I have tried your code. When set a meaningful filePath, everything goes fine. Change your filePath like this and you will get the delegate methods invoked:

    let documentsURL = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask)[0]
    let filePath = documentsURL.URLByAppendingPathComponent("temp")

    // Do recording and save the output to the `filePath`
    videoFileOutput.startRecordingToOutputFileURL(filePath, recordingDelegate: recordingDelegate)
