MediaCodec$CodecException: Error 0xffffec77 When trying to record video via CameraX while LiTr compressing

[LiveInParadise]

This error happens in CameraX only when LiTr library doing compress

Receiving this error -

This is how I'm creating MediaFormat

private fun createVideoMediaFormat(trackFormat: VideoTrackFormat): MediaFormat {
        return MediaFormat().apply {
            setString(MediaFormat.KEY_MIME, "video/avc")
            setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_WIDTH, trackFormat.width)
            setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_HEIGHT, trackFormat.height)
            setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_BIT_RATE, trackFormat.bitrate)
            setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL, trackFormat.keyFrameInterval)
            setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_FRAME_RATE, trackFormat.frameRate)
            setLong(MediaFormat.KEY_DURATION, trackFormat.duration)
            setInteger(KEY_ROTATION, trackFormat.rotation)
        }
    }

CameraX Recorder class has simple create method where I set highest supported quality -

 val recorder = Recorder.Builder().apply {
                        getVideoQuality()?.let {
                            setQualitySelector(QualitySelector.from(it))
                        }
                    }.build()

Can reproduce this on Samsung SM-J710FQ with Android 8

litr version - 1.5.4 CameraX - 1.2.1

What problem can it be?

I don't think we experimented with CameraX yet. @IanDBird can you take a look when you get a moment?

Hey 👋 Curious how you're integrating LiTr + CameraX. The current changes I landed recently really only support Camera2 as the API is more flexible about where the camera is rendering too. I have looked into proper CameraX support and was considering moving it to a separate module (since it requires a fair amount of dependencies).

If you're able to share how you're attaching CameraX, then happy to see if I can suggest a short term workaround until native support is ready?
