Adding a Video file from library to application? - ios

Question

I am currently working on uploading Photos and videos to my app. So far I got the photo uploading done, but when I access my library on my iPad, I can't see my videos or choose them. Anyone who knows how I can do this?
This is my code so far:
Class SixthViewController: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate
{
#IBOutlet weak var logUd: UIButton!
#IBOutlet weak var myImageView: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var vælgFiler: UIButton!
var SelectedAssets = [PHAsset]()
var PhotoArray = [UIImage]()
#IBOutlet weak var upload: UIButton!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
logUd.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
logUd.layer.cornerRadius = 7
logUd.setTitleColor(UIColor.black, for: .normal)
vælgFiler.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
vælgFiler.layer.cornerRadius = 7
vælgFiler.setTitleColor(UIColor.black, for: .normal)
upload.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
upload.layer.cornerRadius = 7
upload.setTitleColor(UIColor.black, for: .normal)
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#IBAction func logUd(_ sender: Any) {
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
#IBAction func upload(_ sender: Any) {
//myImageUploadRequest()
}
#IBAction func vælgFiler(_ sender: Any) {
let vc = BSImagePickerViewController()
self.bs_presentImagePickerController(vc, animated: true,
select: { (assets: PHAsset) -> Void in
},deselect: { (asset: PHAsset) -> Void in
},cancel: {(assets: [PHAsset]) -> Void in
}, finish: {(assets: [PHAsset]) -> Void in
for i in 0..<assets.count{
self.SelectedAssets.append(assets[i])
}
self.convertAssetToImages()
}, completion: nil)
}
func convertAssetToImages() -> Void {
if SelectedAssets.count != 0{
for i in 0..<SelectedAssets.count{
let manager = PHImageManager.default()
let option = PHImageRequestOptions()
var thumbnail = UIImage()
option.isSynchronous = true
manager.requestImage(for: SelectedAssets[i], targetSize: CGSize(width: 200, height: 200), contentMode: .aspectFill, options: option, resultHandler: {(result, info)->Void in thumbnail = result!
})
let data = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(thumbnail, 0.7)
let newImage = UIImage(data: data!)
self.PhotoArray.append(newImage! as UIImage)
}
self.myImageView.animationImages = self.PhotoArray
self.myImageView.animationDuration = 10.0
self.myImageView.startAnimating()
}
print("complete photo array \(self.PhotoArray)")
}

If you would want BSImagePicker to be able to show videos as well as photos you will have to change the source of the library.
There is a file called PhotosViewController that displays the grid of photos. Inside is initializePhotosDataSource method that filters out all videos and displays only photos with:
fetchOptions.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "mediaType = %d", PHAssetMediaType.image.rawValue)
if you were to delete this predicate from fetchOptions the library will (and I have tested this) show videos along with photos...
