Error when use MediaRecorder when session is connecting about opentok-android-sdk-samples HOT 13 CLOSED

Hi @papitis ,

Please, could you add more info about the error you are getting? Do you want to record the publisher stream or the entire screen?
Using MediaRecorder with TextureViews should not be a problem.

Yes i want to Record with MediaRecorder only the publisher stream, i take as example "Custom-Video-Driver" but i can't initialize MediaRecorder it gaves me:
Error on start -19

I initialize MEDIARECORDER on the CustoVideoDriver class which extends BaseVideoCapturer:
on function "init ( )" , and start recording on function "startCapture( )"
` // Start preview
mCamera.setPreviewCallbackWithBuffer(this);
mCamera.startPreview();

    mPreviewBufferLock.lock();
    mExpectedFrameSize = bufSize;
    isCaptureRunning = true;
    mPreviewBufferLock.unlock();

    try {
        recorder.start();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    isCaptureStarted = true;

Hi @papitis

Using MediaRecorder with TextureViews should not be a problem. We are going to try to reproduce the scenario you comment.

I use Texture Views, I'd appreciate your help.

Yes i'm still having problem with this feature of opentok when i want to use MediaRecorder on publisher video.
Please you give me a favor if you reproduce that issue.

Thanks

Hi!

First, let me give you some hints on how we have recorder the publisher stream in the past.

• You can use the MediaProjection API to record the screen too.
• If using the MediaRecorder, you don't need to use a CustomCapturer, you can setup the MediaRecorder in the Activity, and feed it with the input surfaces for the publisher.
• You can skip MediaRecorder or MediaProjection and use MediaCodec to directly save the pubilsher video frames using a video encoder. In this case, you would need to build your own capturer with will save frames to the video using the MediaCodec and to render them in the view. This option is the most difficult of these three. I recommend you use any of the others above.

For reproducing your issue, we need some more details in order to be able to reproduce the exact issue. How are you setting up the MediaRecorder? I strongly recommend you to move the recorder code out of the CustomCapturer and drop it on your Activity code.

I was setting up in the CustomCapturer, then i initialize in the Activity Code, i'm going to the two second option,
That is in the publisher options, i delete the option (CAPTURER)

mPublisher = new Publisher.Builder(this)
                     .capturer(new CustomCapturer())
                     .build();

so it's going to be:

mPublisher = new Publisher.Builder(this).build();

And the MediaRecorder like this in a function:

mCamera = Camera.open(mCameraIndex);
        mCurrentDeviceInfo = new Camera.CameraInfo();
        Camera.getCameraInfo(mCameraIndex, mCurrentDeviceInfo);
        recorder = new MediaRecorder();
        recorder.setCamera(mCamera); // This camera object got fromCustomVideoCapturer
        //mCamera.unlock();
        recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.DEFAULT);
        recorder.setOutputFile(routeVideo);
        try {
            recorder.prepare();
            Log.i("****** Recorder","Ready");
        } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

it's that ok?

In the session options i should use the "Texture view" option?

mSession = new Session.Builder(this, apiKey, sessionId).
        sessionOptions(new Session.SessionOptions() {
            @Override
            public boolean useTextureViews() {
                return true;
            }
        }).build();
        mSession.setSessionListener(this);
        mSession.connect(tokenId);
