pod 'CameraManager', '~> 2.2’

only 2.1.3 is the top version and available.

Hi, im running camera manager on XCode 7.2 using Swift 2.0 and am having an issue with zoom. I downloaded your example and everything seems to be working just fine, but when I add it to a blank project using Carthage, it wont zoom. I added a sub view to my view, created an outlet and the camera image shows up but when I pinch to zoom nothing happens. I'm wondering if I have to add some sort of setting to the cameraView or set some flag for zoom to work? Sorry if it's something obvious, im just not seeing it.

Thank you.

please help me

Hi,

When I try to switch between front and back camera whilst recording, cameraManager.stopRecordingVideo({ (videoURL, error) -> Void in }) is never called.

Any ideas why?

Thanks

It only happens when the video is longer than around 10 seconds. Easy to reproduce in sample project. That asset's tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio) is empty 😢

I setup the cameraManager as follows, and the back camera was presented in the preview layer instead of the front camera. This only happened one time.

CameraManager.sharedInstance.addPreviewLayerToView(self.previewView!)
CameraManager.sharedInstance.cameraDevice = .Front
CameraManager.sharedInstance.cameraOutputMode = .StillImage
CameraManager.sharedInstance.cameraOutputQuality = .High

I am able to generate a bridge file in objective c to use CameraManager.swift class but the the generated objective C methods from the swift file does not have the required functions.
Please let me know how this can be used in objective c.

I would like to be able to have views on top of the preview layer, i.e. have buttons added to the container view AFTER CameraManager.sharedInstance.addPreviewLayerToView(self.view) is called and have those views appear on top of the preview layer.

There should be a variable, mirrorOutput that flips the output and the preview layer along the y axis.

Something like:

var mirrorOutput = false {
    willSet {
         switch self.cameraOutputModel {
             case .VideoWithMic, VideoOnly:
                 if let connections = self.movieOutput?.connections {
                     for connection in connections {
                         for port in connection.inputPort {
                             if let videoConnection = connection as? AVCaptureConnection where port.mediaType = AVMediaTypeVideo && videoConnection.supportsVideoMirroring {
                                    videoConnection.videoMirrored = true
                             }
                         }
                 }
         }
    }
}

That's the general gist of it.

Need to update to add zoom. Mentioned before. This is a key aspect of a camera.

should be capturePictureWithCompletion

Hi,

I am trying to setup video recording. I have the following code:

    let cameraManager = CameraManager()

    cameraManager.cameraDevice = .Back
    cameraManager.cameraOutputMode = .VideoWithMic
    cameraManager.cameraOutputQuality = .High
    cameraManager.writeFilesToPhoneLibrary = true

    cameraManager.addPreviewLayerToView(self.imageView)


    cameraManager.startRecordingVideo()

I get the following error when startRecordingVideo is called:

2015-12-23 22:52:25.643 RocketBash[1503:819683] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '* -[AVCaptureMovieFileOutput startRecordingToOutputFileURL:recordingDelegate:] - no active/enabled connections.'

Anything else I need to do? or something I have done in error?

'stringByAppendingPathExtension' is unavailable: Use URLByAppendingPathExtension on NSURL instead.

When I integrate CameraManager in my project via CocoaPods, it doesn't see the CameraManager class. The compiler says "Use of unresolved identifier 'CameraManager'. Is there anything special I should do to expose CameraManager class to my Swift classes? Obviously I don't have to add a #import to my bridging header, but I'm wondering if there's an equivalent. Note that I'm using CocoaPods 0.35 (the latest version to date).

When I run the following code:

CameraManager.sharedInstance.capturePictureWithCompletition({ (image) -> Void in
            self.imageView.hidden = false
            self.imageView.image = image
})

I get the following exception:

2014-12-02 21:27:39.343 Pixync[8928:3126855] * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '* -[AVCaptureStillImageOutput captureStillImageAsynchronouslyFromConnection:completionHandler:] - inactive/invalid connection passed.'

thank you

In example

cameraManager.capturePictureWithCompletion({ (image, error) -> Void in
    self.myImage = image             
})

in side { } never get called

Hello, for starters thank you tremendously for this launching point it's so hard to find any references or help in understand the camera functionality for ios 8. My question is really quick, I noticed that in the actual view controller for where the camera will be shown it's possible to set which device opens first.

