Closed 2 years ago.
I am building a IP camera app which can get the view in real time now, and now I want to record the video which is in MJPEG format using Swift.
let imageData = receivedData , imageData.length > 0,
let receivedImage = UIImage(data: imageData as Data)
here I have every image that received and save them as UIImage, the problem is how can I record the image stream? I have found a useful resource in Github but I failed, the link is blow:https://gist.github.com/acj/6ae90aa1ebb8cad6b47b
Can any one give me some hint or do you guys have sample project? Would really appreciate that, thanks!
update: I use the code from Amrit Tiwari's answer, but get this error:
Created asset writer for 640.0x640.0 video
Error converting images to video: pixelBufferPool nil after starting session
if let imageData = receivedData , imageData.length > 0,
let receivedImage = UIImage(data: imageData as Data){
let size = CGSize(width: 640, height: 640)
writeImagesAsMovie([receivedImage], videoPath: "test.mp4", videoSize: size, videoFPS: 2)
}
I am not sure whether it is correct for path argument(I want to save it in Documents directory). Please help me, thanks!
This problem have already solution. I just copy and paste it.
