Video recording fails to save to file

stopVideoRecording() always returns false, with no error

  private var tmpVideoFile: File? = null

  @SuppressLint("SimpleDateFormat")
  @Throws(IOException::class)
  private fun getNewVideoFile(): File {
    // Create an image file name
    val timeStamp: String = SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss").format(Date())
    val directory = "${Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().absolutePath}/filmit/videos".also { File(it).mkdirs() }
    return File(directory, "$timeStamp.mp4")
  }

  @SuppressLint("MissingPermission")
  private fun listenToVideoRecordEvent() {
    publisherDisposable = videoRecordEventPublisher.subscribe {
      if (it) {
        recordVideoFrame.visibility = View.VISIBLE
        tmpVideoFile = getNewVideoFile()
        recordVideoCamera.startVideoRecording(tmpVideoFile!!) {
          // Configure video (MediaRecorder) parameters
          audioEncoder = AudioEncoder.Aac
          videoFrameRate = 60
          videoStabilization = true
          videoEncoder = VideoEncoder.H263
        }
      } else {
        if(recordVideoCamera.stopVideoRecording()) {
          uploadTmpVideo()
        } else {
          Log.e(TAG, "failed to save video to file")
          Log.d(TAG, tmpVideoFile.toString())
        }
        recordVideoFrame.visibility = View.GONE
      }
    }

  }

No error is thrown even after logging

It seems, on certain devices, the library is falling back to camera1 implementation and thus could not start video recording (not supported on camera1). Implementing video recording on camera1 might be a future enhancement. In regards with this issue, the library functions as designed.
