Accessing files in VLC for iOS using MobileVLCKit framework in Xcode

Postby abiecohen17 » 10 Apr 2016 11:15

Hi guys,

This is my first time posting on this forum so please bear with me if I've posted to the wrong place. ☺️

I'm currently working on developing an app and I've managed to build and integrate the MobileVLCKit framework through cocoapods. The issue i'm having now is being able to access media. It seems fairly straightforward to stream from an http source; however, I'm trying to access the files stored on the iPhone in the VLC app. Is this at all possible? If it is, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Usually two apps with different AppIDs also have separate Documents directories. That's part of the App Sandboxing.
There is a way to share files among two apps, by creating App Groups and pass the appropriate entitlement with your app. Search the Apple Resources for more info, I don't recall this at the moment.
