1154458 - [Camera] Video recording fails after a long (~44-minute) 720p video

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Camera, defect)

Description

[Diego Wilson [:diego]]

1. Open camera app
2. Set in camcorder mode
3. Set video resolution to 720p.
4. Record a video.

The app will complain at around 44 minutes when the video is ~3.8G size with "You have run out of media storage space" [1] even though there is still space left on the sd card. I can even record another video after I see this error.

My guess is that we're hitting some file size limit.

That would be the file size limit of the FAT32 filesystem on the uSD card:

Not much we can do about this without changing to another FS.

(I'm also pretty sure this is restricted to neither Flame nor v2.2.)

Does it lose what was already recorded?

Nope. It keeps the recording on the SD card

Ah I see. That does make sense.
