I'm working on a MV-HEVC transcoder, based on the VTEncoderForTranscoding sample code. In swift the following code snippet generates a linker error on macOS 14.0 and 14.1. let err = VTCompressionSessionEncodeMultiImageFrame(compressionSession, taggedBuffers: taggedBuffers, presentationTimeStamp: pts, duration: .invalid, frameProperties: nil, infoFlagsOut: nil) { (status: OSStatus, infoFlags: VTEncodeInfoFlags, sbuf: CMSampleBuffer?) -> Void in outputHandler(status, infoFlags, sbuf, thisFrameNumber) } Error: ld: Undefined symbols: VideoToolbox.VTCompressionSessionEncodeMultiImageFrame(_: __C.VTCompressionSessionRef, taggedBuffers: [CoreMedia.CMTaggedBuffer], presentationTimeStamp: __C.CMTime, duration: __C.CMTime, frameProperties: __C.CFDictionaryRef?, infoFlagsOut: Swift.UnsafeMutablePointer<__C.VTEncodeInfoFlags>?, outputHandler: (Swift.Int32, __C.VTEncodeInfoFlags, __C.CMSampleBufferRef?) -> ()) -> Swift.Int32, referenced from: (3) suspend resume partial function for VTEncoderForTranscoding_Swift.(compressFrames in _FE7277D5F28D8DABDFC10EA0164D825D)(from: VTEncoderForTranscoding_Swift.VideoSource, options: VTEncoderForTranscoding_Swift.Options, expectedFrameRate: Swift.Float, outputHandler: @Sendable (Swift.Int32, __C.VTEncodeInfoFlags, __C.CMSampleBufferRef?, Swift.Int) -> ()) async throws -> () in VTEncoderForTranscoding.o Using VTCompressionSessionEncodeMultiImageFrameWithOutputHandler in ObjC doesn't trigger a linker error. Anybody knows how to get it to work in Swift?

In MacOS14 system, the transparency of CMSampleBuffer is 0. Why after sending through the send function of CMIOExtensionStream, the receiving end uses AVCaptureSession to addOutput: AVCaptureVideoDataOutput object, AVCaptureVideoDataOutput sets videoSettings to kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey: @(kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA), the receiving end's receiving delegate method - (void)captureOutput:( AVCaptureOutput *)output didOutputSampleBuffer:(CMSampleBufferRef)sampleBuffer fromConnection:(AVCaptureConnection *)connection The transparency of the sampleBuffer returned is actually 255. The correct sampleBuffer transparency of the MacOS13 system is 0. In this case, how can I return the same as the 13 system? What needs to be set? Attribute?

We are currently working on a real-time, low-latency solution for video conferencing scenarios and have encountered some issues with the current implementation of the encoder. We need a feature enhancement for the Videotoolbox encoder. In our use case, we need to control the encoding quality, which requires setting the maximum encoding QP. However, the kVTCompressionPropertyKey_MaxAllowedFrameQP only takes effect in the kVTVideoEncoderSpecification_EnableLowLatencyRateControl mode. In this mode, when the maximum QP is limited and the bitrate is insufficient, the encoder will drop frames. Our desired scenario is for the encoder to not actively drop frames when the maximum QP is limited. Instead, when the bitrate is insufficient, the encoder should be able to encode the frame with the maximum QP, allowing the frame size to be larger. This would provide a more seamless experience for users in video conferencing situations, where maintaining consistent video quality is crucial. It is worth noting that Android has already implemented this feature in Android 12, which demonstrates the value and feasibility of this enhancement. We kindly request that you consider adding support for external control of frame dropping in the Videotoolbox encoder to accommodate our needs. This enhancement would greatly benefit our project and others that require real-time, low-latency video encoding solutions.

