Hi,

     I've an app that plays videos fine that we package with the app. But when I place new videos

in the DocumentsDirectory it won't play them. The videos are there as I can see them in  itunes

FileSharing.

     Even if I copy the packaged video that plays to the documentsDirectory it will no longer play

from there.

     This is on an iPad iOS 5.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

From my understanding, when publishing out the .ipa, only those local files specifically embedded at publish time will be played. These files are also linked to their location, so moving them from this location will not work.
