What is difference between URLWithString and fileURLWithPath of NSURL?
ios, nsstring, nsurl, objective-c, path
Solution
`+URLWithString:` produces an `NSURL` that represents the string as given. So the string might be `@"http://www.google.com"` and the URL represents `http://www.google.com`.
`+fileURLWithPath:` takes a path, not a URL, and produces an `NSURL` that represents the path using a `file://` URL. So if you give it `/foo/bar/baz` the URL would represent `file:///foo/bar/baz`.
You can of course construct a file URL string manually and pass it to `+URLWithString:`, but `+fileURLWithPath:` is simpler to use when you already have a path, as you don't have to deal with escaping the string and coercing it to a URL format.
Problem
In my code I have to use `URLWithString` to play streaming(`HLS`) video and `fileURLWithPath` to play local video. What is the difference between these two methods? How should I use single method to play both videos. Also I need to show last frame as still image when `HSL` video ends. Its now showing blank screen when it ends. How should i achieve this?
