayer = self;
USe delegate methods
-(void)audioPlayerDecodeErrorDidOccur:
(AVAudioPlayer *)player
error:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#"%#",error);
}
