[BUG] [CAMERA] Flutter camera freezes when start recording video on Android

[divyanshub024]

Description

I'm using Flutter camera plugin camera: ^0.5.4+1. For some reason, my camera freezes when I start recording video.
This is the error I'm getting.

I/flutter (28050): startVideoRecording
I/RequestQueue(28050): Repeating capture request cancelled.
I/CameraDeviceState(28050): Legacy camera service transitioning to state IDLE
E/CameraDevice-0-LE(28050): Surface with size (w=3840, h=2160) and format 0x22 is not valid, size not in valid set: [2048x1536, 1920x1440, 2048x1080, 1920x1080, 2560x800, 1440x1080, 1280x960, 1280x720, 1280x480, 1280x400, 864x480, 640x640, 800x480, 720x480, 768x432, 640x480, 576x432, 640x360, 480x360, 480x320, 384x288, 352x288, 320x240, 240x160, 176x144, 160x120]

E/MediaRecorder(28050): stop called in an invalid state: 8
I/flutter (28050): Error: videoRecordingFailed
I/flutter (28050): Error Message: null

Here is my code of start and stop video recording. The same code use to work before but it's not working now.

Future<String> startVideoRecording() async {
    print('startVideoRecording');
    if (!_controller.value.isInitialized) {
      return null;
    }
    setState(() {
      _isRecording = true;
    });
    _timerKey.currentState.startTimer();

    final Directory extDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
    final String dirPath = '${extDir.path}/Videos/Post';
    await Directory(dirPath).create(recursive: true);
    final String filePath = '$dirPath/${_timestamp()}.mp4';

    if (_controller.value.isRecordingVideo) {
      // A recording is already started, do nothing.
      return null;
    }

    try {
      videoPath = filePath;
      await _controller.startVideoRecording(filePath);
    } on CameraException catch (e) {
      _showCameraException(e);
      return null;
    }
    return filePath;
  }

  Future<void> stopVideoRecording() async {
    if (!_controller.value.isRecordingVideo) {
      return null;
    }
    _timerKey.currentState.stopTimer();
    setState(() {
      _isRecording = false;
    });

    try {
      await _controller.stopVideoRecording();
    } on CameraException catch (e) {
      _showCameraException(e);
      return null;
    }
  }

Facing similar error on one of my test Samsung phone (GT N7100) . I have also tried the example flutter camera app (camera: ^0.5.4+1) but it freezes and the recorded video is also corrupted. Here ResolutionPreset is medium.

And the above error comes which @divyanshub024 mentioned is when the ResolutionPreset is high on the CameraController.

 controller = CameraController(
      cameraDescription,
      ResolutionPreset.high,  //This is high
      enableAudio: enableAudio,
    );

[troy379]

I'm having the same freeze for Pixel 3 with Android Q onboard...

[Sp4Rx]

I'm having the same freeze for Pixel 3 with Android Q onboard...

@troy379 have you tried low or medium settings?

[troy379]

@Sp4Rx Yes, I've tried the medium one and got the same behavior

[divyanshub024]

For me, it works when ResolutionPreset is medium.

[PerLycke]

I hope you're not suggesting decreasing the resolution preset is the correct way to counter this bug @divyanshub024

This is something that happens after migrating to the new embedding. I don't know why yet but I'm hopeful @matthew-carroll or someone else from the Flutter team will figure it out. On my Note 10+ it freezes after a couple of seconds moving the camera around. Until this is properly fixed, I guess you need to roll back to a commit before the new embedding commits.

[matthew-carroll]

@bparrishMines do you happen to know anything about this bug? Do you know if the migrated plugin suffers from this?

[bparrishMines]

@matthew-carroll @PerLycke It looks like this was reported before the plugin was migrated. I can test it on previous versions to see where it started misbehaving. It may be caused by adding pause and resume functionality or by the resolution fix by @mklim.

[PerLycke]

Ok thanks. I did exactly this now to reproduce the issue:

Run ml_vision example package together with latest camera source. In the example app I selected CameraPreviewScanner. Took just a couple of seconds for everything to freeze.

Tested on the Note 10+.

Btw, we have a production app in store with camera sources up to 86d245f with no issues, so it's not the commits you mention @bparrishMines , but something after that.

[PerLycke]

@bparrishMines It seems like a different issue from the one OP encountered, I'm not completely sure why I ended up posting it here. I hope my steps to reproduce it above makes sense though. Should I open a new issue?

[PerLycke]

Actually never mind. The ml_vision camera streaming seems broken in unmodified state on the Note 10+. I reverted back the camera plugin 6 months and it's still broken, so no recent commits is the cause.

We do some lifting of heavy camera tasks to background thread in our production app, and it's working when having these patches.

Sorry that I didn't spend more time debugging before coming to this conclusion, I thought the ml_vision / camera streaming was working out of the box.

Bottom line: ml_vision camera streaming is not working on the Note 10+.

Edit: Opened a new issue for this, as other might experience the same issue. #43566

[syonip]

I'm having the same issue as OP, on a Xiaomi A1.
My device can take full HD videos, but when using the flutter camera plugin, any resolution above "medium" causes the the camera to freeze, with the exception ...and format 0x22 is not valid, size not in valid set:...

From doing a bit of online research, it seems that the cause is flutter camera plugin's usage of android's Camera2 API, which many android devices don't support.

