avqueueplayer

I would like to get the file name and, if possible, album image from a streaming URL in a AVPlayerItem that I am playing with AVQueuePlayer but I don't know how to go about doing this. Also if it turns out that my streaming URL doesn't have any metadata can I put metadata in my NSURL* before passing it to the AVPlayerItem? Thanks.
