How to play url video using AVPlayerViewController

Question

While hitting my video url, the response which i am getting is :

Error Domain = AVFoundationErrorDomain 
Code = -11853 "Playlist not received, See -[AVPlayerItem errorLog] for 2 events"
UserInfo = {
    NSUnderlyingError = 0x600000251670 
        {
        Error Domain = CoreMediaErrorDomain 
        Code=-12884 "Playlist File not received" 
        UserInfo = {NSDescription = Playlist File not received}
        }, 
    NSLocalizedFailureReason = This data is damaged, incomplete, or incompatible.,
    NSDebugDescription = Playlist not received, 
    See -[AVPlayerItem errorLog] for 2 events, 
    NSLocalizedDescription = Cannot Parse
}

I am stuck on this past two days and couldn't figure out a way out.

Use the following code to play URL video.This will work for you.

The "message?.link" if the video URL. handlePlay() function call on the click button for playing video.

var playerLayer: AVPlayerLayer?
var player: AVPlayer?

func handlePlay() {
    if let videoUrlString = message?.link {                      
        let videoURL = URL(string: videoUrlString)
        self.player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL!)
        let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
        playerViewController.player = ChatMessageCell.player
        nav.present(playerViewController, animated: true, completion: {
            self.player?.play()
        })         

    }
