is Anyone experiencing freezing when attempting to get CVPixelBuffer from AVAssetReaderOutput in iOS16?

Question

Hello. In iOS16, I faced the problem that main thread become deadlock when call copyNextSampleBuffer method in AVAssetReaderOutput in requestMediaDataWhenReady method of AVAssetWriterInput. Main thread become deadlock sometimes and main thread's call stack like below.

Thread 1 Queue : com.apple.main-thread (serial)

#22	0x00000001cd8d9960 in start ()

I tried to delay some logic to call markAsFinished and finishWriting methods of AVAssetWriter but that couldn't solve this problem.

Is there anyone to experience same issue as me? If so, let me know what is workaround code if you solve this problem?

Hi hyunjin,

I am seeing this too, sometimes when I try to cancel my video export the SwiftUI AsyncRenderer deadlocks in a similar way, albeit not on the main thread:

  * frame #0: 0x00000002018c6b48 libsystem_kernel.dylib`__psynch_mutexwait + 8

I have not been able to establish the cause or a workaround.

it happens randomly to me too after I export a video composition:

Does anybody has a workaround for this? It's extremely frustrating as the whole UI locks up! :(

I'm seeing this as well. Cancelling a video export a couple of times freezes the app (iOS 16.1.1)
