Transformation job error on Android 5.0

[dss-kenya]

There seems to be an issue uploading videos from Android 5.0. When trying to "preprocess" a video, there is an IllegalStateException thrown with the following stacktrace:

E/TransformationJob: Transformation job error

Removing all the parameters except for requestId, width, height and frameRate, results in the error below when supplying parameters to videoTranscodingChain

Removing preprocess(....) during an uploadRequest results in the video being uploaded successfully on Android 5.0 but there seem to be playback issues with ExoPlayer.

Any idea what might be missing or messing with preprocess and android 5.0 ?

Code Snippet:

val uploadRequest = mediaManager.upload(fileUri)
                        .options(uploadOptions)
                        .option(CloudinaryConfig.folderKey, signature.folder)
                        .callback(UploadStateEmitter(emitter, CloudinaryConfig))

                    uploadRequest
                        .preprocess(videoPreprocessChainFactory.create(context, uploadRequest.requestId, fileUri))
                        .dispatch(context)

and the parameters are assigned the following values.

val parameters = with(context.resources) {
            Parameters().apply {
                requestId = uploadRequestId
                frameRate = 30
                width = dataRetriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_VIDEO_WIDTH)?.toInt() ?: 0
                height = dataRetriever.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_VIDEO_HEIGHT)?.toInt() ?: 0
                keyFramesInterval = 2
                targetAudioBitrateKbps = 0
                targetVideoBitrateKbps = 3500000
            }
        }

Hi @dss-kenya,

In order to further investigate, can you please let me know if you are able to play this video with ExoPlayer on android 5.0 without uploading it to Cloudinary?

[dss-kenya]

Hi @michalkcloudinay, Yes, i confirm we can play the video pretty well.

Thanks, @dss-kenya for confirming. Can you please open a ticket at support@cloudinary.com and include the video so we can further investigate?
