Question

how to play a video in iPhone sdk using MPMoviePlayerViewController,here i capture video through device and save that particular video in documents directory .
please tell me any one….

Answer 1

Get Document Directory Path:

NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];

Then you can use any of the directory listing APIs of NSFileManager.

NSError * error;
NSArray * directoryContents = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:&error];

Now You have all contents at Directory Path (all videos stored) in array

NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL UrlWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",documentsDirectory,[directoryContents objectAtIndex:0]]]; //check which url u want play as video name is in nsarray i have selected one random video name.

Use MovieControllerPlayer instance to play url:

 MPMoviePlayerViewController *mpViewController = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:videoURL]; 
 [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:mpViewController]; 
 [mpViewController.view setCenter:yourView.center]; 
 //[mpViewController release];

Hope useful.
