Problems with QTMovie and .m3u8

Question

I'm trying to make an app for OS X for playing .m3u8 urls videos.

I tried to use this code:

NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"url.m3u8"];
QTMovie* movie = [[QTMovie alloc] initWithURL: movieURL error: nil]; 
[_movieView setMovie:movie]; 
[_movieView play: self];

But the video doesn't start, and I get a "-2048" error.

What am I doing wrong?

I also tried

[_movieView setMovie:[QTMovie movieWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://url.m3u8"] error:nil]];

Answer 1

Have a look in MacErrors.h. The -2048 error resolves to noMovieFound. This means that your movie URL is incorrect.

When you use the setMovie:error: message, pass in an NSError object so you can see what the error is! That's the whole point of the NSError parameter.
