I am using this code to play video file using avplayer how do I stop it
[videoView setHidden:NO];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path2 = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:saveFileName];
NSURL *url1 = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath: path2];
videoPlayer = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:url1] ;
self.avPlayerLayer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:videoPlayer];
//[self willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation];
avPlayerLayer.frame = videoView.bounds;
[self.videoView.layer addSublayer: avPlayerLayer];
[self.videoPlayer play];
I tried this it doesn't work
//[self.videoPlayer release];
