photosframework

I need to use the AVAsset object, in order to play it using AVPlayer and AVPlayerLayer. I started using the Photos framework since AssetsLibrary is deprecated. Now I got to the point where I have an array of PHAsset objects and I need to convert them to AVAsset. I tried enumerating through the PHFetchResult and allocation a new AVAsset using the PHAsset's localized description, but it does not seem to show any video when I play it. PHAssetCollection *assetColl = [self scaryVideosAlbum]; PHFetchResult *getVideos = [PHAsset fetchAssetsInAssetCollection:assetColl options:nil]; [getVideos

I'm trying to access PHAssetCollection s from PHCollectionList . The main idea is to fetch all collections (and assets inside) from "People" smart folder on my iPhone (iOS 10.2). To fetch PHCollectionList I'm using current code: PHFetchResult *listFetchResult = [PHCollectionList fetchCollectionListsWithType:PHCollectionListTypeSmartFolder subtype:PHCollectionListSubtypeSmartFolderFaces options:nil]; PHCollectionList *list = listFetchResult[0]; NSLog(@"title: %@",list.localizedTitle); This works as expected. Console output: "title: People". list.canContainAssets returns NO and list

I'm using the photos framework on iOS8.1 and requesting the image data for the asset using requestImageDataForAsset... Most of the time it works and I get the image data and a dictionary containing what you see below. But sometimes the call completes, but the data is nil and the dictionary contains three generic looking entries. The calls are performed sequentially and on the same thread. It is not specific to any particular image. The error will happen on images I've successfully opened in the past. Has anyone encountered this? + (NSData *)retrieveAssetDataPhotosFramework:(NSURL *)urlMedia

I'm trying to iterate through a user's photo library on OS X. On iOS, I would use the Photos framework, but apparently that's not available on OS X , and we're supposed to use the Media Library framework instead. However, while I was able to use the code linked above to get access to a MLMediaSource object, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to iterate through the photo assets. The Media Library Framework documentation makes reference to a mediaObjectForIdentifier: method, which sounds promising, but doesn't indicate what sort of identifiers should be used. I'm fairly experienced with iOS

I can request a video PHAsset using the Photos framework in iOS8. I'd like to know how big the file is on disk. There doesn't seem to be a property of PHAsset to determine that. Does anyone have a solution? (Using Photos framework not required) Edit As for iOS 9.3, using requestImageDataForAsset on a video type PHAsset will result in an image, which is the first frame of the video, so it doesn't work anymore. Use the following method instead, for normal video, request option can be nil , but for slow motion video, PHVideoRequestOptionsVersionOriginal needs to be set. PHVideoRequestOptions
