AVAsset Unsupported URL

I am trying to load a video downloaded from the internet stored in the Documents directory. However when I try I keep getting: error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1002 "unsupported URL" 

let dstURL = URL(string: dstPath)!
let asset = AVAsset(url: dstURL)
asset.loadValuesAsynchronously(forKeys: ["tracks", "playable"]) {
    var error: NSError?
    let status = asset.statusOfValue(forKey: "tracks", error: &error)
      if error != nil {
          print("status: \(status), error: \(error!)")
      }
    }

While you can use URL(fileURLWithPath:), it has been deprecated on almost every platform (e.g. since macOS 13.3). You should be using URL(string:) instead and make very sure that your URL is complete (i.e. does it have a scheme?)

As an example,

guard var components = URLComponents(string: path) else {
  throw UserError.invalidPath(path)
}

// We're assuming that `path` didn't have this set (e.g. it's an absolute path and just assumes).
components.scheme = "file"

guard let url = components.url else {
  throw UserError.invalidPath(path)
}

return url

You need to use URL(fileUrlWithPath:) instead of URL(string:)
