Playing Local Videos

[fnrbh]

Hello,
Thanks for such a library, i am using it in my apps.
In one of my apps i encountered a problem. I am getting a video from the phone's gallery, appending it on my lightbox array and trying to play it, but i am unsuccessful. If i add a remote video, it is playing the video. My own video url is something like this "assets-library://asset/asset.mov?id=C006BE3C-2327-4A91-A139-7B594A99458D&ext=mov".

thanks in advance.

Here is my code:

var controller:LightboxController! = nil
var lbImages = [LightboxImage]()

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        LightboxConfig.handleVideo = { from, videoURL in
            
            // Custom video handling
            
            print("playing local :")
            print(videoURL)
            let videoController = AVPlayerViewController()
            videoController.player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
            
            from.present(videoController, animated: true) {
                videoController.player?.play()
            }
}

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {
        if let chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage {
            picker.dismiss(animated: false, completion: { () -> Void in
                
                print("width is " + String(describing: chosenImage.size.width) + " height " +  String(describing: chosenImage.size.height))
                self.lbImages.append(LightboxImage(image: chosenImage))
                self.mediaCollectionView.reloadData()
                
            })
            
        } else if let videoURL = info["UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL"] as? NSURL {
            picker.dismiss(animated: false, completion: { () -> Void in
                
                print(videoURL)
                self.lbImages.append(LightboxImage(
                    image: UIImage(named:"news")!,
                    text: "",
                    videoURL: videoURL as URL
                    //videoURL: NSURL(string: "https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4") as URL?
                ))
                self.mediaCollectionView.reloadData()
                
            })
        
        
        } else{
            print("Something went wrong")
            self.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
        }
        
        
    }

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        controller = LightboxController(images: lbImages)
        // Set delegates.
        //controller.pageDelegate = self
        //controller.dismissalDelegate = self
        
        // Use dynamic background.
        controller.dynamicBackground = true
        // Present your controller.
        
        controller.headerView.deleteButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.deleteImage), for: .touchUpInside)
        
        present(controller, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

@fnrbh Hi, we just use simple AVPlayerViewController as default https://github.com/hyperoslo/Lightbox/blob/master/Source/LightboxConfig.swift#L12 Can you create a simple project and try to play that video with AVFoundation?

Hi, the way i was getting the video url from imagepicker was wrong. When i corrected it, Ligthbox worked as expected...Thanks...
