I am building a task in ios app where, I want to copy the video from library to local app Documents Directory. I have successfully fetch the ALAssest List from Library in an array. Now when I try to copy any video from ALAssest url to our file I am always getting the following error
" Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=262 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (Cocoa error 262.)" UserInfo=0x157d4a70 {NSURL=assets-library://asset/asset.m4v?id=B01C37C9-8C8C-4963-BAC8-EE0356C079DD&ext=m4v"
I have made a folder in document directory to store video
NSString *path;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
filePath = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"AppVideo"];
NSError *error=nil;
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:filePath]) //Does directory already exist?
{
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:filePath
withIntermediateDirectories:NO
attributes:nil
error:&error])
{
NSLog(@"Create directory error: %@", error);
}
NSLog(@"pathToPatientPhotoFolder filePath=%@",filePath);
}
Below is the code for copying data
NSError *error=nil;
NSString *path;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
path = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"AppVideo"];
path = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"myvideo.mp4"];
NSURL * url=nil;
url=[[[self.dataContainer objectAtIndex:selected] defaultRepresentation] url];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyItemAtURL:url toURL:[NSURL URLWithString:path] error:&error];
if(error)
NSLog(@"Writing Error=%@",error.description);
else
NSLog(@"writing has done without error");
`
I have also tried to writing NSData of ALAssest url to file but when I play this with MPMoviePlayerViewController it show only black screen
ALAssetRepresentation *rep = [[self.dataContainer objectAtIndex:selected] defaultRepresentation];
Byte *buffer = (Byte*)malloc(rep.size);
NSUInteger buffered = [rep getBytes:buffer fromOffset:0.0 length:rep.size error:nil];
NSData *FileData = [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:buffer length:buffered freeWhenDone:NO];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:path
contents:FileData
attributes:nil];
but find no any solution.
Finally i have solved my problem for writing ALAsest Data to Directroy path i used
ALAssetRepresentation *rep = [myAssest defaultRepresentation];
Byte *buffer = (Byte*)malloc((NSUInteger)rep.size);
NSUInteger buffered = [rep getBytes:buffer fromOffset:0.0 length:(NSUInteger)rep.size error:nil];
dty = [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:buffer length:buffered freeWhenDone:NO];
[dty writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
and to play this file
NSString *path;
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
path = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"AppVideo"];
path = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.mp4",MyString]];
self.videoController = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
[self.videoController setContentURL:self.videoURL];
[self.videoController.view setFrame:CGRectMake (0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
[self.view addSubview:self.videoController.view];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(videoPlayBackDidFinish:)
name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification
object:self.videoController];
[self.videoController play];
