Upload videos with objective c

Question

I am to build a really complicated (at least to me) app now. The basic app is as follows:

A tab bar app with two tabs, one for local videos and the other for streami

Answer 1

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
    {
    NSURL *urlvideo = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];


    urlvideo contains the URL of that video file that has to be uploaded. Then convert the url into NSString type because setFile method requires NSString as a parameter

    NSString *urlString=[urlvideo path];

    NSLog(@"urlString=%@",urlString);
    NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"path of server"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[str stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [request setFile:urlString forKey:@"key foruploadingFile"];
    [request setRequestMethod:@"POST"];
    [request setDelegate:self];
    [request startSynchronous];
    NSLog(@"responseStatusCode %i",[request responseStatusCode]);
    NSLog(@"responseStatusCode %@",[request responseString]);
    }

Hope this code will save your couple of hours.

Answer 2

Using AFNetworking:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://api-base-url.com"];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation([UIImage imageNamed:@"avatar.jpg"], 0.5);
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" path:@"/upload" parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
    [formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:@"avatar" fileName:@"avatar.jpg" mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
}];
