Trying to add movie in xcode 4.6.1 but crash - xcode

I'm trying to add a video in xcode but it crashes: [NSURL initFileURLWithPath:]: nil string
(IBAction)Play:(id)sender {
/////
NSString *videoUrl=[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"tnween" ofType:#"mov"];
MPMoviePlayerController *player=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:videoUrl]];
[player play];
}

Maybe if you try:
NSString *videoUrl=[[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:#"tnween" ofType:#"mov"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL urlWithString:videoUrl];
MPMoviePlayerController *player=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]initWithContentURL:url];

Can't play mp3 file in an infinite loop

I am trying to play a music file with eternal loop.
My code is:
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"theme" ofType:#"mp3" inDirectory:#"assets/audios" ];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
NSError *error;
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];
audioPlayer.numberOfLoops = -1;
audioPlayer.volume = 1.0;
if (audioPlayer == nil){
NSLog(#"Error creating player: %#", error);
}
[audioPlayer prepareToPlay];
[audioPlayer play];
But it does nothing. Nothing is played and any message log is printed.
The code below works great:
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"theme" ofType:#"mp3" inDirectory:#"assets/audios" ];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
SystemSoundID soundID;
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((CFURLRef)CFBridgingRetain(url), &soundID);
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound (soundID);
But I need to control the volume and the loop.
I dont know what Im doing wrong.
Can anyone help me?

xcode cannot get sound file to play with AVAudioPlayer

I am new to iOS and trying to add sound to my app. I have followed several tutorials about adding a simple sound file to my project, but ALL with the same result. I get no errors, but no sound plays. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!
- (IBAction)playSound:(id)sender {
NSString *soundFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"test" ofType:#"mp3"];
NSURL *soundFileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundFilePath];
NSLog(soundFilePath);
NSError *error;
AVAudioPlayer *player = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundFileURL error:&error];
player.numberOfLoops = 1;
[player play];
}
**UPDATE***
So I never had any luck with the above code which is very discouraging, but I did end up getting it to work using the AudioToolbox Framework instead, using this:
SystemSoundID soundID;
NSString *soundFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"test" ofType:#"mp3"];
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((__bridge CFURLRef)
[NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundFile], & soundID);
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(soundID);
Can anyone explain to me the difference, why this one works and the other does not?? I am curious more than anything. Would love some clarification.
Finally figured it out. I needed to create a property for AVAudioPlayer in my header file in order to get it to work. Here is what I did:
// .h file
#interface ThirdViewController : UIViewController {
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer;
- (void) playSound //method in .m file
{
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"test"
ofType:#"mp3"]];
NSError *error;
audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error];
[audioPlayer play];
}
Simplify your code by doing the follow. Also drop your test.mp3 to the root of your project directory in xcode. Your mp3 placement and location is very important. Also ensure volume is up, and vibrate is off of your device, and it's unmuted.
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:#"test"
ofType:#"mp3"]];
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc]
initWithContentsOfURL:url
error:nil];
[audioPlayer play];
Make sure you install quartz.h, or a specific framework that supports audio players. Just double check.
Had the same problem a while back and the framework must be installed properly.

playing video in Xcode after version 4.2.1

It seems like after Xcode version 4.2.1 my video code won't work?
objective C code:
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:
[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"h" ofType:#"mp4"]];
MPMoviePlayerViewController *playercontroller =
[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playercontroller];
playercontroller.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
[playercontroller.moviePlayer play];
// [playercontroller release];
playercontroller = nil;
Try instead of
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playercontroller];
[[self navigationController]presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playercontroller];
If you are using navigation controller.

How to play video from NSData

I would like to know if it's possible to play a video from an NSData object... with the MPMoviePlayerController.
Ben's answer works perfectly on simulator but wont work on the device, You cannot write anywhere on the device. Check code below
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"myMove.mp4"];
[videoData writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
NSURL *moveUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]init];
[player setContentURL:moveUrl];
player.view.frame = viewPlayer.bounds;
[viewPlayer addSubview:player.view];
[player play];
As far as I know this is not possible. If the data comes from your DB, can you save it into a temporary file and play that?
It is better to use NSFileManager in this case instead writeToFile
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"myMove.mp4"];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:path contents:videoData attributes:nil];
NSURL *moveUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]init];
[player setContentURL:moveUrl];
player.view.frame = viewPlayer.bounds;
[viewPlayer addSubview:player.view];
[player play];
create a file with the type of your NSData for example if your NSData is type of mp4 create a file with that type - for example - "myMove.mp4"
copy past the file to your app resurces
add this code
NSData *mediaData; //your data
NSString *movePath=[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"myMove" ofType:#"mp4"];
[mediaData writeToFile:movePath atomically:YES];
NSURL *moveUrl= [NSURL fileURLWithPath:movePath];
MPMoviePlayerController *movePlayer=[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]init];
[movePlayer setContentURL:moveUrl];
[movePlayer play];
