AVPLAYER won't show on the view but plays sound

So I'm working on a player using AVFoundation, I can get it to play, but it won't show on the view. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing to get it to show on the view?

Here's my code:

    self.playerUrl = NSURL(string: playerStr)!
    self.player = AVPlayer.playerWithURL(self.playerUrl)! as! AVPlayer
    self.playerLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 200)
    self.playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(layer: self)
    self.playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
    self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
    self.player.play()

Here is your working code: 

let videoURL = NSURL(string: "http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4")
let player = AVPlayer(URL: videoURL)
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
playerLayer.frame = self.view.bounds
self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
player.play()

In your code you are making mistake in this line:

self.player = AVPlayer.playerWithURL(self.playerUrl)! as! AVPlayer

Just change it with this:

self.player = AVPlayer(URL: playerUrl)

And it will work fine.

I have code from a previous app that uses MPMoviePlayerController, which is outdated (they suggest you use AVPlayer), that I know works. You can try it.

    let url:NSURL = NSURL(string: playerStr)!
    self.moviePlayer = MPMoviePlayerController(contentURL: url)
    if let player = self.moviePlayer {
        player.view.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 50, width: self.view.frame.size.width, height: self.view.frame.size.height/2 + 50)
        player.view.sizeToFit()
        player.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingMode.None
        player.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceType.File
        player.repeatMode = MPMovieRepeatMode.One;
        self.view.addSubview(player.view)
        player.play()
    }
