Accessing Audio Files

Objective-C, through the AVFoundation framework, offers robust support for handling audio files. To access an audio file, we utilize the AVAudioPlayer class.

Initializing AVAudioPlayer

We start by creating an instance of AVAudioPlayer and initializing it with the URL of the audio file:

NSURL *audioURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/path/to/audio/file"];
AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:audioURL error:nil];

Playing and Pausing Audio

Once initialized, we can use the `play` method to start playing the audio file:

[audioPlayer play];

To pause the audio playback, we utilize the `pause` method:

[audioPlayer pause];

Accessing Video Files

Working with video files in Objective-C also leverages the AVFoundation framework. Here's how we can access video content:

Initializing AVPlayerItem

We start by creating an instance of AVPlayerItem and initializing it with the URL of the video file:

NSURL *videoURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"/path/to/video/file"];
AVPlayerItem *playerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithURL:videoURL];

Displaying Video Content

To display the video content, we create an instance of AVPlayer and associate it with the AVPlayerItem:

AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:playerItem];

We then use AVPlayerLayer to present the video content on the screen:

AVPlayerLayer *playerLayer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:player];
playerLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 240);
[self.view.layer addSublayer:playerLayer];
