Here we are focusing to change the cookie at every 120 seconds while playing , in apple avplayer we can't modify cookie after initialisation due to that we followed the approach to using " Resource loader delegate " to pass cookie as a header value . What I notice is that the playlist file (.m3u8) gets downloaded correctly. Then video file (.m4a) some chunks also gets downloaded. I know that the .ts file is downloaded because I can see the GET request completing on the web server with status 200. I also set a breakpoint at the following line: loadingRequest.dataRequest?.respond(with: data) immediately got error from avplayer status as "The operation could not be completed. An unknown error occurred (-12881) From core media" Need confirmation on why I am unable to load HLS using resource loader. is it possible to update cookie value while paying continuously on avplayer. override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. let urlString = "localhost://demo.unified-streaming.com/k8s/features/stable/video/tears-of-steel/tears-of-steel.ism/.m3u8" guard let url = URL(string: urlString) else { print("Invalid URL") return } //Create cookie to prepare for player asset let cookie = HTTPCookie(properties: [ .name: "dazn-token", .value: "cookie value", .domain: url.host() ??

I've seen the Multiview feature on tvOS that displays a small grid icon when available. However, I only see this functionality in VisionOS using the AVMultiviewManager. Does a different name refer to this feature on tvOS?

Title: Unable to Access Microphone in Control Center Widget – Is It Possible? Hello everyone, I'm attempting to create a widget in the Control Center that accesses the microphone, similar to how Shazam does it. However, I'm running into an issue where the widget always prints "Microphone permission denied." It's worth mentioning that microphone access works fine when I'm using the app itself. Here's the code I'm using in the widget: swift Copy code func startRecording() async { logger.info("Starting recording...") print("Starting recording...") recognizedText = "" isFinishingRecognition = false // First, check speech recognition authorization let speechAuthStatus = await withCheckedContinuation { continuation in SFSpeechRecognizer.requestAuthorization { status in continuation.resume(returning: status) } } guard speechAuthStatus == .authorized else { logger.error("Speech recognition not authorized") return } // Then, request microphone permission using our manager let micPermission = await AudioSessionManager.shared.requestMicrophonePermission() guard micPermission else { logger.error("Microphone permission denied") print("Microphone permission denied") return } // Continue with recording... } Issues: The code consistently prints "Microphone permission denied" when run from the widget. Microphone access works without issues when the same code is executed from within the app. Questions: Is it possible for a Control Center widget to access the microphone? If yes, what might be causing the "Microphone permission denied" error in the widget? Are there additional permissions or configurations required to enable microphone access in a widget? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I was able to obtain the depth map image using AVCapturePhotoOutput from the delegate method func photoOutput(_ output: AVCapturePhotoOutput, didFinishProcessingPhoto photo: AVCapturePhoto, error: (any Error)?) I convert the depth map to kCVPixelFormatType_DepthFloat32 format and get the pixel values of the depth map using the below code func convertDepthData(depthMap: CVPixelBuffer) -> [[Float32]] { let width = CVPixelBufferGetWidth(depthMap) let height = CVPixelBufferGetHeight(depthMap) var convertedDepthMap: [[Float32]] = Array( repeating: Array(repeating: 0, count: width), count: height ) CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(depthMap, CVPixelBufferLockFlags(rawValue: 2)) let floatBuffer = unsafeBitCast( CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(depthMap), to: UnsafeMutablePointer<Float32>.self ) for row in 0 ..< height { for col in 0 ..< width { if floatBuffer[width * row + col].isFinite{ convertedDepthMap[row][col] = floatBuffer[width * row + col] } } } CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(depthMap, CVPixelBufferLockFlags(rawValue: 2)) return convertedDepthMap } Is this the right way of accessing the depth float values from a depth map. And what will be the unit for it. Because some times the depth values are in range of 0.7 when I keep the device close to the subject around 15 to 30 cm.

