AVPlayer avp;
AVPlayerViewController avpvc;


var url = NSUrl.FromString(yourURL);
            avp = new AVPlayer(url);
            avpvc = new AVPlayerViewController();
            avpvc.Player = avp;
            AddChildViewController(avpvc);
            View.AddSubview(avpvc.View);
            avpvc.View.Frame = View.Frame;
            avpvc.ShowsPlaybackControls = true;
            avp.Play();

This is all done in viewDidLoad and its working fine now.
