Playing a sound from local Documents

I'm trying to get a mp3 from the local Documents on the phone. But I can't get it to work.

If I add the mp3 directly like this to the project it works.

NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Sound" ofType:@"mp3"]];

But lets say i have the Sound.mp3 in Documents I tried with this:

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
                                                     NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *strPointSound = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:
                  [NSString stringWithFormat: @"/tours/media/%@", self.point.pointSound] ];


NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:strPointSound ofType:@"mp3"]];

self.point.pointSound is "Sound.mp3".

Kind Regards.

Solution

  • Change

    NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:strPointSound ofType:@"mp3"]];

    to

    NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:strPointSound];

    Because the Document folder is not a part of your bundle, so you do not need it.
