MediaRecorder issue on Android Lollipop

I filed a bug report on AOSP. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=80715

"The current SELinux policies don't allow for mediaserver to handle app generated abstract unix domain sockets.

Instead, I'd recommend you create a pipe-pair ( http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/ParcelFileDescriptor.html#createPipe() ) which is allowed by the Android 5.0 policy. " I don't know why they did this or how we were supposed to know.

I'm using a very old/modified (can't tell) version of libstreaming where mediastream is still extended from mediarecorder, but looking at the current version, in MediaStream you'll probably want to change createSockets to something including the following:

        ParcelFileDescriptor[] parcelFileDescriptors =ParcelFileDescriptor.createPipe();
        parcelRead = new ParcelFileDescriptor(parcelFileDescriptors[0]);
        parcelWrite  = new ParcelFileDescriptor(parcelFileDescriptors[1]);

then in your video/audio stream

setOutputFile(parcelWrite.getFileDescriptor());

and in that same file change

    // The packetizer encapsulates the bit stream in an RTP stream and send it over the network
    mPacketizer.setInputStream(mReceiver.getInputStream());
    mPacketizer.start();

to

            InputStream is = null;
            try{ is = new ParcelFileDescriptor.AutoCloseInputStream(parcelRead);
            }
            catch (Exception e){}
            mPacketizer.setInputStream(is);

As andreasperelli pointed out in the comment, make sure to close the ParcelFileDescriptors in closeSockets(), or depending on your implementation and version, before closeSockets() and before you call MediaRecorder.stop().

at Android 6.0 I resolve this problem with the code

new Thread(new Runnable() {
  @Override public void run() {
    FileInputStream inputStream = null;
    try {
      inputStream = new FileInputStream(path);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    while (true) {
      byte[] buffer = new byte[0];
      try {
        buffer = new byte[inputStream.available()];
      } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
      try {
        inputStream.read(buffer);
      } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
      try {
        mSender.getOutputStream().write(buffer);
        mSender.getOutputStream().flush();
      } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
  }
}).start();

I use a file as buffer and write bytes at another thread.the MediaRecorder output to the file.
