On the web client, the quality of the audio recording is high. On android client, too, make high-quality recording through a microphone.

https://github.com/tinode/tindroid/blob/devel/app/src/main/java/co/tinode/tindroid/MessagesFragment.java

For change lines 938,939

mAudioRecorder.setAudioEncodingBitRate(16);

mAudioRecorder.setAudioSamplingRate(16000);

..on

mAudioRecorder.setAudioEncodingBitRate(128000);

mAudioRecorder.setAudioSamplingRate(44100);

Why is the audio stored in the database? Why not in a file like other files.

Thanks!

That's an oversight. I'll add explicit parameters to setup.

The recording is for voice which is ~8KHz range. Why does it need to be music-quality? The parameters you proposed will create much larger files.

Small objects are stored in the database, large are stored in a dedicated storage. It's controlled by

Additionally, long audios are recorded but not played back. Not in tindroid, not in webapp. The file is created but does not play for longer than 6-8 seconds.

I think this is a server cause in the chat. Tried changing the amount of memory max_message_size in tinode.conf. But it doesn't seem to affect the audio messages.

All actions are performed from one account. Recorded audio, both with android and web clients. Сan't listen to the audio message for more than ~8 seconds.

The issue with long audio records not working in Android is fixed in https://github.com/tinode/tindroid/tree/media and merged to devel.

There is an issue with seeking longs recorded in Chrome due to this bug:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=642012

I'll try to fix it in the webapp.

Found an crash [tindroid]
1 Record audio from webapp client for at least 1 min.
2 Record android client audio for at least 1 min.

On android(tindroid), start playing audio recording from the webapp by rewinding. And immediately launch the audio recorded on the android. It will crash (tindroid) immediately.

If it does not crash then it did help. I'm pretty sure it does not crash on that audio that it was crashing on before.

The freeze comes only from long audios (<1min) and only recorded via webapp.

If jumping between webapp and tindroid records while scrolling through the audio record.

Top 3 audios recorded from webapp and bottom 3 from tindroid.

When I start the webapp recording by scrolling, and then I start the recording with tindroid, it freezes.

I doubt that only with my model such a closure. I tried it on other models, as a result, the application hangs and closes.
I suspect that the hang may be due to connecting the database, searching for audio playback files.
Which fails to play with the transition between playing long audios and scrolling through them.
Next comes the closing of applications that cannot be played.
