After iOS reinstall/restore the app container UUID rotates, which left both the persisted source.url and the security-scoped bookmark pointing at a no-longer-current path. Files derived a stale absolute path that got appended onto the resolved bookmark, producing doubled URLs that MPV could not load. - Resolve the base URL by picking whichever of the bookmark or source.url actually exists on disk. - Compute MediaFile relative paths against the resolved root so they survive later container changes. - Hold the security-scoped resource access for the source's lifetime via a shared resolver, so MPV can open files long after the directory enumeration that resolved the bookmark has returned. - Normalize legacy absolute paths embedded in old recents/history video IDs so they re-resolve under the current container.
