How to observe more precise player time in VLCKit?

I'm trying to incorporate MobileVLCKit into my app but the default time observer isn't precise enough for me and makes the progress bar jump between times. Is there a way to get more precise time updates (for example, every 1/60th second)?

Here's my current code:

let player = VLCMediaPlayer()

func mediaPlayerTimeChanged(_ aNotification: Notification) {
    print(player.time)
}

/// 0.0
/// 0.0
/// 0.0
/// 0.1
/// 0.1
/// 0.1
/// 0.2

Thanks in advance!

you can use this solution:

    func setUpTimer() {
        Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1.0, repeats: true) { _ in
            self.progressAnimation()
        }
    }

    func progressAnimation() {
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.003, delay: 0.0, options: [.beginFromCurrentState],
                       animations: { [weak self] in
            self?.progressView.progress = player.position
            self?.layoutIfNeeded()
        }, completion: nil)
    }

call the setUpTimer() funtion on whatever you want fire

Unable to find documentation for the option, I happened upon the following when browsing manually, which appears to be the solution to ensure not only that mediaPlayerTimeChanged updates more frequently, but the correct updated time of the playing media is accurate.

mediaPlayer.timeChangeUpdateInterval = 0.05

try: player.position

e.g:

let player = VLCMediaPlayer()

func mediaPlayerTimeChanged(_ aNotification: Notification) {
    print(player.position)
}

You need to get the content length too to convert it into a human readable time e.g: let content_length = player.media.length
