[Importer] Unknown input file type for "<home_directory>/.flick/emulator-5554/video-emulator-5554-single.mp4"

I am unable to record video on android emulator.

When I start recording using 'flick video -a start -p android -u emulator-5554' then it shows 'Starting Recoder!!!'. But when I stop recording using command 'flick video -a stop -p android -u emulator-5554' then it throws below error:

Hi @pgajeshwar-coupa. Can you try updating to the latest version and seeing if that fixes this for you? The version of the gem should be 0.4.3. Thanks.

[pgajeshwar-coupa]

Awesome!!! upgrading to 0.4.3 worked. Thanks a lot. :)

[pgajeshwar-coupa]

@isonic1 I am again seeing similar problem now.

[aldochristiaan]

i got this problem now too ..
even when i tried 0.4.3 version ..

Update :
I guess flick doesn't work on API 22 ..
When I tried with API 23 , it works
