java.lang.IllegalStateException: Surface was requested when the Recorder had encountered error androidx.camera.video.internal.encoder.InvalidConfigException: android.media.MediaCodec$CodecException: Error 0xffffec77

This error is happening when I take a video but I discard it and want to take another one. In code I'm just calling the fun bindCameraUseCases() again.

Need more information: only one capture session is supported. do you unbind the previous one before you bind the new one?

Thanks for the reports. This is a known issue and we are currently working on a bug fix. Will keep this thread updated on progress.

@mayowa-egbewunmi That specific issue has been addressed with this change which should be part of the next release.

[mayowa-egbewunmi]

Thanks @temcguir for the update. I look forward to the fix

[mayowa-egbewunmi]

Any timeline on when the next release will be out?

[KiemDuong]

I'm looking forward to the fix too. My app has many crashes related to this issue.

I have tried with 1.1.0-beta02, but still encounter this issue.
@tnt-ndricimh @mayowa-egbewunmi How about you with 1.1.0-beta02 ?

[mayowa-egbewunmi]

Hi @temcguir Do you have any update on this issue?

[temcguir]

Sorry for the delay in updating this bug report. The crash should no longer occur as of 1.1.0-beta03, though an error code might still be present in VideoRecordEvent.Finalize. In 1.1.0-rc01, which was released a few days ago, the root cause of the issue was addressed, so it should no longer occur.
