Description

Returns the path to the directory where user movies are stored.

If the system running your application does not support the requested folder, or if the requested folder does not exist in the system, this function returns an empty string instead.

  • On Windows and OS X, it points to a user-specific, application-agnostic directory.
    Note: On OS X, for Sand-box mode, to access this path you have to add com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-only or com.apple.security.assets.movies.read-write to the Entitlement List.
  • On iOS Device, it returns an empty string as this directory is currently not supported.
  • On iOS Simulator and Android, it points to a user-specific, application-specific directory.
