Plugin 'CDVVideo' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin.

[lancevo]

Hi there,
Thank you for your plug-in. I followed your instruction, and when I run CDVVideo.play(vidUrl, 'YES'), my console log says the CDVVideo is not found. Any ideas? I'm using cordova 2.5.0

Hi, sorry I didn't see this earlier. Did you drop the .h and .m files into the right place? And update Cordova.plist to reference it? If so, it's possible that the latest versions of Cordova have a different plugin system...

Hi there, Thank you so much for your plug-in, just what am looking. Am getting the below in my console log though is there anything i have to do to ref a local file with the plugin?

Ouch, that sounds like like the video URL is not getting passed along correctly. Do you have a complete stack trace at the exception? Is the exception being thrown in CDVVideo.m or MovieViewController.m? And to confirm, you are calling the video in Javascript with something like CDVVideo.play(stream, 'NO')?

Hello,

I had the same problem. I just changed a line that was broken (I think). I changed this:
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundFilePath];

to
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:movie];

I don't know if this is the possible fix, but it worked for me :)

Paul, that then means that your URL isn't an HTTP or HTTPS URL. Is is a file one?

Specifically, the lines you mention are:

NSArray *fileNameArr = [movie componentsSeparatedByString:@"."];
NSString *prefix = [fileNameArr objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *suffix = [fileNameArr objectAtIndex:1];
NSString *soundFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:prefix ofType:suffix];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:soundFilePath];

It's trying to look up the file inside the app bundle and expects the URL to be of the format movie.ext. Note that there is no file:///.

[glemmaPaul]

Yes i have changed the code because someway the soundFilePath variable was nil.

In the javascript code I wanted to play a recorded video from the capture class from Cordova. So it's not a reliable fix I think. But fileURL is giving a Exception because soundFilePath is empty.

Sorry for my bad english (Dutch person) and my lack of knowledge of Objective C haha! Just beginning to learn it!

[pr1001]

Sorry, I have no experience with Cordova's capture functionality. But yes, it's logical that the capture information doesn't correspond to an actual file in the app bundle.

And no need to apologize for your English, it's quite good! I'm also in the Netherlands and if you want to learn more about Objective-C, you could join our CocoaHeads meeting on Wednesday (2013-06-19).

Hello, thank you for the pluggin. I have the same problem with the Plugin "'CDVVideo' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin". I am using phonegap 2.9.0. I have setup everything as instructed I think. Where should I put the *.h and *.m files. This is my project directory structure.

\Cordoba29
\Cordoba29\cordova
\Cordoba29\CordobaLib
\Cordoba29\MyProject
\Cordoba29\MyProject\Classes
\Cordoba29\MyProject\Plugins *
\Cordoba29\MyProject\Resources
\Cordoba29\MyProject.xcodeproj
\www

I have put them in the Plugins directory. Is this correct? Please help.

Hi I'm fairly new to Cordova/Phonegap. I'm having trouble adding this plugin to the latest 3.0.8 version of Cordova with the config.xml, as opposed to the older Cordova.plist scheme. Can some provide some further instruction for including this plugin for projects using newer versions of Phonegap?
Thanks,
Matt
