I'm using UIImagePickerController to select a video or an image from the user's gallery. With the photos, there's no problem, everything is displayed the way it should be. The problem comes when I'm trying to generate a thumbnail for a video.
Basically, the thumbnail image could end up being displayed upside down or 90 degrees to the left or right. I'm not sure why it happens. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
extension PostVC : UIImagePickerControllerDelegate, UINavigationControllerDelegate {
func imagePickerController(_ picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [UIImagePickerController.InfoKey : Any]) {
if let videoUrl = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.mediaURL] as? URL {
if let thumbnail = self.generateThumbnailForImage(videoUrl) {
self.videoUrl = videoUrl
self.photoImageView.image = thumbnail
self.selectedImage = thumbnail
}
}
if let image = info[UIImagePickerController.InfoKey.originalImage] as? UIImage {
selectedImage = image
photoImageView.image = image
shareButton.isEnabled = true
}
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func generateThumbnailForImage(_ fileUrl: URL) -> UIImage? {
let asset = AVAsset(url: fileUrl)
let imageGenerator = AVAssetImageGenerator(asset: asset)
do {
let thumbnailCGImage = try imageGenerator.copyCGImage(at: CMTimeMake(value: 1, timescale: 10), actualTime: nil) // 1 sec
return UIImage(cgImage: thumbnailCGImage)
} catch let err {
SVProgressHUD.showError(withStatus: err.localizedDescription)
}
return nil
}
}
