ACodec configureCodec returning error -38

I am trying to configure a video encoder using MediaCodec for mime=video/avc, width=1920, height=1080. Unfortunately the device complains with the following log:

12-20 13:11:49.410 5781-5817/ I/OMXClient: Treble IOmx obtained

Some codecs are finicky and require special properties.

Failing to specify some of these can cause the MediaCodec configure() call to throw an unhelpful exception.

Must define the following integer properties in the MediaFormat at a minimum:

  • MediaFormat.KEY_BIT_RATE
  • MediaFormat.KEY_FRAME_RATE
  • MediaFormat.KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL
  • MediaFormat.KEY_COLOR_FORMAT

For example:

MediaFormat mediaFormat = MediaFormat.createVideoFormat("video/avc", 1920, 1080);
mediaFormat.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_BIT_RATE, 2000000);
mediaFormat.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_FRAME_RATE, 30);
mediaFormat.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_COLOR_FORMAT, MediaCodecInfo.CodecCapabilities.COLOR_FormatYUV420Planar);
mediaFormat.setInteger(MediaFormat.KEY_I_FRAME_INTERVAL, 1);
