Adding Local files to projects files

Question

import UIKit import AVKit import AVFoundation

class ViewController: UIViewController {


var playerviewcontroller = AVPlayerViewController()
var playerview = AVPlayer ()

@IBAction func playMusic(sender: AnyObject) {
    let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath:"/Users/MorganEvans/Documents/Apps/32134.mp4")
    playerview = AVPlayer(URL: fileURL)

    playerviewcontroller.player = playerview

    self.presentViewController(playerviewcontroller, animated: true){

        self.playerviewcontroller.player?.play()
    }


}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

When I use the app it does not work because the file is on my mac. Please Can someone explain how I put the video file in the project. Thanks

You just need to drag and drop the file like video or image that you want to use in your project statically. Following i just add :

 @IBAction func playMusic(sender: AnyObject) {

        let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("32134", ofType:"mp4")
        let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path)

        playerview = AVPlayer(URL: fileURL)

        playerviewcontroller.player = playerview

        self.presentViewController(playerviewcontroller, animated: true){

            self.playerviewcontroller.player?.play()
        }


    }

Another way is Past your video, audio or image file in your project folder like following:

after that Add this file in to your xcode project by following step:

You get drapDown window and select your file as following:

And you the same code for getting file path:

 let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("32134", ofType:"mp4")
 let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path)

Try checking for the nil. Also get the video file URL from NSBundle

if let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("32134", ofType:"mp4") {
    let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: path!)

    playerview = AVPlayer(URL: fileURL)

    playerviewcontroller.player = playerview

    self.presentViewController(playerviewcontroller, animated: true){

        self.playerviewcontroller.player?.play()
    }
   }
