We managed to fix this without updating to Camera 2 API (with help of the community I understood). Thank you everybody involved :pray:.

Pretty sure was @rinigus’ fake package_native[1] - great job working on sony nagara and enabling C2 recording too :wink:

I implemented the fake package_native in droidmedia like the other fake Android services we have there already. But the idea came from that external package you mentioned (I had actually used another way to work around the issue when doing camera2 testing by disabling the need for package_native but the fake service was a better way, I hadn’t thought it back then that the same issue was in old camera api also).
