ReplayKit – Recording Screen Video with Internal Audio - ios

Recently while working on a project, I need to record system screen with the App audio as well as microphone audio.
I tried following solutions.
With the help of Replay kit and its function startRecording
Before Calling Function
recorder.isMicrophoneEnabled = true
startRecording(r: recorder)
func startRecording(_ r: RPScreenRecorder) {
r.startRecording(handler: { (error: Error?) -> Void in
if error == nil { // Recording has started
// sender.title = "Stop"
self.recorder.isMicrophoneEnabled = true
} else {
// Handle error
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Unknown error")
}
})
}
The problem is that the video records and saved to camera roll but neither App Audio and nor Mic Audio Records in the saved video
Then I tried with the screenCapture Function Of Replay Kit. The code is given below
//MARK: Screen Recording
func startRecording(withFileName fileName: String, recordingHandler:#escaping (Error?)-> Void)
{
if #available(iOS 11.0, *)
{
let fileURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: ReplayFileUtil.filePath(fileName))
// let updatedFileUrl = fileURL.appendingPathExtension(".mp4")
// removeFile(fileURL)
let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)
let documentsDirectory = paths[0] as String
let filePath : String = "\(documentsDirectory)/Replays/\(fileName)"
if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: filePath) {
print("sucess")
}
do {
assetWriter = try? AVAssetWriter.init(url: fileURL, fileType: .mp4)

if assetWriter.canAdd(videoInput) {
print("Added video Input")
assetWriter.add(videoInput)
}
assetWriter.add(audioInput)
self.assetWriter.startWriting()
RPScreenRecorder.shared().isMicrophoneEnabled = true
let time = CMTime.init(value: 10, timescale: 1)

}
}
}
}) { (error) in
recordingHandler(error)
print(error?.localizedDescription)
}
} else
{
// Fallback on earlier versions
}
}
Please suggest me what I doing wrong.

iOS Merge consecutive videos segments into one final video with AVFoundation

I'm working on a project that needs to record video segments and then merge these segments in one video. I'm using AVFoundation framework to do so.
The problem is that when I merge the segments, there's always a black frame or no sound between the chunks. Also, sometimes the sound is not synchronised after merging.
I've tried many options to solve this problem but didn't find a good solution.
I've tried many solutions on Stack overflow but none of them worked.
I've also tried to use MKOVideoMerge but I still have the problem.
I've made a small View controller below that records video camera and create a new segment every 10 seconds. When the user taps on "stop", all the segments are merged and saved to camera roll :
If anyone have managed to merge two video segments without dropping frame or sound, help would be much appreciated :)

ReplayKit saving video fails first try with mic

Scenario 1:
Fire up AVAssetWriter with Audio / Video writer input.
Use RPScreenRecorder to start recording with no microphone and process the sample buffers.
File writes out fine to Photos on first try.
Scenario 2:
Fire up AVAssetWriter with Audio / Video writer input.
Use RPScreenRecorder to start recording with microphone enabled and process the sample buffers.
File writes fails to write out on the first try.

Added retry logic to circumvent the issue. Not the greatest solution but it works.

iOS how to correctly handle orientation when capturing video using AVAssetWriter

I am making a sample application that utilizes AVFoundation to record video. The whole point is so I can have more control over how the video is recorded. In my sample project I have the video capturing but am struggling with handling orientation correctly.
I have done a lot of searching around the web and found that others are suggesting that I should NOT allow my capture view or capture session to rotate based on orientation, but rather set a transformation to rotate the video during playback. I have this working fine on iOS and Mac devices, but am wondering if I will have issues on other platforms such as Windows or Android.
Also, when I view the recorded video's metadata I see that the width and height are not set properly for the orientation. This makes sense as I am only transforming the presentation of the video and not it's actual resolution.
My question here is how do I correctly support portrait and landscape orientations and have it reflected correctly in the video file output? I need these videos to play on all platforms correctly so I am thinking the resolution is going to matter a great deal.
Below is the full source I have written thus far. I appreciate any advice you all can provide.

Video orientation is handled by the AVAssetWriterInput.transform, looks like the getVideoTransform() implementation is not correct - CGAffineTransform expects the rotation angle to be in radians, so need to change to something like this:
private func getVideoTransform() -> CGAffineTransform {
switch UIDevice.current.orientation {
case .portrait:
return .identity
case .portraitUpsideDown:
return CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: .pi)
case .landscapeLeft:
return CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: .pi/2)
case .landscapeRight:
return CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: -.pi/2)
default:
return .identity
}
}
From Apple Technical Q&A:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1744/_index.html
If you are using an AVAssetWriter object to write a movie file, you
can use the transform property of the associated AVAssetWriterInput to
specify the output file orientation. This will write a display
transform property into the output file as the preferred
transformation of the visual media data for display purposes. See the
AVAssetWriterInput.h interface file for the details.
I have found a solution to my problem. The solution is to export the video using AVAssetExportSession to handle setting the video size and then handling the rotation at the time of export and not during recording. I still have an issue were I need to fix the scale factor to go from my original video size to a smaller 640x480 resolution, but at least I solved my rotation issues. Please see updated code below.

