Recording with FPS 60 cannot be stopped

[Tomáš Válek]

Hi,

after bindToLifecycle I am trying to set 60 FPS (yes test devices supported recording with 60 FPS).

try {
        val options = CaptureRequestOptions.Builder()
                     .setCaptureRequestOption(CaptureRequest.CONTROL_AE_TARGET_FPS_RANGE, Range(FPS60, FPS60))
                        .build()
        val cameraControl = Camera2CameraControl.from(camera!!.cameraControl)
        cameraControl.captureRequestOptions = options
} catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {
        e.printStackTrace()
}

This works for foreground recording with preview, but It does not work for background recording.

Logcat is full of:

E/mm-camera: <IMGLIB><ERROR> 902: module_ppeiscore_handle_dis_update: MISMATCH Old matrix. Ignore event, since no frame for it!
E/mm-camera: <IMGLIB><ERROR> 965: module_ppeiscore_handle_dis_update: Error path!
D/VideoEncoder: Drop buffer by not in start-stop range.
D/VideoEncoder: Drop buffer by not in start-stop range.

When I used val videoCaptureBuilder = VideoCapture.Builder() from package name androidx.camera.core with videoCaptureBuilder.setVideoFrameRate(60), It worked perfectly..

which device are you using? Probably this is device dependent:  I tried you code on Pixel6 Pro, the captured file does show 60 FPS;

but on a device not supporting 60fps (getCameraCharacteristic(CameraCharacteristics.CONTROL_AE_AVAILABLE_TARGET_FPS_RANGES)), the code executed ok, but when capturing it stuttered very severely, then it recovered after 1 or 2 sec itself(on capturing), the captured video frame rate (it would be an average) is about 7 or 8 (depends on captured time period).

Hi,

Thanks for the question. camera-video doesn't support customized frame rate for now. And manually setting it through Camera2CameraControl may introduce unexpected behavior.

Pixel 2 Android 11.

When will it be available? Customers expect recording in 60 FPS for more than a year ...
