Playing videos in WatchKit app

Question

I\'ve read some posts, but I don\'t find the answer I need: is it possible to play a video file or a video from a URL in a WatchKit app?

Answer 1

I am sharing objective-c and swift code block. But previoues comment explained. Videos play only local.

Objective-C

#import "InterfaceController.h"

@interface InterfaceController()

@end

@implementation InterfaceController

- (void)awakeWithContext:(id)context {
    [super awakeWithContext:context];

    // Configure interface objects here.
}

- (void)willActivate {
    // This method is called when watch view controller is about to be visible to user
    [super willActivate];
    NSURL* url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"test" withExtension:@"mov"];
    [self.myMoviePlayer setMovieURL:url];
}

- (void)didDeactivate {
    // This method is called when watch view controller is no longer visible
    [super didDeactivate];
}

@end

Swift

import WatchKit
import Foundation


class InterfaceController: WKInterfaceController {
    @IBOutlet var myMoviePlayer: WKInterfaceMovie!

    override func awakeWithContext(context: AnyObject?) {
        super.awakeWithContext(context)

        // Configure interface objects here.
    }

    override func willActivate() {
        // This method is called when watch view controller is about to be visible to user
        super.willActivate()

        let url = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("test", withExtension: "mov")
        self.myMoviePlayer.setMovieURL(url!)
    }

    override func didDeactivate() {
        // This method is called when watch view controller is no longer visible
        super.didDeactivate()
    }

}
