The problem here is the following:

You should also catch error messages in your application, that would've
told you already that the encoder failed to configure :)

So the problem here seems to be that the QCOM encoder does not like the
color format we selected for it. That's the old problem that the
MediaCodec API does not give us enough information about which actual
color formats the codec wants.


This will need some debugging on your side to find the correct one for
this specific hardware. Take a look further up to see which possible
color formats it supports:

It claims to support the two color formats that in the first log it claims to know nothing about. And it doesn't indeed know about color format 21, which is what we tried.

You'll have to try the other ones to see if any of them work for this
codec, and also try to understand what exactly these color formats are.
If we support them in the decoder, you can check there how they're
handled... otherwise reverse engineering is needed.
