Question

I have been trying to figure out why this is not working for some time. I have used a lot of example code, however I still cannot figure it out.

Code

 takeVideo() {
    console.log('started to take video');
    this.camera.capture({
      audio: true,
      mode: Camera.constants.CaptureMode.video,
      target: Camera.constants.CaptureTarget.disk
    }).then((data) => {
      this.setState({ path: data.path });
      console.log(data);
    }).catch((err) => console.log(err));
  }

  stopVideo() {
    this.camera.stopCapture();
    console.log(this.state.path);
  }

  renderCamera() {
    return (
      <View>
        <Camera
          ref={(cam) => {
            this.camera = cam;
          }}
          style={styles.preview}
          aspect={Camera.constants.Aspect.fill}
          captureTarget={Camera.constants.CaptureTarget.disk}
          captureMode={Camera.constants.CaptureMode.video}
        >
          <TouchableHighlight
            style={styles.capture}
            onPressIn={this.takeVideo.bind(this)}
            onPressOut={this.stopVideo.bind(this)}
            underlayColor="rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)"
          >
            <View />
          </TouchableHighlight>
        </Camera>
      </View>
    );
  }

Whats not working

When I console.log(this.state.path) it outputs false which means that it does not change and the video did not record.

Info

• This is on IOS
• This works if I change Camera.constants.CaptureMode.video to Camera.constants.CaptureMode.still (.video => .still)
• RN version: react-native-cli: 2.0.1 react-native: 0.44.0

Repo

I found this repo that is trying to do almost the exact same thing as me and is having the same issue. Here is the repo: https://github.com/MiLeung/record