Hello! I'm trying to display AVPlayerViewController in a separate WindowGroup - my main window opens a new window where the only element is a struct that implements UIViewControllerRepresentable for AVPlayerViewController: @MainActor public struct AVPlayerView: UIViewControllerRepresentable { public let assetName: String public init(assetName: String) { self.assetName = assetName } public func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> AVPlayerViewController { let controller = AVPlayerViewController() controller.player = AVPlayer() return controller } public func updateUIViewController(_ controller: AVPlayerViewController, context: Context) { Task { if context.coordinator.assetName != assetName { let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: assetName, withExtension: ".mp4") guard let url else { return } controller.player?.replaceCurrentItem(with: AVPlayerItem(url: url)) controller.player?.play() context.coordinator.assetName = assetName } } } public static func dismantleUIViewController(_ controller: AVPlayerViewController, coordinator: Coordinator) { controller.player?.pause() controller.player = nil } public func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator { return Coordinator() } public class Coordinator: NSObject { public var assetName: String? } } WindowGroup(id: Window.videoPlayer.rawValue) { AVPlayerView(assetName: "wwdc") .onDisappear { print("DISAPPEAR") } } This displays the video player in non-inline mode and plays the video. The problem appears when I try to close the video player's window using the close button. Sound from the video continues playing in the background. I've tried to clean the state myself by using dismantleUIViewController and onDisapear methods, but they are not called by the system (it works correctly if a window doesn't contain AVPlayerView). This appear on Xcode 15.1 Beta 3 (I haven't tested it on other versions). Is there something I do incorrectly that is causing this issue, or is it a bug and I need to wait until its fixed?

When I upload a preview video to ASC (which conforms to preview specifications), the uploaded video it uploaded correctly in the first place. During upload to ASC it shows a blurred image of the first video frame. So far so good. But, once upload is finished the video turns into a "cloud" image and says it is currently processed. The problem is that it gets stuck in the status „currently processed“ forever. I waited a few days but processing did never end. To make it worse the landscape "cloud" image turns into a portrait when I come back to the ASC media center. The problem : is reproducible occurs on different video files occurs on different appIDs occurs on all iPhone resolutions This is a serious bug. I can’t finalise my app submission. Any ideas ?

Hi, I've started learning swiftUI a few months ago, and now I'm trying to build my first app :) I am trying to display VTT subtitles from an external URL into a streaming video using AVPlayer and AVMutableComposition. I have been trying for a few days, checking online and on Apple's documentation, but I can't manage to make it work. So far, I managed to display the subtitles, but there is no video or audio playing... Could someone help? Thanks in advance, I hope the code is not too confusing. // EpisodeDetailView.swift // OroroPlayer_v1 // // Created by Juan Valenzuela on 2023-11-25. // import AVKit import SwiftUI struct EpisodeDetailView4: View { @State private var episodeDetailVM = EpisodeDetailViewModel() let episodeID: Int @State private var player = AVPlayer() @State private var subs = AVPlayer() var body: some View { VideoPlayer(player: player) .ignoresSafeArea() .task { do { try await episodeDetailVM.fetchEpisode(id: episodeID) let episode = episodeDetailVM.episodeDetail guard let videoURLString = episode.url else { print("Invalid videoURL or missing data") return } guard let subtitleURLString = episode.subtitles?[0].url else { print("Invalid subtitleURLs or missing data") return } let videoURL = URL(string: videoURLString)! let subtitleURL = URL(string: subtitleURLString)! let videoAsset = AVURLAsset(url: videoURL) let subtitleAsset = AVURLAsset(url: subtitleURL) let movieWithSubs = AVMutableComposition() let videoTrack = movieWithSubs.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: .video, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid) let audioTrack = movieWithSubs.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: .audio, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid) let subtitleTrack = movieWithSubs.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: .text, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid) // if let videoTrackItem = try await videoAsset.loadTracks(withMediaType: .video).first { try await videoTrack?.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(start: .zero, duration: videoAsset.load(.duration)), of: videoTrackItem, at: .zero) } if let audioTrackItem = try await videoAsset.loadTracks(withMediaType: .audio).first { try await audioTrack?.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(start: .zero, duration: videoAsset.load(.duration)), of: audioTrackItem, at: .zero) } if let subtitleTrackItem = try await subtitleAsset.loadTracks(withMediaType: .text).first { try await subtitleTrack?.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(start: .zero, duration: videoAsset.load(.duration)), of: subtitleTrackItem, at: .zero) } let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: movieWithSubs) player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem) let playerController = AVPlayerViewController() playerController.player = player playerController.player?.play() // player.play() } catch { print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } } #Preview { EpisodeDetailView4(episodeID: 39288) }

Is there a way to play a specific rectangular region of interest of a video in an arbitrarily-sized view? Let's say I have a 1080p video but I'm only interested in a sub-region of the full frame. Is there a way to specify a source rect to be displayed in an arbitrary view (SwiftUI view, ideally), and have it play that in real time, without having to pre-render the cropped region? Update: I may have found a solution here: img DOT ly/blog/trim-and-crop-video-in-swift/ (Apple won't allow that URL for some dumb reason)

Who can I contact that can remove the gray frame from around the full screen video player on my iOS mobile application? This is an Apple iOS feature that I have no control over. The screenshot attached below shows the full screen view of a video when the iOS mobile phone is held sideways. The issue is the big gray frame that is around the video, is taking up too much space from the video and it needs to be removed so the video can be fully screened.

