GPUImageMovie "Error reading from file at URL" after 15 times apply GPUImageTransformFilter

Ive tried every solution posted here but still cant solve this issue. Any help?

Could be please let us know, How you create file URL?

[insikmania]

I store the video URL to an array:

NSMutableDictionary fileInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:[self.videoURLArray firstObject]]; NSString originalFilename = fileInfo[@"original_filename"]; NSDictionary lastURL = [_videoURLArray lastObject]; NSURL videoURL = lastURL[@"updated_video"] ?: lastURL[@"original_video"]; NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Documents/%@-%lu.mov", originalFilename, filterAttempts];

here's where I store the edited video:

NSString pathToMovie = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:path]; unlink([pathToMovie UTF8String]); // If a file already exists, AVAssetWriter won't let you record new frames, so delete the old movie NSURL movieURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:pathToMovie];

Try this! Simple solution :)

NSMutableDictionary *fileInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:[self.videoURLArray firstObject]];
NSString *originalFilename = fileInfo[@"original_filename"];
NSDictionary *lastURL = [_videoURLArray lastObject];
NSURL *videoURL = lastURL[@"updated_video"] ?: lastURL[@"original_video"];

// Don't assume path / NSString path = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Documents/%@-%lu.mov", originalFilename, filterAttempts]; */

// Generate file path

NSURL *pathToMovie =  [NSURL fileURLWithPath:NSHomeDirectory() isDirectory:true];
NSURL *path = [[pathToMovie URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"]  URLByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@-%lu.mov", originalFilename, filterAttempts]];
NSLog(@"---%@",[path absoluteString]);

Don't convert path to NSString and convert to URL. This bad behaviour. Please maintain NSURL.

- (NSDictionary *)setupMovieFileAndReturnVideoURL {

    NSMutableDictionary *fileInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithDictionary:[self.videoURLArray firstObject]];
    NSString *originalFilename = fileInfo[@"original_filename"];//[VideoWorker filenameOfOriginalAsset:self.videoURLArray];
    NSDictionary *lastURL = [_videoURLArray lastObject];
    NSURL *videoURL = lastURL[@"updated_video"] ?: lastURL[@"original_video"];
    NSURL *pathToMovie =  [NSURL fileURLWithPath:NSHomeDirectory() isDirectory:true];
    NSURL *path = [[pathToMovie URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"]  URLByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@-%lu.mov", originalFilename, filterAttempts]];
    NSLog(@"---%@",[path absoluteString]);

    return @{@"videoURL": videoURL, @"path": path};
}

- (void)applyTransformFilter:(TransformToolFilter)filterSelected completion:(void(^)(NSURL *transformedVideo))completion {
    NSDictionary *dictionary = [self setupMovieFileAndReturnVideoURL];
    NSURL *videoURL = dictionary[@"videoURL"];
    NSURL *path = dictionary[@"path"]; // NSURL

    [self processAndApplyAdjustmentsAndTransformationsToVideoWithVideoURL:videoURL path:path isUsedForMusic:NO completion:completion];
}

- (void)processAndApplyAdjustmentsAndTransformationsToVideoWithVideoURL:(NSURL *)videoURL path:(NSURL *)movieURL isUsedForMusic:(BOOL)usedForMusic completion:(void(^)(NSURL *filteredVideo))completion {

    @autoreleasepool {

        AVAsset *anAsset = [AVAsset assetWithURL:videoURL];
        AVAssetTrack *videoTrack = [[anAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] objectAtIndex:0];

        mw = [[GPUImageMovieWriter alloc] initWithMovieURL:movieURL size:[videoTrack naturalSize]];
       }

}

@vigneshuvi Thanks for the reply, I've tried this solution but still doesn't solve the issue it freezes at 15 attempts. :(

But I notice this changes maybe you can help me with this:

• Everytime i record the edited video, I notice the file is decreasing
• the original file is 8.2MB
• the first edited video recorded is 2.8MB
• then the 14th video is 2MB maybe this is the issue wherein the GPUImageVideo can't read files 2MB below size? What you think?
