Recording video only possible with certain apps.

[Nexolight]

At the moment it's impossible to record videos with the camera or screenrecorder apps. Some hint's may be left in issue #2

I suspect codec issues.

There are some Mobiles CM13 record videos is still broken like Samsung I9300 S3 (I have it) and some Motorola. Maybe the same with P8. Here you find more https://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/Iee07ed1147713a6397fff43e3bbd4f4ed08b56b7

[Nexolight]

The property which they mention is interesting It should be already merged but I remember that video recording wasn't broken at the very beginning (Screenrecorder)

Do you know this wrapper for the camera?

Don't get the link to work - but here is where Google found it. Search on Google for this string: https://github.com/debbiche/android_device_huawei_gra_l09/blob/master/camera/CameraWrapper.cpp

Ops - I'm sorry, it's for P8 Lite

[Nexolight]

I had it previously in my local build without knowing exactly what it does. But it worked without it and I'm pretty sure the video recording issue is not a camera issue. I even had some broken mp4 files when I messed a bit with the vendor codec files. Normal screenrecording has issues as well.

Not to mention that I was able to record videos before I did the HWC fix. It included messing a bit with a library which may be involved here as well.

Todo would be testing it with that fix reverted. In case it would work - there's an opensource HWC and also it should run just fine without it. The real struggle before came from the fact that not all cores were used.

[Nexolight]

I reverted the HWC fix and that helps for screencast and various app crashes but not for video recording with camera. It's basically still the same issue.

But this could be a hint. It happens after I try to open the cam for recording the 2nd time. The first time the log is flooded so I can't see what's wrong.

Hi, maybe this could help for next build 👍 https://github.com/Meticulus/android_device_huawei_hi6250/commit/6ddc966c462cdc3d45d81335c265f250c1de98b6

[Nexolight]

The issue wasn't yet updated. WIth the hwc from XePeleato and thus the cm libgui library and surfaceflinger video recording does work. At least the screen recorder and the camera with some but not all apps.

[Nexolight]

7ceecb8585afa1896b175da2be5b1d54dd13496e fixes a lot of issues Also video recording which I can confirm does work with footej and probably any app that uses an older api.
