Mute audio tracks of live streams using AVPlayer

Question

I am using AVPlayer to play live stream (m3U8 file). It plays perfectly using AVPlayer but I am not able to mute it.

I am using following code to mute the audio.

As a workaround you may use the MPVolumeView class to adjust the volume of any video. This will allow the user to mute the video if they desire. But unlikely you can't customize this slider's appearance without using the undocumented API.

MPVolumeView *volumeView = [[[MPVolumeView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(10, 37, 260, 20)] autorelease];

UIAlertView *volumeAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Volume" message:@"" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];

[volumeView sizeToFit];
[volumeAlert addSubview:volumeView];
[volumeAlert show];
[volumeAlert release];
