Awaiting for TakeVideoAsync is not enough for having the video saved

Bug

Version Number of Plugin: 2.6.2 Device Tested On: Samsung galaxy S4, OnePlus X

Expected Behavior

When using "await CrossMedia.Current.TakeVideoAsync" I expect to have the video saved at the path in the Media File

Actual Behavior

When using "await CrossMedia.Current.TakeVideoAsync" and trying to read the file, there is sometimes a null returned, because the file wasn't already saved. After adding a Task.Delay of some seconds, it is possible to read the file.

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

using (var file = await CrossMedia.Current.TakeVideoAsync(new Plugin.Media.Abstractions.StoreVideoOptions()
            {
                Quality = Plugin.Media.Abstractions.VideoQuality.Medium
            }))
            {
                if (file == null || string.IsNullOrEmpty(file.Path))
                    return;
               // Working with that delay
               // await Task.Delay(6000);
                byte[] videoAsByte = ByteArraysHelpers.ReadToEnd(file.GetStream());
                if (videoAsByte .Count() <= 0) {
                                var s = "sadness";
                }else{
                                var s = "happiness";
                }
}

Thanks for your help

Also have this problem, and adding await Task.Delay(6000); helps me. I think this problem bind with synchronization threads.

Same problem, however only happens on Android for myself (probably due to the device's low spec), and only when taking videos less than 5 seconds long. Otherwise it works fine. Adding the Task.Delay helps.

Have a similiar problem. In my case, i can get the video stream but video length is 0 bytes until i close the app.

Thanks for your help and for this great plugin.

Any news about this? We are also facing this issue. Await Task.Delay is not solving the problem as well.
