Low Bitrate and framerate issue
Hello everyone. Hope you're having a nice day.
I see some issues already were reported in the past but closed really with no solution. Default bitrate and framerate of 1920x1080 video is unfortunately terrible ... have artifacts like from 240p videos and max 20-24 fps on Galaxy S21.
The issue seems to be that default bitrate is hardcoded to 1650000 in CGEFrameRecorder.java
public boolean startRecording(int fps, String filename) {
return startRecording(fps, 1650000, filename);
Additionally seems the method public boolean startRecording(int fps, int bitRate, String filename) from CGEFrameRecorder.java is not matching startRecording method from CameraRecordGLSurfaceView and I mostly use CameraRecordGLSurfaceView in my project.
Could anyone help me to add proper startRecording method with fps,bitrate to CameraRecordGLSurfaceView to be able to use my own bitrate and fps ?
100 thanks is advance,
Sure, change the code, call the function: https://github.com/wysaid/android-gpuimage-plus/blob/master/library/src/main/java/org/wysaid/nativePort/CGEFrameRecorder.java#L27
Or, you can extend the CameraRecordGLSurfaceView, and call your own record function, and pass the right bitrate.
Hi many thanks for your suggestion,
I actually implemented ExtendedCameraRecordGLSurfaceView. Code is compilable etc, but have just 1 issue with initialisation of private CGEFrameRecorder mFrameRecorder = new CGEFrameRecorder(); Basically startRecording(fps, bitRate, recordFilename) returns always false and I got Log.i(LOG_TAG, "start recording failed!") generated in below short code, so camera is not recording anything.
Appreciate any suggestion on how to correctly initialise mFrameRecorder as you're the master of this package :)

I call it in a following way from my project (mCameraView is object of ExtendedCameraRecordGLSurfaceView )
mCameraView.startRecording(30, 1650000, recordFilename, new MethodChannel.Result() {
@Override
public void success(Object result) {
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Start recording OK");
}
@Override
public void error(String errorCode, String errorMessage, Object errorDetails) {
Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Start recording failed");
}
@Override
public void notImplemented() {
// todo
}
});
Hi, I mean have described the problem above.
As per your advise I extended CameraRecordGLSurfaceView to ExtendedCameraRecordGLSurfaceView and I'm trying to force running startRecording(int fps, int bitRate, String recordFilename, MethodChannel.Result result) method to be able to increase bitrate and fps in camera recordings on the new private CGEFrameRecorder mFrameRecorder = new CGEFrameRecorder(); object instance.
The only issue I have is that mFrameRecorder.startRecording(int fps, int bitRate, String recordFilename, MethodChannel.Result result) always returns false probably because of incorrect initialsation of CGEFrameRecorder.
I guess initialising CGEFrameRecorder mFrameRecorder = new CGEFrameRecorder(); instance in that way is not enough to have a correct mFrameRecorder object.
So appreciate if you can give a hint how to get correct non-returning-false CGEFrameRecorder object.
Many many thanks
