Incompatible pointer types sending 'NSArray' to parameter of type 'NSString'

I'm a newbie. I am trying to call videos from an array. I know I am mixing strings with objects. But I don't know what to replace it with. Here is the [incorrect] line of code: 

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

How do I fix it?

Here's the whole code block:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.titlelabel.text = self.titlecontents;
    self.navBar.title = self.titlecontents;


    //video load from array
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: _arrayVidSrc ofType:@".mp4"]];

    MPMoviePlayerViewController *playercontroller = [[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:url];
    [self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:playercontroller];
    playercontroller.moviePlayer.movieSourceType = MPMovieSourceTypeFile;
    [playercontroller.moviePlayer play];
    playercontroller = nil;


}

From the context I think you want to get the array of URL's for videos. If _arrrayVidSrc is an array, you should pass only one of its elements (e.g. try using _arrayVidSrc[0] in the incorrect line of code):

NSString * firstVideoFileName = _arrayVidSrc[0];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:firstVideoFileName
                                                                    ofType:@".mp4"]];
