Summary:
I am trying to insert an AVURLAsset of a AVPlayerItem that states AVPlayerItemStatusReadyToPlay into an AVMutableComposition.

Steps to Reproduce:
See enclosed Xcode Project.

Expected Results:
Proper error-message describing my failure.

Actual Results:
Not that helpful error-message. No mention in the documentation that AVMutableCompositions do not accept remote assets.

Regression:

Notes:
It appears to be fact that AVMutableComposition does only accept local assets. This should be properly noted and described within the AVFoundation documentation. Also the error-message returned could be a lot more helpful.
