title: iPhone - Failed to save the videos metadata to the filesystem
body: <p>My application uses the UIImagePicker to allow the user to use the camera and capture a photo to edit/etc. I am getting the error message below:</p>
  
  <p>2010-02-03 10:41:24.018 LivingRoom[5333:5303] Failed to save the videos metadata to the filesystem. Maybe the information did not conform to a plist.</p>
  
  <p>Program received signal:  “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”.</p>
  
  <p>A search in Google brings up a number of threads in various forums, with no ultimate response/root cause/suggestions on how to fix/debug. An example is the thread below with code which is very similar to my app:</p>

  <p>The error disappears for a while (10 tests in a row, no errors) if I reboot the iPhone. I have not been able to determine what makes it reoccur after a reboot, but it does. I am not using the video source and the fact that a reboot solves the problem for a while points to some sort of mem leak (perhaps?).</p>
  
  <p>The problem always shows up on both the iPhone (even after the reboot) and the simulator when choosing a photo from the album, but the app does not crash on the iPhone  or the simulator.</p>
  
  <p>The same app with exact code did not have the error message when compiled using SDK 3.0 (last August/September). But 3.1.x has always produced the error message, which means that once a week or so the iPhone needs to be rebooted for the error to disappear. The users are not happy with that solution any longer!!</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestion/clues would be greatly appreciated.</p>
