How to play video from NSData

Question

I would like to know if it\'s possible to play a video from an NSData object... with the MPMoviePlayerController.

Answer 1

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];
