Video playback not working on older devices

[lukeswitz]

• Recorded .mp4 continues logging encoding instead of playing back. Possible it’s still parsing the frames together, even with 2 second recording duration.

• Monitor does capture both image and video in logs without failure, a fix from prior builds, but the video does not respond to touch event.

• Isolated to legacy devices AOS 5-7, flagship yet to be tested.

• takes two attempts to remove the session log, sometimes won’t erase until fresh install.

Yes, video needs a round of QA for sure on older devices.

[lukeswitz]

Now appears in logs as a blank video but the monitors all work otherwise, New log for issue:

I/System.out: [WARN] . (:0): No frames output.

App doesn’t work on most older devices. Closing.

Video is definitely a feature I am happy to restrict to newer devices.

Beyond that, we should continue to try and support at least back to Android 6 and something like a Nexus 5 or Moto G.

Is the "most older devices" issue related to the camera performance? Turning off the live preview of motion would solve that.