I'm trying to capture the depth map image using true depth camera in iPhone 15 plus. I was able to setup the AVCapture session with AVCaptureDeviceInput as builtInTrueDepthCamera and AVCapturePhotoOutput with isDepthDataDeliveryEnabled set as true. I also manually made the activeDepthDataFormat of AVCapture device to kCVPixelFormatType_DepthFloat16 or kCVPixelFormatType_DepthFloat32. Finally I have enabled isDepthDataDeliveryEnabled, embedsDepthDataInPhoto , embedsPortraitEffectsMatteInPhoto and embedsSemanticSegmentationMattesInPhoto in AVCapturePhotoSettings before capturing the photo using capturePhoto(with: photoSettings, delegate: self) method. I have checked manually printing the activeDepthDataFormat of AVCapture device. First before setting it by default it is Optional('dpth'/'hdis' 640x 480, { 2- 30 fps}, photo dims:{}, fov:73.699, system exposure bias range:-2.0-2.0) After forcing it to kCVPixelFormatType_DepthFloat16 or kCVPixelFormatType_DepthFloat32 the format is Optional('dpth'/'hdep' 160x 120, { 2- 30 fps}, photo dims:{}, fov:73.699, system exposure bias range:-2.0-2.0) But when I receive the captured photo in func photoOutput(_ output: AVCapturePhotoOutput, didFinishProcessingPhoto photo: AVCapturePhoto, error: (any Error)?) The depth map is Optional(hdis 640x480 (high/abs) calibration:{intrinsicMatrix: [2723.07 0.00 2016.00 | 0.00 2723.07 1512.00 | 0.00 0.00 1.00], extrinsicMatrix: [1.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 | 0.00 1.00 0.00 0.00 | 0.00 0.00 1.00 0.00] pixelSize:0.001 mm, distortionCenter:{2016.00,1512.00}, ref:{4032x3024}}) Here it shows hdis instead of hdep, why is it capturing disparity map instead of true depth map. The depth quality is high and depth data accuracy is absolute. Here is my code import UIKit import AVKit import AVFoundation class ViewController: UIViewController, AVCapturePhotoCaptureDelegate { @IBOutlet weak var previewView: UIView! @IBOutlet weak var resultLbl: UILabel! private var session = AVCaptureSession() private var captureDevice: AVCaptureDevice? private var inputDevice: AVCaptureDeviceInput? private var photoOutput: AVCapturePhotoOutput? private var photoSettings: AVCapturePhotoSettings? private var cameraPreviewLayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. self.setupCaptureSession() } func setupCaptureSession(){ captureDevice = AVCaptureDevice.default(.builtInTrueDepthCamera, for: .video, position: .unspecified) guard let captureDevice else{ print("ERROR::UNABLE TO SET TRUE DEPTH CAMERA ") return } session.beginConfiguration() do{ inputDevice = try AVCaptureDeviceInput(device: captureDevice) guard let inputDevice else{ print("ERROR: UNABLE TO SET UP INPUT DEVICE") return } if session.canAddInput(inputDevice){ session.addInput(inputDevice) } } catch{ print(error) } photoOutput = AVCapturePhotoOutput() guard let photoOutput else{ print("ERROR: UNABLE TO SET UP PHOTO OUTPUT") return } if session.canAddOutput(photoOutput){ session.addOutput(photoOutput) } session.sessionPreset = .photo photoOutput.isDepthDataDeliveryEnabled = photoOutput.isDepthDataDeliverySupported print("IS DEPTH ENABLED:: \(photoOutput.isDepthDataDeliveryEnabled)") session.commitConfiguration() let availableFormats = captureDevice.activeFormat.supportedDepthDataFormats let depthFormat = availableFormats.filter { format in let pixelFormatType = CMFormatDescriptionGetMediaSubType(format.formatDescription) return (pixelFormatType == kCVPixelFormatType_DepthFloat16 || pixelFormatType == kCVPixelFormatType_DepthFloat32) }.first session.beginConfiguration() try! captureDevice.lockForConfiguration() captureDevice.activeDepthDataFormat = depthFormat captureDevice.unlockForConfiguration() session.commitConfiguration() self.setupPreviewLayer() } func setupPreviewLayer(){ cameraPreviewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: session) cameraPreviewLayer?.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill if let cameraPreviewLayer{ self.previewView.layer.addSublayer(cameraPreviewLayer) cameraPreviewLayer.frame = self.previewView.bounds } DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInteractive).async { self.session.startRunning() } } @IBAction func captureBtnPressed(_ sender: Any) { photoSettings = AVCapturePhotoSettings(format: [AVVideoCodecKey:AVVideoCodecType.jpeg]) guard let photoSettings else{ print("ERROR: UNABLE TO SETUP PHOTO SETTINGS") return } guard let photoOutput else{ print("ERROR: UNABLE TO SET UP PHOTO OUTPUT") return } photoSettings.isDepthDataDeliveryEnabled = photoOutput.isDepthDataDeliverySupported photoSettings.embedsDepthDataInPhoto = true photoSettings.embedsPortraitEffectsMatteInPhoto = true photoSettings.embedsSemanticSegmentationMattesInPhoto = true photoOutput.capturePhoto(with: photoSettings, delegate: self) } func photoOutput(_ output: AVCapturePhotoOutput, didFinishProcessingPhoto photo: AVCapturePhoto, error: (any Error)?) { print(photo.depthData) switch photo.depthData?.depthDataQuality { case .low: print("Depth quality is low") case .high: print("Depth quality is high") case nil: print("Depth quality is nil") } switch photo.depthData?.depthDataAccuracy { case .relative: print("Depth accuarcy is relative") case .absolute: print("Depth accuarcy is absolute") case nil: print("Depth accuarcy is nil") } if let imageData = photo.fileDataRepresentation(){ if let image = UIImage(data: imageData){ UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, nil, nil, nil) } } } }