I found that the easiest is to set the preferredTransform on the video composition track depending on the required orientation.
Solution
// Devices orientation
var orientation = UIDevice.current.orientation
// The composition
let audioVideoComposition = AVMutableComposition()
// The video track of the composition
let videoCompositionTrack = audioVideoComposition
.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: .video, preferredTrackID: .init())!
// Set preferred transform
videoCompositionTrack.preferredTransform = getVideoTransform()
Helper function and extension
func getVideoTransform() -> CGAffineTransform {
switch orientation {
case .portrait:
return CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: 90.degreesToRadians)
case .portraitUpsideDown:
return CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: 180)
case .landscapeLeft:
return CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: 0.degreesToRadians)
case .landscapeRight:
return CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: 180.degreesToRadians)
default:
return CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: 90.degreesToRadians)
}
}
extension BinaryInteger {
var degreesToRadians: CGFloat { CGFloat(self) * .pi / 180 }
}
extension FloatingPoint {
var degreesToRadians: Self { self * .pi / 180 }
var radiansToDegrees: Self { self * 180 / .pi }
}

nil while unwrapping an optinal value SWIFT [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What does "Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value" mean?
(16 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have downloaded a project from https://github.com/doberman/speaker-gender-detect--ios. I followed the instructions but when I run the app, I get a message that says: fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value. How can I fix the crash so that the app works.
The app crashes here:

Swift audio recording and tableview display

I am having trouble recording audio and displaying it in a tableview. I am able to record and immediately play it back, but the audio doesn't seem to actually be stored to the device permanently, so I am unable to call it from the tableview. The directory also seems to change each time the app is open. How can I correct my code for permanent save and recall when populating tableview rows?
func record() {
let audioSession:AVAudioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
if (audioSession.respondsToSelector("requestRecordPermission:")) {
AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().requestRecordPermission({(granted: Bool)-> Void in
if granted {
print("granted")
try! audioSession.setCategory(AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayAndRecord)
try! audioSession.setActive(true)
let documentsDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)[0]
let fullPath = (documentsDirectory as NSString).stringByAppendingPathComponent("Mobile.PCM")
let url = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(fullPath)
print(fullPath)
let settings: [String : AnyObject] = [
AVFormatIDKey:Int(kAudioFormatAppleIMA4),
AVSampleRateKey:44100.0,
AVNumberOfChannelsKey:2,
AVEncoderBitRateKey:12800,
AVLinearPCMBitDepthKey:16,
AVEncoderAudioQualityKey:AVAudioQuality.Max.rawValue
]
try! self.audioRecorder = AVAudioRecorder(URL: url, settings: settings)
self.audioRecorder.meteringEnabled = true
self.audioRecorder.record()
} else{
print("not granted")
}
})
}
}
I am able to record and save with this:
#IBAction func record(sender: UIButton) {
if player != nil && player.playing {
player.stop()
}
if recorder == nil {
print("recording. recorder nil")
// recordButton.setTitle("Pause", forState:.Normal)
playButton.enabled = false
stopButton.enabled = true
recordWithPermission(true)
return
}
if recorder != nil && recorder.recording {
print("pausing")
recorder.pause()
recordButton.setTitle("Continue", forState:.Normal)
} else {
print("recording")
// recordButton.setTitle("Pause", forState:.Normal)
playButton.enabled = false
stopButton.enabled = true
recordWithPermission(false)
}

print(currentFileName)

]
do {
recorder = try AVAudioRecorder(URL: soundFileURL, settings: recordSettings)
recorder.delegate = self
recorder.meteringEnabled = true
recorder.prepareToRecord() soundFileURL
} catch let error as NSError {
recorder = nil
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
func recordWithPermission(setup:Bool) {
let session:AVAudioSession = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance()
if (session.respondsToSelector("requestRecordPermission:")) {
AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().requestRecordPermission({(granted: Bool)-> Void in
if granted {
print("Permission to record granted")
self.setSessionPlayAndRecord()
if setup {
self.setupRecorder()
}
self.recorder.record()
self.meterTimer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(0.1,

selector:"updateAudioMeter:",
userInfo:nil,
repeats:true)
} else {
print("Permission to record not granted")
}
})
} else {
print("requestRecordPermission unrecognized")
}
}
I am able to recall it in a TableView with this:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.reloadData()
listRecordings()
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell: UITableViewCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell")!
cell.textLabel!.text = recordings[indexPath.row].lastPathComponent
return cell
}
func listRecordings() {
let documentsDirectory = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask)[0]
do {
let urls = try NSFileManager.defaultManager().contentsOfDirectoryAtURL(documentsDirectory, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil, options: NSDirectoryEnumerationOptions.SkipsHiddenFiles)
self.recordings = urls.filter( { (name: NSURL) -> Bool in
return name.lastPathComponent!.hasSuffix("caf")
})
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error.localizedDescription)
} catch {
print("something went wrong")
}
}
