Issues with video record size and flicker screen

Hello There,

Is there a recording limit/size limit for the video record sessions? I’m able to capture only upto 14MB (~18 secs) worth of video record. If I cross 20 secs, then I will get the below error message.

Interpreter:/> startVideo 1
Started Recording Video

Interpreter:/> stopVideo
Large file cant transfer
END123

Another interesting issue that the mobile screen is stable (with RAT installed) as long as Internet is connected (WiFi) i.e., whenever I turn off the Internet connection, the mobile screen starts to flicker. Connecting back to Internet makes the flicker to stop.

Tried disabling the battery optimizations, draw over other apps, all notifications settings, however still the same.

Both issues are replicable on-demand in my Moto G(6) running Android 9 and C&C server is Ubuntu 20.04.

Thank you, Ray.

Hey, Thanks for this awesome testing 😃

it flickers even when reconnecting to Internet, which was not noticed before

The flickering issue will be somewhat permanent coz some devices don’t show any animation while restarting the activity and some devices show some animation hence the flicker thingy is seen as it is restarting the activity. So the flickering is device dependent. 😅

And about the camera issue. I will try to implement the recording in a foreground service #65 as running the camera in services is very limited I guess 😅

@karma9874 Thanks for the explanation. Maybe I can check the behaviour with other android models 🙂

Please let me know once you’ve completed the foreground service part and I can test it out!

Thank you for your help. 🙂👍
