Video upload into server in iOS - ios

Question

Am trying to upload a videos to server. I have two choice to upload videos. First one is, Take video and upload it to server. Second one is, Choose video from photo library and upload it to server.
Step 1:
In this scenario, Take video and upload it to server is working good.
I got the response from server is "Return String: {"jsonstatus":"ok","message":"Thanks for your posting."}".
Now i try to get this video from server. In media_file it says "x.x.x.x/video/96b8954fbed797500da708fd7bad2261video.mov" - I played this video successfully.
Step 2:
But when i choose the video from photo library, it successfully choosed the video. Now i post this video to server.
I got the response from server is "Return String: {"jsonstatus":"ok","message":"Thanks for your posting."}".
Now i try to get this video from server. In media_file it says "Invalid File"
Am using to choose video is,
- (IBAction)act_UploadVideoBtn:(id)sender
{
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
imagePicker.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie, nil];
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
And Delegate method is,
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
// movieURL = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
//
// [picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
if (CFStringCompare ((__bridge CFStringRef) mediaType, kUTTypeMovie, 0) == kCFCompareEqualTo) {
NSString *moviePath = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] path];
// NSLog(#"%#",moviePath);
movieURL=(NSURL*)[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
if (UIVideoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum (moviePath)) {
UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum (moviePath, nil, nil, nil);
}
}
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}
Give any ideas to solve this issue.

Answer 1

Could you describe your server side? So far I understand that this may be a full url problem. Maybe snippets of your json? Perhaps look over your permissions on the folder you are writing into. If you are using ubuntu and lamp as a stack (noob i know) make sure it is r+w, but not exec.

//push video path to NSData
NSData *webData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:movieURL];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.example.com/upload_media.php"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSString *boundary = #"+++++ABck";
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data;
boundary=%#", boundary];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"YOURFILENAME\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[#"Content-Type: video/quicktime\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];//video/quicktime for .mov format
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:webData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary]
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[request setHTTPBody:body];
NSURLResponse *response;
NSError *error;
[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSLog(#"%#",response);
NSLog(#"%#",error);
