HI,

I fixed the video record.
Can you plz try it out and report if it works.
Sadly with my cam I get a darker Video, when I record the stream. The record is performed over the BitmapToVideoEncoder.java file. -> There in Line 360 the Video Format is chosen. I tried out some different, but non of them worked so far. Perhaps you find a solution with a different COLOR_Format ;)

So far,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Could you provide to me the APK file? I'd like to avoid installing everything that's required for doing it myself, since it's a lot and I won't need it for anything else.

Hoi,

i will try to fix the brightness error the next couple of days and will then upload the app to F-Droid and PlayStore.

Really looking forward to trying the new apk. I'm out of ideas to make video recording work. Thanks for all the work you have done on this, it's making a huge difference where it's needed!

Hi,
you can try this apk --> app-release.apk.zip (delete the .zip from the attached file and install the apk). The video record should work, but there are issues with the brightness. If you can life with it for now, you can use this apk. Perhaps I can fix this issue in the future.

So far,

Peter
