SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of creating advanced, graph-based media capture, transcode, record, and streaming workflows in native .NET for iOS where the higher-level SDK does not provide enough control.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Graph-based pipeline construction: Assemble pipelines by connecting Media Blocks (sources, encoders, tees, renderers, and sinks) rather than relying on a single “god-object” API.
  • Native iOS integration specifics: Correct iOS setup for net10.0-ios, VideoToolbox H.264 encoding, AudioToolbox-backed AAC, required Info.plist privacy keys, and mandatory SDK initialization order.
  • Production troubleshooting for common iOS failures: Avoid silent app termination, AOT/JIT ExecutionEngineException, missing-camera scenarios, trial/registration issues, and black preview due to renderer/clock configuration.
  • Use cases: iPhone/iPad capture (camera + microphone) to MP4, preview + record with a tee topology, dynamic graph wiring for different scenarios, and streaming/muxing setups driven by custom block graphs.

Quick Start

Use the media-blocks-sdk-net-ios skill to generate a native net10.0-ios pipeline that initializes VisioForgeX.InitSDK(), loads the required iOS privacy keys, builds a source → tee → renderer/encoder → MP4 sink graph, and starts preview with await pipeline.StartAsync().

Frequently Asked Questions about media-blocks-sdk-net-ios

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a custom .NET iOS media pipeline for camera capture and MP4 recording?▼

To build a .NET iOS media pipeline, connect source, encoder, tee, and sink blocks graph-style rather than relying on a single god-object API. You can assemble capture, encoding, rendering, and recording workflows specific to iOS environments.

Why does my .NET iOS camera preview show a black screen when the pipeline starts?▼

A black camera preview in .NET iOS pipelines often results from incorrect renderer clock configuration. Setting the VideoRendererBlock configuration with IsSync=false before starting the pipeline resolves this rendering issue.

How do I fix ExecutionEngineException AOT JIT errors in native .NET for iOS media applications?▼

To fix AOT JIT ExecutionEngineException errors in .NET iOS media apps, set the MtouchInterpreter property to all. This ensures AOT interpreter compatibility required by the underlying media SDK wrappers.

Do I need specific Info.plist privacy keys for microphone and camera capture in .NET iOS apps?▼

Yes, .NET iOS camera and microphone capture requires explicit privacy strings in Info.plist. Missing these privacy declarations causes silent app termination or missing-camera scenarios during pipeline execution.

Can I split a camera stream to show a live preview while simultaneously recording to an MP4 file?▼

Yes, you can split a camera stream for simultaneous preview and MP4 recording by using a tee topology. Connect the source block to a tee, then route outputs to both a renderer and an MP4 muxing sink.

What is the correct initialization order for VisioForge Media Blocks SDK in a native iOS application?▼

The correct initialization order requires calling VisioForgeX.InitSDK() at root setup before constructing any graph pipeline. Proper wrapper and iOS redist NuGet pinning must also be configured prior to pipeline execution.
