Playing a video file saved in the app's documents directory

Question

I have a video file saved in my app\'s local directory in the documents folder. I want to playback the file when the user clicks on the item in an embedded table view I crea

Answer 1

you can play Video from Document Directory like this way:-

-(IBAction)playVideo
{
    NSURL *vedioURL;
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

    NSArray *filePathsArray = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] subpathsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory  error:nil];
    NSLog(@"files array %@", filePathsArray);        

    NSString *fullpath;

    for ( NSString *apath in filePathsArray )
    {
        fullpath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:apath];       
        vedioURL =[NSURL fileURLWithPath:fullpath];
    }
    NSLog(@"vurl %@",vedioURL);
    MPMoviePlayerViewController *videoPlayerView = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:vedioURL];
    [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:videoPlayerView];
    [videoPlayerView.moviePlayer play];     
}

NOTE

Please note that don't Forget to include requested Framework or connect Delegate

The mistake in you was you missed / before DemoRecording.mp4

It should be

NSString* path = [documentPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"/DemoRecording.mp4"];

Also you are writing player statements before declaring it.