I'm trying to implement anti-spoofing in iOS app using iphone true depth front camera. I have checked the following questions still can't find a proper working solution. I trained a coreML model using 22000 depth human face images and 22000 non-human face(objects,food etc) images. The accuracy of the model is very less. When testing out with flat 2d images shown on a smartphone screen I found that I get depth map even for flat 2D images like this. Even though the image is flat how does it give the depth map for the person shown in the flat 2D picture so the model thinks that it is a real face instead of a spoofed one. I implemented depth capture by following this documentation and I made sure that I get depth map instead of disparity map https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/additional_data_capture/capturing_photos_with_depth My next approach was to use NCNN framework to implement anti-spoofing by using the model used in the Mini-vision android anti-spoofing sample. I rewrote their library in iOS by using the objective C++ wrapper for C++ as the sample was only available for android app. And I tested by feeding 80x80 UI-Image in a open cv matrix format it's accurracy is less than the android one. How can I solve this problem.

I plan to create a simple motion graphics software for macOS that animates text, basic shapes, and handles audio. I'll use SwiftUI for the UI. What are the commonly used technologies for rendering animated graphics? Core Animation is suitable for UI animations but not for exporting and controlling UI animations. Basic requirements: Timeline user interface Animation of text and basic shapes Viewer in SwiftUI GUI with transport control (play, pause, scrub, …) Export to video file Is Metal or Core Graphics typically used directly? I want to keep it as simple as possible.

Hey. I am trying to create a present view with a bunch of media (images/videos). Right now I am using a ZStack to render each media and change opacity based on the index selected using a scrollView. The issue seems to be that sometimes, videos don't seem to load in the main slide. There is a slide created as the video exists, the Player shows controls too but doesn't play anything. Present View Z-Stack ZStack { ForEach(presentation.slides.indices, id: .self) { index in if let media = mediaCacheManager.mediaCache[index] { if let player = media as? AVPlayer { PlayerView(player: player) .aspectRatio(16/10, contentMode: .fit ) .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.8) .background(Color.gray.opacity(0.2)) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40)) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40) .stroke(Color.gray.opacity(0.5), lineWidth: 1) ) .onDisappear { player.pause() } .opacity(appModel.currentSlide == index ? 1 : 0) } else if let image = media as? Image { image .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.8) .background(Color.gray.opacity(0.2)) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40)) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40) .stroke(Color.gray.opacity(0.5), lineWidth: 1) ) .padding(.vertical, 10) .opacity(appModel.currentSlide == index ? 1 : 0) } } } } The PlayerView public class PlayerUIView: UIView { let playerVC = AVPlayerViewController() let gravity: AVLayerVideoGravity let manageAudio: Bool override init(frame: CGRect) { self.gravity = .resizeAspectFill self.manageAudio = true super.init(frame: frame) } deinit { if manageAudio { try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(false) } } init(player: AVPlayer?, gravity: AVLayerVideoGravity, manageAudio: Bool = true) { self.gravity = gravity self.manageAudio = manageAudio super.init(frame: .zero) guard let player = player else { return } self.playerSetup(player: player) } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } public override func layoutSubviews() { super.layoutSubviews() playerVC.view.frame = bounds playerVC.view.backgroundColor = .clear playerVC.allowsVideoFrameAnalysis = false } private func playerSetup(player: AVPlayer) { playerVC.updatesNowPlayingInfoCenter = true playerVC.player = player playerVC.showsPlaybackControls = true playerVC.view.backgroundColor = .clear playerVC.exitsFullScreenWhenPlaybackEnds = true playerVC.videoGravity = gravity self.addSubview(playerVC.view) } }