我使用VideoToolBox库进行编码后再通过NDI发送到网络上，是可以成功再苹果电脑上接收到ndi源屏显示画面的，但是在windows上只能ndi源名称，并没有画面显示。 我想知道是不是使用VideoToolBox库无法在windows上进行正确编码，这个问题需要如何解决

I am using the official website API to decode now, the callback did not trigger.

Hi, I am looking at display some spatial video content captured on iPhone 15 Pros in a side-by-side format. I've read the HEVC Stereo Video Profile provided by Apple, but I am confused on access the left and right eye video. Looking at the AVAsset track information, there is one video track, one sound, and three metadata ones. Apple's document references them as layers, but I am unsure how to access them. Could anyone provide some guidance on the access of them? Thanks, Will

Hello, can anybody help me with this ? I am downloading video in FS, and when I give that url to player it gives me this error. but this comes up only in case of m3u8. other format like mp4 are working fine locally. please help ! {"error": {"code": -12865, "domain": "CoreMediaErrorDomain", "localizedDescription": "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreMediaErrorDomain error -12865.)", "localizedFailureReason": "", "localizedRecoverySuggestion": ""}, "target": 13367}

When I try to play video on my Apple Vision Pro simulator using a custom view with an AVPlayerLayer (as seen in my below VideoPlayerView), nothing displays but a black screen while the audio for the video i'm trying to play plays in the background. I've tried everything I can think of to resolve this issue, but to no avail. import SwiftUI import AVFoundation import AVKit struct VideoPlayerView: UIViewRepresentable { var player: AVPlayer func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UIView { let view = UIView(frame: .zero) let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player) playerLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspect view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer) return view } func updateUIView(_ uiView: UIView, context: Context) { if let layer = uiView.layer.sublayers?.first as? AVPlayerLayer { layer.frame = uiView.bounds } } } I have noticed however that if i use the default VideoPlayer (as demonstrated below), and not my custom VideoPlayerView, the video displays just fine, but any modifiers I use on that VideoPlayer (like the ones in my above custom struct), cause the video to display black while the audio plays in the background. import SwiftUI import AVKit struct MyView: View { var player: AVPlayer var body: some View { ZStack { VideoPlayer(player: player) Does anyone know a solution to this problem to make it so that video is able to display properly and not just appear as a black screen with audio playing in the background?

HELP! How could I play a spatial video in my own vision pro app like the official app Photos? I've used API of AVKit to play a spatial video in XCode vision pro simulator with the guild of the official developer document, this video could be played but it seems different with what is played through app Photos. In Photos the edge of the video seems fuzzy but in my own app it has a clear edge. How could I play the spatial video in my own app with the effect like what is in Photos?

Does Video Toolbox’s compression session yield data I can decompress on a different device that doesn’t have Apple’s decompression? i.e. so I can network data to other devices that aren’t necessarily Apple? or is the format proprietary rather than just regular h.264 (for example)? If I can decompress without video toolbox, may I have reference to some examples for how to do this using cross-platform APIs? Maybe FFMPEG has something?

Is AVQT capable of being used to measure encoding quality of PQ or HLG based content beyond SDR? If so, how am I able to leverage it. If not, is there a roadmap for timing to enable this type of tool?

Does the new MV-HEVC vision pro spatial video format supports having an alpha channel? I've tried converting a side by side video with alpha channel enabled by using this Apple example project, but the alpha channel is being removed. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/media_reading_and_writing/converting_side-by-side_3d_video_to_multiview_hevc

Hi everyone, I need to add spatial video maker in my app which was wrote in objective-c. I found some reference code by swift, can you help me with converting the code to objective -c? let left = CMTaggedBuffer( tags: [.stereoView(.leftEye), .videoLayerID(leftEyeLayerIndex)], pixelBuffer: leftEyeBuffer) let right = CMTaggedBuffer( tags: [.stereoView(.rightEye), .videoLayerID(rightEyeLayerIndex)], pixelBuffer: rightEyeBuffer) let result = adaptor.appendTaggedBuffers( [left, right], withPresentationTime: leftPresentationTs)

How Can I update the cookies of the previously set m3u8 video in AVPlayer without creating the new AVURLAsset and replacing the AVPlayer current Item with it

Hi, Could you please explain how to use SF Symbols animations in Final Cut? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you!
