2 years ago I am afraid I am not sure whether shall I pick your commit into this project since there are other users using it. Maybe it is better you keep this feature for your own project.
If you reset MediaCodec in the middle of the stream, then the video freezes (artifacts) in the players. After the experiments, I seem to understand what the reason is. Not all predicred frames have time to be sent to the stream (the encoder stops). Therefore, first we complete the sending of all P-frames (this is signaled by the MediaCodec.BUFFER_FLAG_KEY_FRAME), then we reconfigure the encoder with new parameters.
Tested in latest Chrome and FF. The video now changes format and continues to play
Perhaps you will have other thoughts about this. Please give comments