There are significant crash reports coming from iOS 18 users regarding AVKit framework that starts from this line [AVPlayerController _observeValueForKeyPath:oldValue:newValue:] which seems to be coming from iOS internal SDK. There are 2 kinds of crash we found: UI modification on background thread From the stack trace it seems like when AVPictureInPictureController is being deallocated and its view is being removed from superview somehow the code is being executed in background thread because there is this line there _AssertAutoLayoutOnAllowedThreadsOnly highlighted before the crash. But I’ve checked our code that plays around AVPictureInPictureController, in the locations where we would deallocate the object it will always be called on main thread which are insideviewDidLoad and deinit inside UIViewController class. From the log, it seems like the crash happened when user try to open another content when PIP player is active resulting in the current PIP instance will be replaced with a new one. My suspect is the observation logic inside AVPlayerController could be the hint to this issue, probably something broken over there since this issue happened across our app versions on iOS 18 users only. Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce this issue yet but one of my colleagues reproduced it once but haven’t been able to do it again since. The reports keep raising each day up to 1.3k events in the last 30 days now. Over release object This one has lower reports than the first one but I decided to include it since it might have relevant information regarding the first crash since the starting stack trace is similar. The crash timing seems to be similar to the first one, where we deallocate existing AVPictureInPictureController and later replace it with a new one and also found only in iOS 18 users which also refers to [AVPlayerController _observeValueForKeyPath:oldValue:newValue:]. I also was unable to reproduce this issue so far. Oh, and both of the issues happened on both iPhone and iPad. We’d appreciate any advice on what we can do to avoid this in the future and probably any hint on why it could happened. I have reported this issue with bug number: FB15620734 I also attached one sample crash report for each of the crashes here. non ui thread access.crash over release.crash

Observing 4K playback issues on tvOS 18. Encountering HTTP 416 (Range Not Satisfiable) errors when the player attempts to request byte ranges that are outside the available data on the server. This leads to fatal playback error resulting in the error CoreMediaErrorDomain error -12939 - HTTP 416: Requested Range Not Satisfiable Notably, there are no customizations or modifications to the standard AVPlayerViewController on tvOS player. AVPlayer is trying to request the resource of length equals 739 bytes with an invalid byte range (739-) request. Since the request is not satisfiable server returns with 416. Note this is only limited to tvOS 18 and we are trying to understand why AVPlayer is making this invalid request in tvOS 18 resulting in playback error.

In iOS, when I use AVPlayerViewController to play back a slow motion video, it has a "ramp-up" stage at the start and a "ramp-down" stage at the end, and the video plays at the normal speed (i.e. not slow motion) during these stages. My question is: are these non-slow-motion stages defined in the video file itself? (e.g. some kind of meta data?) Or, is it just a playback approach used by AVPlayerViewController ? Thanks!

When the native info panel (which displays the title, subtitle, description, and custom buttons) opens, the focus immediately shifts to the first button. As a result, VoiceOver skips the description, which is crucial for users relying on accessibility features. I haven’t found a way to detect when it opens. Knowing this would allow me to trigger custom VoiceOver announcements or adjust the focus order dynamically. Are any other people experiencing this issue, and how do we solve it?

I am trying to build my app with Xcode16 on iOS18, once app is going background PIP is enable but whenever app is coming back to foreground by tapping on PIP, black screen appears(video is playing in background). It only happening with build created by Xcode16 and running on iOS18. It working fine with build created by Xcode15.4. My first thought on it that somehow PIP is not stoping.

I think I have the simplest possible Mac app trying to see if I can have VideoPlayer work in an Xcode Preview. It works in an iOS app project. In a Mac app project it builds and runs. But if I preview in Xcode it crashes. The diagnostic says: | [Remote] Unknown Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. XPC error received on message reply handler | | BSServiceConnectionErrorDomain (3): | ==NSLocalizedFailureReason: XPC error received on message reply handler | ==BSErrorCodeDescription: OperationFailed The code I'm using is the exact code from the VideoPlayer documentation page. See this link. Any ideas about this XPC error, and how to work around? I'm using Xcode 16.0 on macOS 14.6.1

