I'm trying to play a video using swift, however the line of code below gives me an error
init(URL:)' has been renamed to init(url:)'
let player = AVPlayer(URL: NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path) as URL)
How can modify this line to get ride of the error.
Thanks
Try this:
if let player = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "The name of your file", withExtension: "mp4"){
if NSWorkspace.shared().open(player) {
}
}
Be sure to substitute the name of your file and file type. You may want to put it in a function and call that function.
I know it's a totally different way of doing it, but it's always worked for me. I recommend trying it.

I am trying to load a rcproject from a local directory. My target is, to load it from an URL and then show it.
If I load it like this:
let modelScene = try? Entity.loadAnchor(named: "Experience")
everything works fine.
But if I do this:
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "./Experience")
or
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "./Experience.rcproject")
and
let modelScene = try? Entity.loadAnchor(contentsOf: url, withName: "Experience")
or
let modelScene = try? Entity.loadAnchor(contentsOf: url)
I get the following error:
// [Pipeline] Failed to open scene 'Experience -- file:///'.
I have no idea, what the issue here is. Did someone has an idea, what i can try?
My development target is 14.4
In the apple docs, they write, that it should work like this, right?
loadAnchor(contentsOf:withName:) type method was composed for .usd, .usda, .usdc, .usdz and .reality file formats. However official documentation says that now they work only for Reality files. You can read about it here.
public static func loadAnchor(contentsOf url: URL,
withName resourceName: String?) throws -> AnchorEntity
And here's a definition inside your code:
Supported file formats are USD or Reality. In order to identify a resource across a network session, the resource needs to have a unique name. This name is set using resourceName. All participants in the network session need to load the resource and assign the same resourceName.
My Mac programs usually ship with some internal Rich Text files containing legal details. I use the NSWorkspace openFile call to open the files within TextEdit.
The code looks something like this:
guard let aPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: “Legal.rtf”, ofType: nil) else { return }
NSWorkspace.shared.openFile(aPath, withApplication: nil)
This has always worked, until recently when this code returns “The application can’t be opened. -50”. Is that a Sandbox issue? Accessing files within your bundle should be allowed. We do it for images and such.
What do I have set wrong?
Thank you!
Thank you for your comments.
I should have mentioned at first that parameter string I had included both filename and the file type (extension). So I would have to split them, something that was easy to do with NSString, but is not immediately available for Swift String. A bit of conversion would have given me the two strings.
However, that OpenFile has been replaced with the newer open(_:)
let name = "Legal.rtf"
guard let aURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: name, withExtension: "") else { return }
NSWorkspace.shared.open(aURL)
This call does NOT mind if you pass it string with both parts.
I have a short video on my local machine. I am trying to open it using NSWorkspace on QuickTime Player.
let stringUrl = "~/Desktop/myrec.mov"
let url = URL(string: stringUrl)!
let config = NSWorkspace.OpenConfiguration()
config.activates = true
NSWorkspace.shared.open(
[url],
withApplicationAt: URL(string: "~/Applications/QuickTime Player")!,
configuration: config
)
The error I am getting is:
Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value: file cap/cap.swift
Which has to do with withApplicationAt being the incorrect URL and returning nil.
I'm sure withApplicationAtURL is wrong, but I have no idea how to find the url for the quicktime player app.
I am very new to Swift and am having trouble reading the docs, especially since they don't seem up to date (e.g. my compiler says openFile is deprecated and led me to open).
I'm also not sure if this is the correct/best way to go about accomplishing what I am trying to do (open a small local video on quicktime player).
Any recommendations, tips, advice, or answers would be greatly appreciated!
Try this. Works on my Mac:
let stringUrl = "/Users/whoever/Desktop/myrec.mov"
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: stringUrl)
let config = NSWorkspace.OpenConfiguration()
config.activates = true
NSWorkspace.shared.open(
[url],
withApplicationAt: URL(fileURLWithPath: "/System/Applications/QuickTime Player.app"),
configuration: config
)
Please note that that I replaced the initializer of URL with the correct one. Also note, that I've swapped the QuickTime Player path with the one that Finder gives me (right-click while holding option key).
I use VLCKit in swift, so i created customize video player view
and i have external subtitles for movies from links, i read files from server and convert it so string
do {
let text = try NSString(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: self.subtitleUrl)!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
self.mediaPlayer.openVideoSubTitlesFromFile(text as String)
}catch {
print("Error")
}
and i called a function named "openVideoSubTitlesFromFile"
in player but not working
anyone can give me a solution
This method (which will be deprecated in the next major release of VLCKit) does only accept local file paths, no remote URLs. You need to download the subtitles file, cache it locally and provide the path of the stored file to the method. Additionally, you may only use this method after playback started.
NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("bach1", withExtension: "jpg")
The above code is returning null.
In order to check if the file exists or not, I used below code:
let fileManager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
if fileManager.fileExistsAtPath(savepath) {
println("exist")
}
The above code returns that file exists in directory.
So I don't understand why the first code is returning null
Your problem is that NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("bach1", withExtension: "jpg") returns an optional NSURL. You need to use if let to unwrap it and extract your file path from the returned url as follow:
if let resourceUrl = NSBundle.mainBundle().URLForResource("bach1", withExtension: "jpg") {
if NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(resourceUrl.path!) {
print("file found")
}
}
Swift 3.x
if let resourceUrl = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "bach1", withExtension: "jpg") {
if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: resourceUrl.path) {
print("file found")
}
}
I found that you have to actually go into Build Phases -> Copy Bundle Resources and manually add your item sometimes to the bundle. In my case it was a video file that didn't get added to the bundle correctly on its own.
NSBundle.URLForResource only returns files that are bundled in your application at build/compile time, like when you drag a file into your Xcode project and add it to your app target. You can typically use this when your app comes preloaded with resources you need, like images, movies, databases, and other files.
It seems like savepath is a path your application wrote to while running (maybe into your app's Documents directory?). Because of this, the file is outside of the bundle and you will need to store that path/URL somewhere (or build it up again) if you need to reference the file in the future.
I had this issue too. My fix was:
Selecting the file in project navigator
Open the 'File Inspector' (on the right hand side pane)
Checking the app target in the Target Membership
