Error: 'Unsupported predicate in fetch options: mediaType == 2'

Question

I\'m trying to use smartAlbum to generate an array of either only videos or only photos or both.
You can see my code below:

    PHFetchResult *collection         


        

Answer 1

Use this method to get photos and videos assets array separately.

Get All Videos

func getAllVideos(completion:@escaping  (_ videoAssets : [PHAsset]?) -> Void) {
    var videoAssets : [PHAsset] = []

    let fetchOptions = PHFetchOptions()
    fetchOptions.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "creationDate",ascending: false)]
    fetchOptions.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "mediaType = %d", PHAssetMediaType.video.rawValue)
    let allVideo = PHAsset.fetchAssets(with: .video, options: fetchOptions)
    allVideo.enumerateObjects { (asset, index, bool) in
        videoAssets.append(asset)
    }
    completion(videoAssets)
}

Get All Photos

func getAllPhotos(completion:@escaping  (_ photosAssets : [PHAsset]?) -> Void) {
    var photosAssets : [PHAsset] = []

    let fetchOptions = PHFetchOptions()
    let scale = UIScreen.main.scale
    let screenWidth = UIScreen.main.bounds.width * scale
    let screenHeight = UIScreen.main.bounds.height  * scale

    fetchOptions.sortDescriptors = [NSSortDescriptor(key: "creationDate",ascending: false)]
    fetchOptions.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "mediaType = %d || (mediaSubtype & %d) != 0 && (pixelHeight != %d AND pixelWidth != %d) OR (pixelHeight != %d AND pixelWidth != %d)", PHAssetMediaType.image.rawValue, PHAssetMediaSubtype.photoLive.rawValue ,screenHeight, screenWidth, screenWidth, screenHeight)

    let allPhotos = PHAsset.fetchAssets(with: .image, options: fetchOptions)
    allPhotos.enumerateObjects { (asset, index, bool) in
        photosAssets.append(asset)
    }
    completion(photosAssets)
}

Answer 2

No need to put mediaType in predicate In swift 4.0 this is how i used fetchAsset() method from Photos framework , to get all videos from photo library.

You can also get the video from specific folder using predicate.

   func fetchAllVideos()
{
    //let albumName = "blah"
    let fetchOptions = PHFetchOptions()
    //        fetchOptions.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "title = %@", albumName)
    //uncomment this if you want video from custom folder
    fetchOptions.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "mediaType = %d ", PHAssetMediaType.video.rawValue )

    let allVideo = PHAsset.fetchAssets(with: .video, options: fetchOptions)
    allVideo.enumerateObjects { (asset, index, bool) in
        // videoAssets.append(asset)
        let imageManager = PHCachingImageManager()
        imageManager.requestAVAsset(forVideo: asset, options: nil, resultHandler: { (asset, audioMix, info) in
            if asset != nil {
                let avasset = asset as! AVURLAsset
                let urlVideo = avasset.url
                print(urlVideo)

            }
        })

    }

}

Hope this help!!!
