I'm trying to encode a video so that it can be read on chrome in HTML5. Unfortunately I am not able to find a codec. I have tried MP4 and Apple .mov ( H.265 ). I can play the audio track, but there is no picture with the HTML5 player on Chrome. I tried to encode in MP4 ... but it doesn't work. The video is sent to Google Storage and displayed on Chrome with HTML5. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.
func encodeVideo(videoUrl: URL, outputUrl: URL? = nil, resultClosure: @escaping (URL?) -> Void ) {
var finalOutputUrl: URL? = outputUrl
if finalOutputUrl == nil {
var url = videoUrl
url.deletePathExtension()
url.appendPathExtension(".mp4")
finalOutputUrl = url
}
if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: finalOutputUrl!.path) {
print("Converted file already exists \(finalOutputUrl!.path)")
resultClosure(finalOutputUrl)
return
}
let asset = AVURLAsset(url: videoUrl)
if let exportSession = AVAssetExportSession(asset: asset, presetName: AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough) {
exportSession.outputURL = finalOutputUrl!
exportSession.outputFileType = AVFileTypeMPEG4
let start = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(0.0, 0)
let range = CMTimeRangeMake(start, asset.duration)
exportSession.timeRange = range
exportSession.shouldOptimizeForNetworkUse = true
exportSession.exportAsynchronously() {
switch exportSession.status {
case .failed:
print("Export failed: \(exportSession.error != nil ? exportSession.error!.localizedDescription : "No Error Info")")
case .cancelled:
print("Export canceled")
case .completed:
resultClosure(finalOutputUrl!)
default:
break
}
}
} else {
resultClosure(nil)
}
}
