AVAudioPlayer in not playing file from url?

I am trying to play a recorded file in AVAudioPlayer. It plays my Local recording fine but when I try to play the same file stored on server with a valid url it doesn't play any sound..?

I tried

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:self.filePathUrl];
NSData *memoData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
newPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:memoData error:nil];//[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error: nil];

This is not working..

I am not understanding what happen while getting data from url. I am getting my data too. its length is not 0. and the file format on server is .caf only. Please help me to understand the issue.

Thanks.

The AVAudioPlayer can only play local files. See the Apple Developer page on AVAudioPlayer streaming support.

You could use Miguel's streaming audio player that uses an AudioQueue but I don't think you can seek or scrub the audio.

Hope this helps.

You have to start the audioplayer 

  [newPlayer play];