Hi everyone, I’ve encountered an issue with the showsPlaybackControls property in AVPlayerViewController after updating to iOS 18. Even though it’s set to true, the native playback controls (play, pause, etc.) are no longer appearing as they used to in previous iOS versions. This behavior was consistent and worked perfectly prior to iOS 18. Additionally, I’m seeing the same problem when using the VideoPlayer in SwiftUI. The native controls that should appear by default seem to have vanished after the update. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any workaround or additional configuration required to restore the native controls? Any help or insights would be appreciated. Thanks! struct CustomPlayerView: UIViewControllerRepresentable { let player: AVPlayer func updateUIViewController(_ playerController: AVPlayerViewController, context: Context) { playerController.player = player playerController.showsPlaybackControls = true player.play() } func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> AVPlayerViewController { return AVPlayerViewController() } }

Case-ID: 9391388 Our application uses timed Metadata as part of a rating control system. We noticed a problem in production and diagnosis shows that we stop receiving timed Metadata on iOS18 only Our live streams are primed with metadata at least once per second but we are seeing extended gaps in receiving this content, in excess of 10 minutes. We have also observed that this happens more as the player climbs the bitrate ladder, and doesn't happen if we cap to a low resolution i.e. a preferredMaximumResolution of 768x432. Furthermore, if we throttle network conditions after we stop receiving metadata the we start receiving them again. Following is a simple example that demonstrates the above behaviour, unfortunately I cannot share the live stream endpoint which is primed with metadata publicly, but can provide privately to Apple to reproduce the problem. import UIKit import AVKit class ViewController: UIViewController, AVPlayerItemMetadataOutputPushDelegate { var player: AVPlayer? var itemMetadataOutput: AVPlayerItemMetadataOutput? override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) { guard let url = URL(string: "endpoint redacted") else { return } let player = AVPlayer(url: url) let controller = AVPlayerViewController() controller.player = player self.player = player present(controller, animated: true) { player.play() let currentItem = player.currentItem let itemMetadataOutput = AVPlayerItemMetadataOutput(identifiers: nil) self.itemMetadataOutput = itemMetadataOutput self.itemMetadataOutput?.setDelegate(self, queue: .main) currentItem?.add(itemMetadataOutput) } } public func metadataOutput(_ output: AVPlayerItemMetadataOutput, didOutputTimedMetadataGroups groups: [AVTimedMetadataGroup], from track: AVPlayerItemTrack?) { print("received metadata \(Date())") } }

Dear all, how do I add any extra buttons to the AVPlayer / VideoPlayer menu? I would like to add a button e.g. linking to a particular website. Thank you!

As you can see, the value shown in the AVCaptureSystemZoomSlider is not the same as the raw camera zoom factor. I tried to calculate this value, and it seems it's 0.8. (5-1)*0.8=4.2-1 in this image. It seems this factor only applies to the default wide-angle camera. And I can't get this value from anywhere. (It's not displayVideoZoomFactorMultiplier btw, I checked that.) What is it?

I have a FairPlay-encrypted HLS stream and played the video in an AVPlayer.And I want to generate scrubbing thumbnails using the AVAssetImageGenerator. Also, I am able to generate thumbnails for clear streams but get errors for protected content. *How to generate thumbnails for protected content. func getImageThumbnail(forTime: CMTime) { let generator = AVAssetImageGenerator(asset: asset) generator.appliesPreferredTrackTransform = true generator.cancelAllCGImageGeneration() generator.generateCGImagesAsynchronously(forTimes: [NSValue(time: forTime)]) { [weak self] requestedTime, image, actualTime, result, error in if let error = error { print("Error generate: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } if let image = image { DispatchQueue.main.async { let image = UIImage(cgImage: image).jpegData(compressionQuality: 1.0) self?.playerImg.image = UIImage(data: image!) } } } }

Here is a code snippet about AVPlayer. avPlayer.addPeriodicTimeObserver(forInterval: CMTime(value: 1, timescale: 60), queue: .main) { [weak self] _ in // Call main actor-isolated instance methods } Xcode shows warnings that Call to main actor-isolated instance method '***' in a synchronous nonisolated context; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode. How can I fix this? avPlayer.addPeriodicTimeObserver(forInterval: CMTime(value: 1, timescale: 60), queue: .main) { [weak self] _ in Task { @MainActor in // Call main actor-isolated instance methods } } Can I use this solution above? But it seems switching actors frequently can slow down performance.
