How to play a video from url using SKVideoNode?

Question

I'm getting the url using PHPickerViewControllerDelegate. I've confirmed that my url has properly feed into the code but when i play the video node, no video is displayed and i dont hear any sound, so it's not a layering issue. We can call this option 1.

UPDATE: I thought i could fix the problem by using AVPlayer, so i tried two additional ways, (Option 2) putting the video file in the project, which worked but doesn't fix my issue of pulling files from my local directory. (Option 3) using a video from local directory, which didn't work. The SKVideoNode box shows but no video plays.

This tells me, it has something to do with the local directory url. Is there some privacy thing i need to include, so the video shows? I'm so close but seem so far.