In your code you have self.cameraManager.cameraOutputMode = .StillImage and for instance if I were to write self.cameraManager.cameraDevice = .Front the front camera would launch as soon as the camera session starts instead of the back. My question is this i have self.cameraManager.cameraOutputMode = .StillImage set but no matter what I try the video camera opens up initially anyways. Is their a way to override this in your cameraManager class?

Your Podfile import statement has a smart quote at the end, should be:

pod 'CameraManager', '~> 2.2'

When another one push some codes that include CameraManger in my project, I can't run project on real device.

can you make new branch for swift2.3 and swift3?

Recently updated to Xcode 8 since the general release was today and I get errors overtime I try and build with carthage. I get the following errors:

-scheme CameraManager -configuration Release -sdk iphoneos ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO BITCODE_GENERATION_MODE=bitcode CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY= CARTHAGE=YES clean build) failed with exit code 65:
** CLEAN FAILED **

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hey would really like to be able to add the preview layer to the cameraView sublayer that way its easier to add content on top of my cameraView. Specifically, I want to add a blur to my camera view along with buttons, labels and icons but the preview layer takes precedence.

I just switched from CameraEngine where what I'm trying to do worked perfectly.

let layer = self.cameraEngine.previewLayer
        layer.frame = self.cameraView.bounds
        self.cameraView.layer.insertSublayer(layer, atIndex: 0)

//I could then add a blur effect on top of it like so
    //BLUR EFFECT
        let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .Dark)
        let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
        blurEffectView.frame = self.cameraView.bounds
        blurEffectView.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.7)
        blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.FlexibleWidth, .FlexibleHeight]
        self.cameraView.addSubview(blurEffectView)

Is it possible to take square shaped photo or video with this?

When I switching from .StillImage to .VideoWithMic and vice versa the PreviewLayerView becomes dark for a few seconds

I have modified the demo project in order to add the possibility to switch to another screen and then come back. This way, viewWillDisappear is called on ViewController, and then viewWillAppear is called again, resulting in stopCaptureSession being called and then resumeCaptureSession. In that case, when you try to switch from portrait to landcape, the preview is all skewed.

Hey not really an issue, but wanted to let you know I've been slowly working on a fork that you may want to eventually pull back into your project. It's not done on my end, but I keep pulling in your changes as they happen so it's pretty up to date with what you've done.

I've already got zoom working on my end. Also I've gotten rid of the Assets library and switched to the photos framework.

After I switch the camera (front to back or back to front) while .shouldRespondToOrientationChanges is set to true, and begin recording in a landscape orientation (either right or left), the output video will be rotated incorrectly.

My current "fix" is to just call _orientationChanged() inside the cameraDevice didSet block. This probably isn't a universal fix, though, since not everyone will want the camera to respond to orientation changes. I can investigate a more complete fix and submit a PR if you'd like. Let me know.

Cannot add output <AVCaptureMovieFileOutput: 0x1577f0f0> to capture session <AVCaptureSession: 0x168e2a20 [AVCaptureSessionPresetPhoto]> <AVCaptureDeviceInput: 0x157e9480 [Back Camera]> -> <AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer: 0x157dfd10> <AVCaptureDeviceInput: 0x157e9480 [Back Camera]> -> <AVCaptureStillImageOutput: 0x157f2360> because more than one output of the same type is unsupported.

This is the error i got, and this is the line

  private func _getMovieOutput() -> AVCaptureMovieFileOutput {
        var shouldReinitializeMovieOutput = movieOutput == nil
        if !shouldReinitializeMovieOutput {
            if let connection = movieOutput!.connectionWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo) {
                shouldReinitializeMovieOutput = shouldReinitializeMovieOutput || !connection.active
            }
        }

        if shouldReinitializeMovieOutput {
            movieOutput = AVCaptureMovieFileOutput()
            movieOutput!.movieFragmentInterval = kCMTimeInvalid

            captureSession?.beginConfiguration()

//this line is where the code exploted
            captureSession?.addOutput(movieOutput)
            captureSession?.commitConfiguration()
        }
        return movieOutput!
    }

in readme

• under 'how to use': ... or the user denied assess to it.

in code base

• capturePictureWithCompletition and a couple more like them have mispelled wordings. Should be 'Completion"

I would double check others as well!

can any guys add 3 this mode i think all camera app need them

When you go to a new view controller from the camera and then rotate orientation and then dismiss the current view controller the UIView is not rotated and is cut off. This is also in the example project that is in the repository

This is error I am seeing, domain: "AVFoundationErrorDomain" - code: 11800.

