✨ Exposing available video codes on device about react-native-vision-camera HOT 5 CLOSED

Good feature request.

from react-native-vision-camera.

A dirty workaround, just for debugging time, can be:

In CameraView add:

private val codecs = MediaCodecList(MediaCodecList.ALL_CODECS).codecInfos.filter {
    it.isEncoder && it.supportedTypes[0].startsWith("video")
  }
  private val availableVideoCodecs: List<String> = codecs.map { it.name }

Then in init add a log:
Log.i(TAG, "Available Video Codecs: $availableVideoCodecs")

Open LogCat and, filter for TAG name, here CameraView and ... check Available Video Codecs

Available Video Codecs: [c2.android.avc.encoder, OMX.google.h264.encoder, c2.android.h263.encoder, OMX.google.h263.encoder, c2.android.hevc.encoder, c2.android.mpeg4.encoder, OMX.google.mpeg4.encoder, c2.android.vp8.encoder, OMX.google.vp8.encoder, c2.android.vp9.encoder, OMX.google.vp9.encoder]

Nice find @drLeonymous - I definitely want to expose that API to JS!

I would suggest falling back to H264 when H265 is unavailable, that would be much safer

Instead of exposing it, you can just pass h265 and it will automatically fall back to h264 if h265 is not supported. Added in VisionCamera 4.0.0
