Reading AVPlayer docs

An AVPlayer is a controller object used to manage the playback and timing of a media asset. You can use an AVPlayer to play local and remote file-based media, such as QuickTime movies and MP3 audio files

Therefore the video format should be supported by QuickTime

and currently the supported formats by QuickTime list doesn't contain .avi

therefore a proper solution for this is to use a custom video player.
