Error Opening Android Camera For Streaming Video

I'm trying to write video stream from my Galaxy Tab to server. according to this manual i should do something like this: frontCamera = getFrontCamera(); if((socket

Solution 1:

I don't see output format setup, so try adding to recorder set up:

 recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.DEFAULT);

Solution 2:

Have a look

And though it is streaming video, so that set -

recorder.setOutputFormat(8);
recorder.setOutputFile(socketFd);

Have fun.

Solution 3:

I've a hack here, extending media recorder class and removing super.setVideoFrameRate(rate) solves the problem for me.

Solution 4:

If you still want to use CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH with the front camera, you can use the following:

CamcorderProfile camcorderProfile = CamcorderProfile.get(currentCameraId, CamcorderProfile.QUALITY_HIGH);
recorder.setProfile(camcorderProfile);

where int currentCameraId is Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_BACK or ...FRONT

So the profile is indeed dependent on the camera (for high-end phones it appears to work fine without the distinction, since they all support 1080p by now, but low-end phones may crash otherwise)