It was working before, even currently works without the flash functionality. Not sure as to what happened.

Just fixed the issue, its not specific to CameraManager, but heads up for people using a segue on taking a picture, it will work without flash but will break if flash is on. Need to make the capture button link to the action instead of prepareForSegue.

1. 'stringByAppendingPathComponent' has been explicitly marked unavailable here
2. 'stringByAppendingPathExtension' has been explicitly marked unavailable here
   

When I call CameraManager.sharedInstance.startRecordingVideo(), my app crashes with the following error:
-[AVCaptureMovieFileOutput startRecordingToOutputFileURL:recordingDelegate:] - no active/enabled connections.'

I capture the photos and the image is rotated clockwise 90 degrees

the description could be something like "CameraManager - Simple Swift class to provide all the configurations you need to create custom camera view in your app.

Camera doesn't recording in iOS 9.0.1 swift 2

The flash works when taking a photo but when video recording in dark areas with flash ON. the flash does not work. This is using the Example app.

Hello,
We've had several reports from users using our app WeTime (which is using CameraManager), that in very rare occasions, the saving of their recording video would fail.
We've been trying to trace the exact location of the failure using remote logging tools and believe we have narrowed it down to the stopRecordingVideo method.

Our code looks like this:

Mobihelp.sharedInstance().leaveBreadcrumb("About to call cameraManager.stopRecordingVideo")
cameraManager.stopRecordingVideo(self.saveVideo)

...


private func saveVideo(tempVideoURL: NSURL?, error: NSError?) -> Void {
    Mobihelp.sharedInstance().leaveBreadcrumb("saveVideo called")
   ...

We see the first breadcrumb correctly being set, but in the cases where people lost their recorded video, saveVideo doesn't seem to ever have been actually called.

Looking at the stopRecordingVideo method, it seems that a lot could actually go wrong without us knowing about it (movieOutput could be nil, or it could not be recording).

What are your thoughts on getting some better handling of these edge cases (maybe using _show to display the error)?

Hey, thanks for writing such a nice manager.

When setting writeFilesToPhoneLibrary it will write the file to the library, but it'd be nice to have the option of setting what album to write it to.

Alternatively, a hook for the completionblock of writeImageDataToSavedPhotosAlbum would make it equally simple? Then again, writeImageDataToSavedPhotosAlbum is deprecated in iOS 9, so I'm a bit confused as to what direction would be preferable. :-)

I found a weird behavior, when I use the front camera of my iPhone 5s. The front camera doesn't support flash. But if I call
cameraManager.hasFlash
it returns "true" anyway. Why is that?

If I try to make a video now, the app starts recording accordingly with the front camera.. but at the start of the recording the flash of the back camera turns on for a second for no reason at all.

Same behavior with the example app.

Anyway thank you a lot for this great library!

Hello, thanks so much for your cocoapod. How can I get the video content once it's taken. I notice that video automatically gets saved to the user's phone but I'd like my user to have the ability to edit the footage before it saves to their phone

When image is captured closure doesn't pass back image metadata dictionary (exif, etc)

Hello, So I set up an alarm with camera manager. Is it possible to send over an array of these images to image view?

What is the proper way to stop recording and save the video when the recording gets interrupted (eg. by a phone call)?
I've been trying to do this properly but can't seem to get the video to save, and I end up losing whatever recording I had made.

I am trying to use this library on an iPad. On iPhone iOS 9.1 it is working 100% however on the iPad the addPreviewLayerToView callback of completion never gets called.

        cameraManager.addPreviewLayerToView(self.imageView, newCameraOutputMode: .VideoWithMic, completition: {
            print("Camera ready")
            self.cameraCounter = 5
            self.timer = Interval.repeating(1, closure: self.prepareTick)
        })