I've tested Camera(1) API on the same device and it can record full HD videos.

I've come across this library which implements a good fallback to the old Camera API when necessary: https://github.com/infinum/Android-GoldenEye

It might be a good direction to follow for solving this problem within the flutter camera plugin.

[Loopex2019]

After Updating to the latest version (in this case : 0.5.7+4) the video recording works fine for ResolutionPreset.high , but for the ultraHigh , veryHigh and max it doesn't freeze but instead of that it stretches the camera .

[AkhilSaji]

same here

[aghanti7]

Same issue as OP. Any updates on this flutter team? Camera plugin is turning out to be a real pain and roadblock in using flutter for a production app!

[ashokYadav0311]

Hi Team,
any update on this issue.

[ariefwijaya]

Same here, stop recording always encountered error :

Error Message: Failed to configure camera session

I'm just using Example from camera plugin.

[mesiser]

Same problem. Did anyone find any workarounds?

[spideyduulr]

I also have it in IOS

[harshapulikollu]

Facing same issue on different devices.

ResolutionPreset is max

• Emulator with API R:
  Aspect ratio: 0.5625
  Size: 1280 X 720
  Front camera: CameraPreview working and Video records as expected. ✅
  Rear camera: CameraPreview freezes and video corrupted.❌

• Xiaomi Mi A2 with android 10:
  Aspect ratio: 0.5625
  Size: 1280 X 720
  Front camera: CameraPreview working and Video records as expected.✅
  Rear camera: CameraPreview freezes and video corrupted.❌

• Xiaomi Redmi 5A with Android 8.1:
  Aspect ratio: 0.5625
  Size: 1280 X 720
  Front camera: CameraPreview freezes, video corrupted, and image preview was weird.❌
  Rear camera: CameraPreview freezes and video corrupted.❌

Camera is core feature that many apps use, this needs to fix ASAP.

[apdanduran]

Has a solution occurred about this problem?

[aghanti7]

I can't think of anything other than migrating to image_picker :(

Image capturing and video recording working as expected with medium resolution on emulator and two other devices I tested.
If quality is not your priority then you can try this option, else image picker is the way.

I am testing in Asus Zenfone Max 3 and All Presets are not working

Hey @kuyazee could you check this solution? Its a hacky one though

I have a small freeze when i start or stop recording videos with every resolution setting.
Used device: Samsung S9

[mvanbeusekom]

I am trying to reproduce the issue mentioned by the OP but having a hard time doing so on the current version (0.6.3+2). I am trying to reproduce it using the [camera example] App and tested on the following devices (all I have available at the moment):

• Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G900F);
• LG Nexus 5X;
• Emulator (Android Q and R).

Can anyone confirm this is still an issue is in the latest versions of the plugin? If so could you supply some information on the device you are testing on (make/ model/ Android version)?

[harshapulikollu]

Hi @mvanbeusekom ,
I have upgraded camera plugin from 0.5.7+3 => 0.6.3+2 as suggested. Then I tried the example code provided in camera plugin example page .
After running the on my emulator (Android 11 - API R) I couldn't see the camera preview at all instead I see a message Tap a Camera, even I tried to change cameras from front and rear.
I also tested this on the physical device Xiaomi Redmi 5A (Android 8.0) and found the same issue, the Screen showing Tap a Camera.
As said I tried to click on the radio button to change the cameras from rear to front and vice versa but, not working.

All the permissions were granted for the application, required to access the camera. By downgrading to 0.5.7+3, I was able to access the camera in the same application.

[mvanbeusekom]

Hi @harshapulikollu,

This can happen when you have run flutter pub upgrade. Due to an unfortunate configuration error in the camera 0.6.3+2 release it depends on the wrong version of the camera_platform_interface package which contains a breaking change. This has already been fixed in master but hasn't been published yet.

To work around this issue you can add a dependency override to your pubspec.yaml file and run a flutter pub get command:

  dependency_overrides:
    camera_platform_interface: ">=1.0.4 <1.1.0"

See also issue #73091 for more details.

[harshapulikollu]

Hi @mvanbeusekom,

Thank you for the suggestion, I added the dependency overrides and now with the camera update(0.6.3+2) version able to access the video and tested the video recording.
It's working as expected on the device( Xiaomi Redmi 5A) and that initially wasn't working.

[mvanbeusekom]

@harshapulikollu thank you very much for confirming it now works on the Xiaomi Redmi 5A, that is very helpful to know.

@divyanshub024, it's been a long time since you posted this issue, but noticed you are still active in the community, could you maybe confirm if this is still an issue on the latest version of the camera plugin?

[divyanshub024]

Hey @mvanbeusekom!! Looks like this issue does not occur on the latest version. I'm closing this issue. If anyone faces this issue again then we'll reopen this issue.

Thanks!!

[mvanbeusekom]

Thanks a lot @divyanshub024!

@kamleshwebtech could you please share some more information on your environment? The following information would be very helpful:

1. The version of the camera plugin you are using;
2. The output of flutter doctor -v command;

[mmanela]

@mvanbeusekom I am new to flutter and the camera plugin but I think I am hitting the same issue. I am using the camera version 0.7.0+2. The camera preview works fine in the emulator by on my device Sony XPeria F5321 (mobile) android-arm64 • Android 8.0.0 (API 26) it errors with the follow and doesn't show the preview. I created an issue with more details (#75641)
