time elapsed in AVPlayer is showing strange numbers in swift

Question

I have the following code to attempt to show the time elapsed of my audio file:

 func updateTime() { let currentTime = Int(player!.currentTime().value) let minutes = currentTime/60 print(minutes) let seconds = currentTime - minutes * 60 print(seconds) time.text = NSString(format: "%02d:%02d", minutes,seconds) as String }

The timer is set in this code in view did load:

 play.play() timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1.0, target: self, selector: #selector(.updateTime), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

There are numbers displayed in the lable but they are completely random, so no display of seconds and minutes. What am I doing wrong here? Is it the way I am getting the current Time?

%d it is for integers. Looks like you are working with Double/NSTimeInterval or Float — Leo Dabus

the numbers I am getting are like this: 15980621, 39, 32657959, 34, 49332843, 18, 65981395, 17, 82654148, 33, 99314348, 47, 115990088, 56, 132647323, 8, 149315021, 16, — kangarooChris

I changed this line to:

let currentTime = Int(player!.currentTime().value) / Int(player!.currentTime().timescale)

I have no idea why this works, but it does the trick!
