While recording or playing recordings the UI becomes very sluggish

[pvagner]

Steps to reproduce

When I am recording or playing recorded files the UI of the RecordYou app is very sluggish on my device. When I keep it in the background it's recording fine and using other apps while the recording is in progress is working fine too. This is considerably noticeable with new player controls where it's verry difficult to manipulate the position slider. I am unable to figure it out, so I'm posting it here in case you have got an idea.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Greetings

Peter

The fact playback or recording is in progress should have minimal impact on the user experience.

I didn't yet have any comparable issues with the app. Does the issue persist in release builds the same way as in debug builds? I've had some issues with other apps earlier that debug builds just didn't work well at all while release builds did.

I can confirm this issue as well - happening to me too, the weird thing is that when the app is recording the whole phone's UI is sluggish but the resulting screen recording is not. 😅

That seems to be an issue of the MediaRecorder library we use, I doubt we can change anything here.
