AVPlayer seekToTime playing from beginning

Question

I'm trying to use AVPlayer to play audio from external URL (.mp3 files stored in Amazon S3).

I can make the player play and stop the audio perfectly, but when I try to resume it, it starts every time from the start.

My code for play / pause and resume are the following

func playAudio(index: Int) {
    if(self.currentAudioIndex == index) {
      self.resumePlayback()
    }

    self.currentAudioIndex = index;
    let selectedAudio = self.audios[index]
    let url = selectedAudio.url!
    self.playerItem = AVPlayerItem( URL:NSURL( string:url ) )
    self.player = AVPlayer(playerItem:self.playerItem)
    self.player.rate = 1.0;
    self.player.play()
}

func pauseAudio(index: Int) {
    if(self.currentAudioIndex != index) {
      return
    }

    self.playerLastTime = self.player.currentTime()
    self.player.pause()
}

func resumePlayback() {
    let timeScale = self.player.currentItem.asset.duration.timescale;
    let seconds = CMTimeGetSeconds(self.playerLastTime!)
    let time = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(seconds, timeScale)
    self.player.seekToTime(time, toleranceBefore: kCMTimeZero, toleranceAfter: kCMTimeZero)
    self.player.play()
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Haha! I just found out the answer today, I must have been really tired.

Basically i was missing the return instruction in the if statement inside the play function

if(self.currentAudioIndex == index) {
  self.resumePlayback()
  return //This was missing
}

So what happened was that the audio was being loaded again :)

Cheers,
