For playing more than one URL, or effectively changing the URL, use the subclass AVQueuePlayer.

AVQueuePlayer is a subclass of AVPlayer you use to play a number of items in sequence.

Example:

NSString *fooVideoPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"tommy" ofType:@"mov"];
NSString *barVideoPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"pamela" ofType:@"mp4"];

AVPlayerItem *fooVideoItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:fooVideoPath]];
AVPlayerItem *barVideoItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:barVideoPath]];

self.queuePlayer = [AVQueuePlayer queuePlayerWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:fooVideoItem, barVideoItem,nil]];
[self.queuePlayer play];

// things happening...

[self.queuePlayer advanceToNextItem];
