i searched to check if this question is no dup , i see some has no answer and others did not help.

In my case that error (MediaRecorder: start failed: -38) was appearing after switching to second camera when I forgot to release MediaRecorder during closing (first) camera:

mediaRecorder?.release()
mediaRecorder = null
