Pause status on RecordController.Listener

[altunbayrakergun]

Hello Pedro,
I am developing an application where I stream along with video recording. In this application, the user can mark certain periods of the video and use it later. In order to show this time during the flow, I use a different timer and increase it every second. Therefore, I need the recorded video duration to also be exactly equal to the time information I advance. In order to do this, I need to capture the exact moments when the video recording starts, the exact moments it pauses, or the exact moments the recording ends. Using RecordListener, I can capture the exact moment when video recording starts with the RECORDING status. However, the PAUSED status that is triggered when I pause the video recording, is not triggering at the exact moment. The recording continues 2 or more seconds and then pauses. Therefore, the time variable I manage does not match the actual video duration. Serious shifts occur when rendering the moments marked by the user.

I need to clearly capture the moment when video recording is paused or stopped completely. Is there any way to do this?

Hello,

When you pause/resume the video, the status is send inmediately:
https://github.com/pedroSG94/RootEncoder/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/pedro/library/base/recording/BaseRecordController.java#L67

So, I don't understand that 2 seconds.
How are you checking that time? do you have a code example to reproduce?

Anyway you can try this.
You can access to internal ts this way:

1- Create a custom recordController:

class ExtendedRecordController: AndroidMuxerRecordController() {

  //in micro seconds
  fun getVideoTs(): Long {
    return this.videoInfo.presentationTimeUs
  }

  //in micro seconds
  fun getAudioTs(): Long {
    return this.audioInfo.presentationTimeUs
  }
}

2- Set record controller:

val recordController = ExtendedRecordController()
genericStream.setRecordController(recordController)

3 - Get ts on Pause callback:

genericStream.startRecord(path) {
  when (it) {
    RecordController.Status.STARTED -> TODO()
    RecordController.Status.STOPPED -> TODO()
    RecordController.Status.RECORDING -> TODO()
    RecordController.Status.PAUSED -> {
      recordController.getVideoTs()
      recordController.getAudioTs()
    }
    RecordController.Status.RESUMED -> TODO()
  }
}

I'm not sure exactly why there is such a shift. I start and stop my own timer when the RecordController.Listener event occurs. But when I look at the recorded video, I see that it is 2 seconds or more long. I tested on Samsung Note10+, Redmi Note 9 Pro, Xiaomi 10 Pro devices. I had the same problem with all of them.
My sample code is as follows.
rtmpCamera1.startRecord(Paths.get(mVideoPath, this.mVideoFile).toAbsolutePath().toString(), new RecordController.Listener() {

                        @Override
                        public void onStatusChange(RecordController.Status status) {
                            if(status == RecordController.Status.RECORDING){
                                setTimerOnStream(true);
                            }else if(status == RecordController.Status.STOPPED || status == RecordController.Status.PAUSED){
                                setTimerOnStream(false);
                            }
                        }

}

When the Pause or Stop actions are triggered, I stop my own timer. But the video recording does not stop immediately, it continues recording. For this reason, there is a difference of 2-3 seconds between my own timer and the real video.

By the way, I'll try your suggestion.
Thank you for all
