Live stream using AVPlayer not playing in iOS 11 - swift

Question

I am trying to stream a music from remote url. I am trying to run this in iOS 11 but it not play the music.
ViewController
var session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
var LQPlayer: AVPlayer?
let LOW_URL = URL(string: "http://someLInk.pls")! // not an original url provided at this time.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.avPlayerSetup()
}
func avPlayerSetup() {
do {
try session.setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback)
try session.overrideOutputAudioPort(.none)
try session.setActive(true)
} catch {
print("AVPlayer setup error \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
func initPlayer() {
LQPlayer = AVPlayer(url: LOW_URL)
print("player allocated")
}
func deAllocPlayer() {
LQPlayer = nil
print("player deallocated")
}
#IBAction func playBtn(_ sender: Any) {
initPlayer()
LQPlayer?.play()
}
#IBAction func pauseBtn(_ sender: Any) {
LQPlayer?.pause()
deAllocPlayer()
}
}
I set Allow Arbitrary Loads YES in info.plist.
Above code the URL I given is dummy. Actual url is working fine.

Working Code with Live Video Stream
#IBOutlet weak var player_View: UIView!
var LQPlayer: AVPlayer?
let LOW_URL = URL(string:"http://www.streambox.fr/playlists/test_001/stream.m3u8")!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.avPlayerSetup()
LQPlayer = AVPlayer.init(url: LOW_URL)
let avPlayerView = AVPlayerViewController()
avPlayerView.view.frame = self.player_View.bounds
avPlayerView.player = LQPlayer
self.player_View.addSubview(avPlayerView.view)
}
func avPlayerSetup() {
do {
try audioSession.setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback)
try audioSession.overrideOutputAudioPort(AVAudioSessionPortOverride.speaker)
try audioSession.setActive(true)
} catch {
print("AVPlayer setup error \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
func initPlayer() {
LQPlayer = AVPlayer(url:LOW_URL)
print("player allocated")
}
func deAllocPlayer() {
LQPlayer = nil
print("player deallocated")
}
#IBAction func playBtn(_ sender: Any) {
// initPlayer()
LQPlayer?.play()
}
#IBAction func pauseBtn(_ sender: Any) {
LQPlayer?.pause()
deAllocPlayer()
}
