I am having trouble recording video using the code provided. I am using example code created for recording video.
Specifically I am unable to compile this line without this error: "Cannot convert value of type 'ViewController' to specified type 'AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate'
var recordingDelegate:AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate? = self
This line is located in a IBAction function:
@IBAction func RecordButtonPressed(_ sender: Any) {
var recordingDelegate:AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate? = self
var videoFileOutput = AVCaptureMovieFileOutput()
self.captureSession.addOutput(videoFileOutput)
let documentsURL = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
let filePath = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent("temp")
videoFileOutput.startRecording(toOutputFileURL: filePath, recordingDelegate: recordingDelegate)
RecordButton.setTitle("Stop", for: .normal);
}
Rest of code is here:

Thank you for any help you can provide!
Make an extension for your UIViewController that makes it conform to AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate. Remove and add the final two methods in your ViewController class into it.
class ViewController:UIViewController {
//your methods as usual but remove the final two methods and add them to the extension that follows. Those methods are what will make you conform to AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate
}
extension ViewController: AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate {
func capture(_ captureOutput: AVCaptureFileOutput!, didStartRecordingToOutputFileAt fileURL: URL!, fromConnections connections: [Any]!) {
}
func capture(_ captureOutput: AVCaptureFileOutput!, didFinishRecordingToOutputFileAt outputFileURL: URL!, fromConnections connections: [Any]!, error: Error!) {
}
}
You can do the same thing by extending your UIViewController as below but I thought I'd give you a clean solution as above. You can choose.
class ViewController:UIViewController, AVCaptureFileOutputRecordingDelegate {
//your methods as usual but you keep your final two methods this time
func capture(_ captureOutput: AVCaptureFileOutput!, didStartRecordingToOutputFileAt fileURL: URL!, fromConnections connections: [Any]!) {
}
func capture(_ captureOutput: AVCaptureFileOutput!, didFinishRecordingToOutputFileAt outputFileURL: URL!, fromConnections connections: [Any]!, error: Error!) {
}
}
