Hey @tanaev,

Can you confirm that you are using AVPlayer? If so, it's not going to be possible to capture copy protected content from an AVPlayerLayer simply by drawing it using TVIScreenCapturer. I believe ReplayKit has the same limitation as well.

When AVPlayer is playing content using an external output the output is obscured unless sufficient copy protection is available, I believe the same concept is used when trying to capture from AVPlayer rendering to the internal screen.

Confirms - "ReplayKit is incompatible with AVPlayer content."

Thanks @ceaglest !

Yes, im using AVPlayer. And im not sure if its possible to play PHAssets in some way instead of AVPlayer

Hi @tanaev,

AVPlayer is certainly the recommended way to play photos assets. Given Apple's restriction on capturing its contents you would have to find some other way to share the videos. You could potentially transfer the video file from one Client to another (perhaps upload it to a shared place).

Is there anything else I can do to help you at this time?

Best, Chris
