Question

So I have been working on getting a small (> 1 MB) video to play in my app. I keep getting a ‘SIGABRT’ error when I step past the break point in my code. Being the newbie, I haven’t found any insight into what I am doing wrong.

I am using Xcode 4.2.

Thanks for any help.

You’re using the following code to get a URL for your movie:

NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"WhatV1.mp4" ofType:@"mp4"]];

You’re specifying the mp4 portion twice. Try changing that to [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"WhatV1" ofType:@"mp4"];.

Additionally, are you running this on a device or on the simulator? Video frameworks crashing on the simulator are par for the course. Try testing on an iOS device.
