[camera_android_camerax] Video encoding bitrate #187149

Open

Description

@ivan-vanyusho

Steps to reproduce

1.Create a camera controller with a custom video bitrate
2.Start video recording
3.Inspect the recorded video file to check its actual bitrate

Expected results

The recorded video should have a bitrate of the specified value

Actual results

The videoBitrate parameter passed to CameraController is ignored on Android. The camera_android_camerax implementation does not forward the bitrate value to the Recorder.
