    Default File Path & "shortcut/alias" in iPhone?

    Hi,
    I am struggling to create an icon on my home screen that would launch a video stored in my iPhone!

    Could someone that understands a little bit of code please help? (useless to say that I don't...)

    If my video file has the following location path:
    sftp://iPhone.local./private/var/mobile/Applications/AppNumber/Documents/Video.m4v
    (I am connected to the "/root" directory through sftp - reason why I believe it starts with sftp://...)
    • what file path/address should I call when I try to launch that video (because it is local, should it say "file://iPhone.local./private/etc..." or "file://root/private/etc..." or "file:///private/etc...")?
    • and how can I create an icon on my home screen to act as a shortcut/alias to launch that video?
    • (I tried to use an App from the Apple Store that is just a black button acting as a shortcut for an URL, but when trying to input the address file mentioned previously for the URL, it didn't work (of course...)

    Thank you for any help with this

    go from private/var/mobile/library/video <<== make a video folder in the library or go from /var/mobile/media/video <<== make a video folder in the media folder also.

    Ok, I can create the video folder in either of those locations, but then how do I create the shortcut/icon on my iPhone's Homescreen?
    Sorry if I'm a little bit slow, but don't know much about programing...
