Get Video Data in Videos Application

I want my player to play videos that are in Video app.

I access Media Library, and want to get list of videos, and when user selected a video, my player get the video data and play it on my own player.

How can I get the video data?

Notice that I want to play videos, not songs.

This is my code to get videos:

let predicate = MPMediaPropertyPredicate(value: MPMediaType.anyVideo.rawValue, forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyMediaType)
    let query = MPMediaQuery()
    query.addFilterPredicate(predicate)
    let items = query.items!

It takes videos as MPMediaItem.

Does it takes videos correctly? If yes, I want to get a video data after user selected one.

Solution

  • I think @Scriptable is right. But notice that downloaded videos will not be accessible through Videos (renamed to TV) application! TV shows iTunes purchased movies.

    You can access downloaded videos through Photos (Gallery). If you mean downloaded videos from the web or other apps.
