Walkthrough

Adds a local H.264 screenshot codec package with VideoToolbox encoding and pixel-buffer utilities. Adds the /h264 HTTP stream with configurable capture and encoding parameters. Adds JSON-RPC methods for ReplayKit broadcast start and stop control. Adds the broadcast extension target, package references, framework links, embedding configuration, and related documentation.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ffe12

The new H.264 endpoint can emit missing or corrupted video, hang after capture failures, or become unstable during teardown. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Finish the NAL unit stream when the capture loop fails.

The loop logs the error and breaks. It does not finish the AsyncStream continuation. nextBuffer then awaits naluIterator?.next() forever, so the HTTP response stays open and sends no more data until the server timeout expires.

Call frameProducer.invalidateEncoder() in the error path, because that method finishes the continuation.

🛡️ Proposed fix
                 } catch {
                     self.logger.error("Capture error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
+                    self.frameProducer.invalidateEncoder()
                     break
                 }

Apply the same treatment when the loop exits because of cancellation.

bufferingNewest(2) silently drops NAL units and corrupts the bitstream.

An H.264 elementary stream is not a sequence of independent items. If the consumer falls behind, this policy discards buffered elements. A dropped SPS, PPS, or IDR slice makes the decoder fail for the rest of the GOP, and a dropped P-slice produces persistent artifacts.

Use .unbounded and control the rate in the capture loop, or drop only at complete IDR boundaries so the decoder can resynchronize.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The encoder output is asynchronous, so pendingFrameData is usually empty here.

configureCompressSession sets kVTCompressionPropertyKey_RealTime to true, and VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame returns before encoding completes. VideoToolbox invokes the output callback later, on its own queue. Two consequences follow:

  1. Line 103 reads pendingFrameData immediately after Line 102. In most iterations the callback has not run yet, so the frame is never yielded. When it does run late, its NAL units are attributed to the next frame or are erased by the removeAll on Line 101.
  2. pendingFrameData is mutated by the VideoToolbox callback thread in naluHandling (Line 157) while this @MainActor method reads and clears it. That is an unsynchronized data race on a Data value.

Do not buffer per frame on the caller side. Yield directly from the naluHandling callback instead, and drop pendingFrameData.

🐛 Proposed direction
-        pendingFrameData.removeAll(keepingCapacity: true)
         encoder.encode(pixelBuffer: pixelBuffer, timestamp: timestamp)
-        if !pendingFrameData.isEmpty {
-            continuation?.yield(pendingFrameData)
-        }
         frameCount += 1
         enc.naluHandling = { [weak self] data in
-            self?.pendingFrameData.append(data)
+            self?.continuation?.yield(data)
         }

If you must keep frame-level grouping, call VTCompressionSessionCompleteFrames after each encode, or accumulate inside the callback and flush it there.

🌐 Web query:

site:developer.apple.com/documentation/coreimage/ciimage oriented(_:) CGImagePropertyOrientation

💡 Result:

The oriented(:) method is a member of the CIImage class in the Core Image framework [1][2]. Its signature is: func oriented( orientation: CGImagePropertyOrientation) -> CIImage [1] This method transforms an original CIImage by applying the specified orientation [1]. It returns a new CIImage object that represents the original image oriented according to the provided CGImagePropertyOrientation value [1]. For scenarios where you need to use an integer-based EXIF orientation instead, Core Image also provides the oriented(forExifOrientation:) method [3][2]. Additionally, if you need to calculate the transformation without applying it immediately to the image, you can use the orientationTransform(for:) method [2][4].

Citations:


Preserve every CGImagePropertyOrientation transform.

CVImageBuffer.rotate passes the caller’s orientation to flip(orientation:), which then supplies a different orientation to CIImage.oriented(_:). This discards the 180-degree or mirror transform for several valid inputs. Preserve each transform, while retaining the existing left/right inversion if required, and add tests for all eight values.

Remove the explicit pixel-buffer lock.

This method passes self to CIImage(cvPixelBuffer:) and uses CIContext.render; it does not access the base address directly. Core Image manages the pixel-buffer access. CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress returns a CVReturn, but this code ignores it and unlocks on every exit path. If the lock fails, the unlock calls can unbalance the lock state. Remove the lock and unlock calls.

Serialize encoder teardown with the capture path. captureAndEncodeFrame() runs on @MainActor, but invalidateEncoder() does not. AsyncStream.onTermination can therefore invalidate the session while H264Encoder.encode(pixelBuffer:timestamp:) holds it locally and calls VTCompressionSessionEncodeFrame. VideoToolbox does not support this unsynchronized access. Run teardown on the same actor or serial executor as capture, clear encoder, isConfigured, and H264Encoder.session after invalidation, and invalidate any existing session before configureCompressSession creates a replacement.

Validate the length prefix before you read it.

The loop condition allows packageStartIndex up to totalLength - 1. memcpy on Line 194 then reads 4 bytes and can read up to 3 bytes past the end of the block buffer. The bounds check on Line 196 runs after the read.

Check the 4-byte header first.
