Hi @rameshkec85, Unfortunately I can't reproduce the issue. Can you please provide more info?

1. Before crash log there is log from MediaRecorder with error code value, will look like start failed: -_number_
2. Also please put this code in onCameraOpened callback https://gist.github.com/3akat/a0e0c74f550c579079ef2b550c490c53 and share logs from it, will look like

   04-10 09:52:43.813 22962-22962/? E/CameraViewActivity: Camera:0
   04-10 09:52:43.813 22962-22962/? E/CameraViewActivity: Hardware level is:_number_
   04-10 09:52:43.814 22962-22962/? E/CameraViewActivity: Camera:1
   04-10 09:52:43.814 22962-22962/? E/CameraViewActivity: Hardware level is:_number_

That would be very helpful, Thank you

Hi @3akat, any update on this ? Let me know if anything required from me.

[3akat]

Hi @rameshkec85, thank you for info but still no results for now, trying to find the reason. If it is not hard, can you please try to run recording with default recorder? I mean FullscreenRecorderActivity or manually through ziggeo.createVideo(...)

[rameshkec85]

Hi @3akat , I have tested with front camera using both activities, which is working fine. FullscreenRecorderActivity and EmbeddedRecorderActivity

But it is failed with CameraViewActivity.java

[3akat]

@rameshkec85 great, thanks for info, I will get rid of the difference in implementation today

[3akat]

Hi @rameshkec85, please, checkout the new version.

[rameshkec85]

Thanks @3akat , its working now.
