Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Martin Shuman [:Marty]]

Attachment: logcat-camera-error.txt

Description:
If the user opens a camera share activity through an MMS attachment, the camera will be calibrated to record a low resolution video suitable for MMS file size limits. The camera cannot successfully record the video and presents the user with the error message: "Video not recorded. An error prevented Camera form recording the video."


Repro Steps:
1) Update a Aries to 20150604140701
2) Open the Messages app and compose a new message.
3) Select the attach (paperclip) icon and select Camera
4) Change Camera to Video mode and record a video

Actual:
The video is not saved, and the camera throws an error message.

Expected:
The video is saved and attached to the MMS properly.

This issue does NOT occur on Flame 3.0

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:
Functional issue of a core app.

Comment 3

[Justin D'Arcangelo [:justindarc]]

Andrew, can you take a look at this? It looks like the camera is definitely recording in low-resolution, but never succeeds at saving the file because an error is thrown.

Comment 4

[Naoki Hirata :nhirata (please use needinfo instead of cc)]

Blocking as this may be a dogfooder use case.

The video records successfully and plays back fine locally on my laptop but it appears there is something different and/or wrong about it:

Looks like it failed to decode the metadata, but as for why, I see no clue:

Attachment: Recorded MMS low res video file

Here is the video file from comment 5. Playback is fine on Linux but does not decode on FFOS.

[Doug Sherk (:drs) (inactive)]

Sotaro, Paul, can you take a look at this?

Comment 9

[JW Wang [:jwwang] [:jw_wang]]

John might be also interested.

Comment 10

[John Lin [:jhlin][:jolin]]

It seems nsMediaSniffer gets incorrect MIME type because of the 'isom' compatible brand in 'ftyp' box so a MP4Decoder will be created but it doesn't support H.263 decoding. I think in this case MediaOmxDecoder should be used instead.

Matthew, 3GPP video(H.263) blob recorded on B2G will be recognized as MP4 because of [1]. Is there any particular reason for the algorithm to accept 'isom'?

I'm not sure, that code originates from bug 859711 where it was added by Marco.

The spec this sniffing code originates from (https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/#signature-for-mp4) specifically ignores the ftyp, so I'm not sure why we're examining it at all...

 Thanks for the info. Turns out Paul already filed bug 868333.

:jolin seems already working for this bug.

It works as expected after upgrading to latest foxfooding OTA:

This issue is verified fixed on the latest Spark build.
Low resolution video can be recorded and saved properly and is attached to the MMS message.
