iPhone - issue in playing mp4 video with Swift - iOS

I used this code to ready the path of the mp4 file from resources and play it.

I used this code snippet:

func playVideo(videoName : String, type: String) {


    let url = urlForFile(videoName, fileType: type)
    if let url = url {
        /* use the scene */
        moviePlayer = MPMoviePlayerController(contentURL: url)
        if let player = moviePlayer {
            player.view.frame = self.view.bounds

            player.controlStyle = MPMovieControlStyle.None
            player.prepareToPlay()
            player.scalingMode = .AspectFill
            self.view.addSubview(player.view)
        }
        println("it started!")
    } else {
        /* the scene couldn't be intialized */
        finishedVideo()
    }

}

func urlForFile (fileName : String, fileType: String) -> NSURL? {
    let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource(fileName, ofType:fileType)
    if let path = path {
        return NSURL(fileURLWithPath:path)
    } else {
        return nil
    }
}

i implement it with this function call:

playVideo("splash_video", type: "mp4");

the file is here:

Screenshot

the urlForFile function always returns nil

I also tried to convert the video to m4v and mov, still get same result "nil"

so how on earth Can i play video in SWIFT !?

Your code looks correct, there is no issue in that. Probably you forgot to add that file to your target membership.

  1. Select your file
  2. Choose the file inspector
  3. Under Target Membership select your target
