Hi,

I've been investigating an issue where AVPlayerLayer doesn't render the video(audio only) occasionally, but if you pause the video and wait for 5 sec then play again, the video comes back...

I'm debugging on on iPhone 5s with iOS 10.0.1 (14A403).

I implemented AVPlayer like this:

     AVPlayer *player = [AVPlayer playerWithURL:url];

     [player play];

     AVPlayerLayer *layer = [AVPlayerLayer layer];

     layer.player = player;

     layer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 300);

     [self.view.layer addSublayer:layer];

And the issue NEVER HAPPEDNS on iOS 10 simulator and the same code also works fine on iOS 9 (both device and simulator).

Does anyone know if there is any other change in iOS 10 that I need to make?

Thanks in advance.

Happened to me when timeRange of audio track was longer than video track in AVMutableCompostion.

Same issue. I am using exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler to export video and AVVideoCompositionCoreAnimationTool to add water mark. But I havn't meet the issue in iOS 10.3 and later.

I found a solution to workaround. I used GPUImageFilter to render the watermark on the video. The GPUimageMovieCompostion will be use to composite video.
