There is a playon cloud app on apple tv, with it you can save videos from different services. After saving, the videos are synced with the HDHomeRun app and in this app I can watch the videos that I saved. I need to find out the path to the folder where these videos are stored

I want to get my photos and videos from iPhone on my laptop.
I realized, that I am not able to save with on Mac with Photos app (it adds a sequentially name to the photo..)
and with iCloud there is no option to download all photos together. (Apple-prison).
I found the way after a lot of research and probation:
Workaround 1 - iPhone side
On iPhone with Dropbox app you can upload photos and videos to the cloud, and then you can download them anywhere you wish (even with the free version).
Dropbox is clever enough (not like Mac's Photos app...), to use camera time for naming. So your file names will be a timestamp when you have taken the picture OR video AKA Exif data).
Workaround 2 - desktop machine side
You can use Photos app (on Macbooks), because with cable it is obviously faster than uploading to Dropbox through wifi.
But... Photos app is so "old-school", that when you export photos, it will not use your Exif data as filenames, it will create a sequence, like IMG_6033.mov rather..
images, you can use Exif-renamer app (available in the app-store).
It is free, and it can rename all images in a folder to the timestamp from Exif data.
Unfortunately, it can not rename videos..

I am developing an HTML5 mobile application that should allow users to upload music directly into the application.
The music should be able to be pulled from:
Youtube (opens YouTube interface to insert YouTube link)
SoundCloud (opens SoundCloud profile to insert link/mp3)
Upload from Phone (open iOS music library within phone to select song to upload)
Question:
I want to allow the users to pick a song from their iOS native music library and upload it directly into the app as an mp3.
I've read that a possible solution is to copy the raw song data to the App Storage Directory via the AVAssetReader.
Any other good solutions?
Im going to assume then this is a hybrid so the app will be part native. Yes, you can get the raw song data. You can get it in a variety of different file types. You can do whatever you want to it. You want to somehow send it across to a server, and then load it back into your app on the html5 web interface? Sounds crazy but you might be able to do that. You also might have legal issues and get denied from the app store.
I am developing an iPhone app, in which I have to play multiple videos like "Top rated", "Most played","Favorites" etc.. Each category may have around 20 videos. So having around 100 videos inside resources folder increases the app size. So what I am trying to do is, first saving all the videos locally within the device and selecting the respective videos from the app whenever these videos needs to be played. So is it possible to do so?
Or have to have all the videos inside resources folder?
Thanks in advance.
yes, this is very well possible. you can store your videos in the device before instead of the resources folder and use the ALAssetsLibrary to get access to your videos stored in the photo library.
refer this on how to use the ALAssetsLibrary display image from URL retrieved from ALAsset in iPhone
suppose i load videos to an iPhone using iTunes.
I want to write an app that will allow the selection of videos, and the playing of them.
I am familiar with the MPMoviePlayerController class. but i only played video that i loaded onside my app.
Apple doesn't let you access the movies of the iPod application. You can only access audio files.
From the docs
Use it to find and play user-installed
audio-based media items synced from a
user’s iTunes library. iPod library
access is read-only.

I would like to develop an application for iPhone that classifies the user's music according to user-defined genres. The application should be able to have access to iPhone's Music Library and work on the files, this is, fetching an mp3 file, apply some DSP ( like MFCC coefficients ) and then save the results on the file itself.
Is it possible to obtain a song as a file and work on it?
No. You have access to the music library database and can launch a music player to play a certain song but under the SDK you have neither access to the song files themselves nor to the actual PCM data of the music.
Also, access to the music library database on the device is strictly read-only, so you can't modify genres etc. if that was your plan.
I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but given that you can't access the music data from the iPhone, you might consider having a desktop app that accesses the user's music on their Mac/PC, and encodes something into the genre of the music there. Then you could write a music player app for the iPhone that can understand your genre descriptor and function accordingly. You could even go as far as having your iPhone app and desktop app communicate via WiFi to synch up data.
