Root Cause

MediaCodec.configure() is called with a MediaFormat containing unsupported parameters (e.g., resolution, bitrate, or profile) for the selected codec on the device's hardware decoder/encoder.

generic

中文

使用包含设备硬件解码器/编码器不支持的参数（例如分辨率、比特率或配置文件）的MediaFormat调用MediaCodec.configure()。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Query codec capabilities using MediaCodecList.getCodecCapabilities() and adjust format parameters (e.g., reduce resolution, change profile). Example: val capabilities = MediaCodecList(MediaCodecList.REGULAR_CODECS).findEncoderForFormat(format); val codecInfo = MediaCodecList.getCodecInfoAt(index); val caps = codecInfo.getCapabilitiesForType(mimeType);

  2. 85% success Fall back to a software codec by using MediaCodecList with a specific component name that is known to support the format, or use MediaCodec.createDecoderByType() with a fallback to MediaCodec.createByCodecName() using a software decoder name.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Hardcode a specific codec name like 'video/avc' without checking device support 80% fail

    Different devices support different profiles and levels within a codec. Hardcoding a codec name does not ensure the format parameters are valid.

  2. Use the highest resolution supported by the camera sensor 75% fail

    The encoder may not support that resolution even if the camera does. The codec's capabilities are independent of the camera's.
