I have an html file named videoplay.html with following content
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
This is demo html file for playing movie file embedded.
</p>
<p>
<video controls>
<source src="myvideoname.mov">
</video>
</p>
</body>
</html>
while Using following code (Loading from application bundle) It loads html content and shows movie and able to play movie file.
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath]];
NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"videoplay" ofType:@"html"];
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:path encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
[self.webView loadHTMLString:content baseURL:baseURL];
Using following code (Loading from Document folder of application) It loads html content but shows black portion instead of movie file.
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir =[documentPaths objectAtIndex:0]
NSString *pathOfHTmlFile = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"videoplay.html"];
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:pathOfHTmlFile encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
[self.webView loadHTMLString:content baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:documentsDir]];
What am I missing in above code which cause my code not to work ? Any Idea ?
I want my application with feature UIFileSharingEnabled which enables user to put videos in the document folder itself so my video files would be in documents folder only.
Update for Bounty I found something as follows. But still it only works for smaller videos(less than 50 MB approx) if videos are larger (greater than 100 MB approx) it is not working.
NSArray *documentPaths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir =[documentPaths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *pathOfHTmlFile = [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"videoplay.html"];
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:pathOfHTmlFile encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
documentsDir = [documentsDir stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"/" withString:@"//"];
documentsDir = [documentsDir stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"%20"];
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"file:/%@//", documentsDir]];
NSLog(@"Baseurl--->%@",baseURL);
[self.webView loadHTMLString:content baseURL:baseURL];
As I must need to implement this in my project there is no other way to do for me.
