NSUrl FileUrlWith Path adds "- file: // localhost /" to the end

I am using MPMoviePlayerController to play video from url. for this I am getting a link from XML parsing. This is normal.

 NSString *path=[[self.items  objectAtIndex:videoIndex]objectForKey:@"link"];

I am assigning this path to NSURL fileWithPath as shown below.

    NSURL *mediaUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

When printing mediaUrl NSLog provides " http://example.com - file: // localhost /"

Why the file: // localhost / is appended to the url is why the video is not palletizing. Any help Please. Thank.

Edit: NSURL *mediaUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

To: NSURL *mediaUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:path];



How do you call fileURLWithPath

by adding file://localhost/

to your url string.

This is probably a little outdated, but NSURL adds a file - file :: // localhost if the string you are passing is not a valid full path string.

In your case, this is probably because you don't have a line with "/" at the beginning (ie: "var / test" will have file: // localhost added as you saw, but if you change it to "/ var / test", you get the NSURL correctly with "file: // localhost / var / test"



If you are trying to make a relative path, you can start with "~ / somelink" and then use stringByExpandingTildeInPath first to get the full path.
