To achieve this, you have to know the ALAsset url of the desired video. Use ALAssetLibrary to load the video using ALAsset url.

You can display all the Photolibrary videos using UIimagePickercontroller and you can get the url of the video's when user choosing one from this. Save those url to your application storage and play it again while you need (using ALAsset and saved ALAsset url).

  • thanks . but when we use UIimagePickercontroller and select any video they give temp url how can i get ALAsset url ? – Faheem Rajput Jan 22 '14 at 06:02
  • @FaheemRajput use - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController )picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info { NSURL imageUrl = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL]; } and convert this to string. The url is look like "assets-library://asset/asset.JPG?id=1000000246&ext=JPG". – Shamsudheen TK Jan 22 '14 at 21:37
