I wish to use the AVFoundation to load and play movie files. The first problem I have is attempting to load multiple local files. The code I found only allows me to load one. If I call the method below it exits with the exception:
Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: 'Cannot remove an observer for the key path "currentItem.nonForcedSubtitleDisplayEnabled" from because it is not registered as an observer.'
Thanks for any advice
- (IBAction)loadAssetFromFile:(NSString*)fileName withExtension:(NSString*)extension {
NSURL *fileURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
URLForResource:fileName withExtension:extension];
AVURLAsset *asset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:fileURL options:nil];
NSString *tracksKey = @"tracks";
[asset loadValuesAsynchronouslyForKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObject:tracksKey] completionHandler:
^{
// Completion handler block.
NSError *error = nil;
AVKeyValueStatus status = [asset statusOfValueForKey:tracksKey error:&error];
if (status == AVKeyValueStatusLoaded) {
self.playerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset:asset];
[playerItem addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"status" options:0 context:&ItemStatusContext];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(playerItemDidReachEnd:)
name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification
object:playerItem];
self.player = [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:playerItem];
[playerView setPlayer:player];
}
else {
// Deal with the error appropriately.
NSLog(@"The asset's tracks were not loaded:\n%@", [error localizedDescription]);
}
}];
}
oops i figured it out myself, check out my answer to this question: MPMoviePlayerController switching movies causes white flash
