Video Playback from documents directory

By ayazalavi on Thu, 10/18/2012 - 11:52

Hi,

I changed little code in

- (BOOL)load:(NSString*)filename playImmediately:(BOOL)playOnTextureImmediately fromPosition:(float)seekPosition

of VideoPlayerHelper class. I want it to play video from documents directory. Here is the code

 

NSString* fullPath;            // Play media from this app's Resources folder            if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filename]) {                fullPath = filename;            }            else {                NSString* resourcesFolder = [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath];                fullPath = [resourcesFolder stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename];                            }

NSLog(@"Full Path: %@", fullPath);            mediaURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:fullPath];

Media Url printed for bundle file is

file://localhost/var/mobile/Applications/8A0C355C-AE26-4035-8DF9-7243962D6B53/What%20The%20Buck.app/Chris6.m4v

Media Url printed for documents directory file is

file://localhost/var/mobile/Applications/8A0C355C-AE26-4035-8DF9-7243962D6B53/Documents/obam1.m4v

Bundle file is working fine where as documents directory video is not playing. What should i do?
