Video Not playing in iOS 10

Question

In the following code:

// NSURL *videoURL1 = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.ebookfrenzy.com/ios_book/movie/movie.mov"]];
NSURL *videoURL2 = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4"]];



AVPlayer *playerV = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:videoURL];
AVPlayerViewController *playerViewController = [AVPlayerViewController new];
playerViewController.player = playerV;

[self presentViewController:playerViewController animated:YES completion:^{
    [playerV play];
}];

VideoURL1 is working but videoURL2 is not working and the screen is like this:

I added keys and values in info.plist:

@Sekhar just replace `AVPlayer *playerV = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:videoURL];` with `AVPlayer *playerV = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:videoURL2];` — Syed Ali Salman, Nov 30 '16 at 08:01
and it should be throwing you errors unless there is already some videoURL variable. — Syed Ali Salman, Nov 30 '16 at 08:04

Reason behind not working you second url is that you are whitelisting only "http://www.ebookfrenzy.com" which does not support support secure connection. You should also whitelist "clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de" in the same manner you have whitelisted "http://www.ebookfrenzy.com" . If you are going to access video from many site dynamically which does not support secure connection(https) then and the below line in your plist.

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>

For more detail have a look on following thread-

How do I load an HTTP URL with App Transport Security enabled in iOS 9?

The second video uses HTTPS. So it doesn't need to be white-listed. – Codo Nov 30 '16 at 12:01
@codo2 - please write AVPlayer *playerV = [AVPlayer playerWithURL: videoURL2]; instead AVPlayer *playerV = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:videoURL]; – Pankaj Gupta Nov 30 '16 at 12:10
Can anybody try the both video links to play, please provide code – Sekhar Dec 01 '16 at 04:19
