How to play video file from asset library


How to play the video file from assets library? I have the URL of file like

"assets-library://asset/asset.MOV?id=1000000023&ext=MOV"

But I am unable to play this file in media player using the following code:

NSString *urlAddress = @"assets-library://asset/asset.mov?id=1000000023&ext=mov"; 
NSURL *theURL = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress]; 
MPMoviePlayerController *mp = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:theURL];

Solution

  • I was also getting problem, and got the solution. I used the following code and it worked for me. The urlAddress is the url for the video by ALAssetsLibrary.

    -(void)playVideo:(NSString *)urlAddress{
    
    NSString *newUrl = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%@",urlAddress];
    
    NSURL *theURL = [NSURL URLWithString:newUrl];
    
    //player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] init];
    
    [player setContentURL:theURL];
    [player prepareToPlay];
    [player play]; 
    
    }
