How to Play Videos Files from an iPod Video Library? - iphone

Question

How can I play video files in my application from an iPod video library? Is there any other possibility to search and play video files stored anywhere in an iPhone?

Answer 1

You can't The iPod Library access is audio only at this time. There is currently no way to access any video outside of your application sandbox (in other words, you can only search through and play video your app has downloaded itself).
If you need access to the video library you should file a bug with Apple describing why you need it.

Answer 2

You can play video files store in device, there are 3 places you can search :
Camera Roll : video recorded
iPod Library
File Sharing
After searching on internet I found this sample of Apple describe how to get and play those videos.
Here is AVPlayerDemo
Hope this will help you. Good luck :)

MPMediaPropertyPredicate *predicate = [MPMediaPropertyPredicate predicateWithValue:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:MPMediaTypeMovie] forProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyMediaType];
MPMediaQuery *query = [[MPMediaQuery alloc] init];
[query addFilterPredicate:predicate];
NSArray *items = [query items];
NSURL url = [[NSURL alloc]init];
for (MPMediaItem item in items)
{
//get the Title of video
NSString* title = [item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyTitle];
NSLog(#"title %#",title);
//get the path of Video
url = [item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL];
NSLog(#"url %#",url);
}
