AIR for iOS extend CameraUI video capture duration more than 10 minutes

[yufuair]

Hi,

I have not been able to find any answer for this issue, so I am posting again hoping to get some insights/advice.

I am creating AIR for iOS iPad app, and use CameraUI to capture videos and save locally and upload to the server. All work very well, except the Native Camera stops the video recording at 10 minutes (see image).

We tested the video recording directly from the iPad and there is no limit on video duration as long as there is enough storage space, so we believe this issue is from Adobe AIR.

This issue has been going on since previous iOS and AIR versions. Now we have the need to record longer videos so we are re-investigating this issue again.

Can someone advice with any solution on this issue? Or any insights why this is happening?

Thank you very much.

Does anyone have any experience or solution on the 10-minute video recording limit via Adobe AIR for iOS?

Hi,

This is the default for iOS image picker. In order to adjust it you'll need to use a native extension to launch the picker and set the videoMaximumDuration property on the picker.

You can do this, for example, with our Camera UI ANE (https://airnativeextensions.com/extension/com.distriqt.CameraUI​)

var options:CameraUIOptions = new CameraUIOptions();

options.videoMaximumDuration = 300; // 5 mins

CameraUI.service.launch( MediaType.VIDEO, options );

I got a question on your ANE. I want to launch the camera ui and auto start recording video without user needing to tap the red record button. Can your ANE allow for that.

We haven't been able to find a way to automatically start the recording on Android so we haven't been able to add that feature as yet.

It could be an iOS only feature though we like to steer clear of platform specific functionality wherever possible to keep the ANEs as cross-platform as possible.

Ok how about not using Camera UI and using getCamera. I've created an app that after a function is thrown I want video to start recording. I'm currently doing it as creating image and saving to camera roll. It does is 30 times a second until end function is called. Theoretically I can put all those to a video but I just want to record one video file.
