downloaded video - AFHTTPRequestOperation vs. NSURLSessionDownloadTask - io

Question

I try to update my existing download-model, so I have replaced my old code:
AFHTTPRequestOperation *downloadRequest = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[downloadRequest setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSData *data = [[NSData alloc] initWithData:responseObject];
[data writeToFile:video2Save.localFilePath atomically:YES];
video2Save.downloadComplete = YES;
[YEPersistentModelHelper saveData:_downloadVideos ToDiskWithIdentifier:persistentIdDownloadedVideos];
NSLog(#"file downloading complete : %#", video2Save.localFilePath);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"file downloading error : %#", [error localizedDescription]);
}];
[downloadRequest start];*/
with the following:
NSURLSessionDownloadTask *downloadTask = [_sessionManager downloadTaskWithRequest:request progress:&progress destination:^NSURL *(NSURL *targetPath, NSURLResponse *response) {
NSURL *documentsDirectoryURL = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomain:NSUserDomainMask appropriateForURL:nil create:NO error:nil];
return [documentsDirectoryURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#.mp4",video2Save.videoVersionId]];
} completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSURL *filePath, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"File downloaded to: %#", filePath);
video2Save.localFilePath = [[filePath filePathURL] absoluteString];
video2Save.downloadComplete = YES;
[YEPersistentModelHelper saveData:_downloadVideos ToDiskWithIdentifier:persistentIdDownloadedVideos];
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *err = nil;
NSDictionary *att = [fileManager attributesOfItemAtPath:video2Save.localFilePath error:&err];
NSLog(#"NSDictionary: %#", att);
}];
[downloadTask resume];
And it seems to work fine. The complete-block is executed & the file exists at the traced target.
The problem is, that I am no longer available to play the video! I use the MPMoviePlayerController which throws this useful error:
_itemFailedToPlayToEnd: { kind = 1; new = 2; old = 0; }
The only difference seems to be the file-permissions. The first one adds a "staff"-group & everyone is allowed to read while the second only grants access for "me". But even if I change it in the finder I am not able to play it...
Does anyone has an idea!?

Answer 1

to save location file use path no absoluteString
video2Save.localFilePath = [[filePath filePathURL] absoluteString];
don't call absoluteString even to play.. just use the path
like this for example to call the video
NSURL *FilePathURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[docDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileToCheck]];
[[myvideoCalss :[FilePathURL path]]
