    <p>When I try to load a video, I'm getting a SIGABRT thrown. Below is my code. If anybody could let me know why I'm getting this error, that would be great. The signal is being thrown for the line: theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];</p> <p>Two questions: what is wrong with my code? and what does SIGABRT usually mean?</p> <pre><code>#import "Video.h" #import "MyManager.h" </code></pre> <p>#import </p> <pre><code>@implementation Video MPMoviePlayerController* theMovie; - (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil { self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]; if (self) { } return self; } - (void)dealloc{ [theMovie release]; [super dealloc]; } - (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning { // Releases the view if it doesn't have a superview. [super didReceiveMemoryWarning]; // Release any cached data, images, etc that aren't in use. } #pragma mark - View lifecycle - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; MyManager *sharedManager = [MyManager sharedManager]; NSString *tempName = sharedManager.vidName; NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:sharedManager.vidName ofType:@"mp4"]; theMovie = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(movieFinishedCallBack:) name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:theMovie]; theMovie.scalingMode = MPMovieScalingModeAspectFit; [theMovie.view setFrame:self.view.bounds]; [self.view addSubview:theMovie.view]; [theMovie play]; } -(void)movieFinishedCallBack:(NSNotification *) aNotification{ theMovie = [aNotification object]; [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:MPMoviePlayerPlaybackDidFinishNotification object:theMovie]; [theMovie.view removeFromSuperview]; [theMovie pause]; [theMovie stop]; } -(void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated{ [theMovie pause]; // assume myMoviePlayer is an instance variable [theMovie stop]; theMovie = nil; [theMovie release]; } - (void)viewDidUnload { [theMovie pause]; // assume myMoviePlayer is an instance variable [theMovie stop]; theMovie = nil; [theMovie release]; [super viewDidUnload]; } - (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation { // Return YES for supported orientations return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait); } @end </code></pre>

    1. CODo you know how to see the crash report? Checking there may be able to give you some clues. It could be caused by an uncaught exception

    2. CO@tams I'm very new to iPhone development and this is my first project ever in Objective-c. I don't know how to view the crash report. How can I get to that? Is that just what's in the output log? In the log it says: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'

    3. COok, I think if you are new you can start by debugging your view did load method. Place a breakpoint at the start of the method and step through the code. Make sure that all of your variables are correct and that your strings are getting set correctly. Perhaps the problem lies there.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
