Swift - startRecording not working

[escully27]

Currently using the code from the SwiftExample project.. for some reason when the snapButton is tapped with video mode on, it's changed to red and everything is working successfully except for the actual startRecord method.

let outputURL = self.applicationDocumentsDirectory().appendingPathExtension("test1")?.appendingPathExtension("mov") self.camera.startRecording(withOutputUrl: outputURL) print(self.camera.isRecording) // always false!

any help would be great. the photo capture is working fine.
