Question by Julian-Glenn · Mar 16, 2011 at 05:37 PM · videoiphoneutils

iPhoneUtils.PlayMovieURL Can the URL be the /Documents folder?

Folks,

I couldn't find an answer to this question:

Can the "Movie" be in the readable/writable /Documents folder. i.e User chooses a vid from the ones on their device using an objC plugin which copies it over to the /Documents folder, which I then access at runtime by forming an URL from the filePath?

Ok, I found that videos can be played from Documents folder.

But be careful, If I have spaces in the file path then the video doesn't work, just black screen.
