Hi LiveCoders
Today I'm releasing mergAV 3.5. This release has some new features and bug fixes in addition to the major milestone of an OS X release. The OS X release may only be used with LiveCode 6.1+ because there were some engine changes required to make this happen.
mergReader 1.1 is also available and adds the minor feature of an optionally configurable document title.
For more information please go to

Cheers
Monte

In the documentation I see this:
function mergAVCanAccessPhotoLibrary
Checks the authorisation status of the app to access the photo library. iOS Only.
Returns true if the app can access the photo library
Code sample
if mergAVCanSaveVideo(tVideoPath) then show btn "edit"
What is the correct use of mergAVCanAccessPhotoLibrary? I have just to replace mergAVCanSaveVideo with mergAVCanAccessPhotoLibrary? I always need a file path?

OK, I did some tests and I found the answer.
Code: Select all
if mergAVCanAccessPhotoLibrary() is not "true" then
Thank you for this great piece of software Monte.

Hi Mag
Looks like you worked it out yourself but you should probably call both mergAVCanAccessPhotoLibrary() and mergAVCanSaveVideo(tVideoPath) to ensure that both you have permission and the video type is supported by the library.

Hi Monte, also if I create the video with mergAV:
Code: Select all
mergAVCamStartRecording (specialFolderPath("documents") &"/video.mov")
do you suggest to check if the video type is supported by the library, or in this case is not necessary?

well.. I'd be surprised if it wasn't supported if the device wrote the file... however, I'm not sure if there's any size limits or anything in the library.
