Swift ImagePicker VideoCapture didFInishPickingMedia not being called

Question

I'm working on a project which involves video capture. I essentially want to capture video programatically.

I defined the imagepicker and started video capture:

if (UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(.camera)) {
            imagePicker.sourceType = .camera
            imagePicker.cameraDevice = UIImagePickerControllerCameraDevice.front
            imagePicker.allowsEditing = false
            imagePicker.delegate = self

            //present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: {})
        }
        imagePicker.startVideoCapture()
        print("Capture started")

later, I stopped video capture:

imagePicker.stopVideoCapture()
    print("capture over")

I know this should be calling my method:

func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : Any]) {

    print("captured")


    if let pickedvideo:NSURL = (info[UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] as! NSURL) {
        let selectorToCall = Selector("videoWasSavedSuccessfully.didFinishSavingWithError:context:")
        UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(pickedvideo.relativePath!, self, selectorToCall, nil)

        let videoasset = (AVAsset(url: pickedvideo as URL))
        let playeritem = AVPlayerItem(asset: videoasset)
        let player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playeritem)
        let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
        playerViewController.player = player
        self.present(playerViewController, animated: true) {
            playerViewController.player?.play()
        }
    }
}

but the "captured" doesn't get printed, even though I know I'm starting and stopping the recording, as "Capture started" and "Capture over" are printed. I'm not sure why the method isn't being called. Any suggestions?

You should check the return value of `startVideoCapture`. Is it returning `true`? — rmaddy, Mar 25 '17 at 16:50

Try setting mediaTypes to kUTTypeMovie.

What would this have to do with the delegate method being called or not? – rmaddy Mar 25 '17 at 16:46
I suggested to add as it was missing media types. At least we should add missing line and check. – Hiren Patel Mar 25 '17 at 16:53
