How to hide MPMediaItemPropertyPlaybackDuration slider from locked screen and Control Center?

I'm working on online radio player and need some help. When I set MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.defaultCenter().nowPlayingInfo I have title, controls and playback duration slider. I don't need this slider because I have no info about playback duration and moreover it is not a very good looking control. Can somebody prompt me how to hide playback duration slider? And one more question: since the app is online radio player, the user have no ability to forward or rewind the playback, so I want to hide this controls from locked screen and Control Center either. By the way I'm using Swift. Thanks in advance!

In case its a live stream you can set the MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyIsLiveStream property true. Instead of the slider a 'LIVE' label will be displayed.

[songInfo setObject:@0 forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyPlaybackDuration];
[playingInfoCenter setNowPlayingInfo:songInfo];

When you set MPMediaItemPropertyPlaybackDuration to 0, the slider is gone.

I was searching for a way to hide the playback duration slier too and couldn't find any. Then I played a radio from Apple Music app and when I locked the screen I could see the duration slider. So either there is no way to remove it or Apple "forgot" to remove it on their own Music app.

To hide the forward and rewind buttons, you disable the relevant commands in MPRemoteCommandCenter. Here's how: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28925369.

I wish I knew how to hide the playback slider. I posted a similar question before finding yours.
