Is it possible to use hwaccel h264_mediacodec encoder in Android?

Here is the error I get in Termux:

Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 (native) -> h264 (h264_mediacodec))
  Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (aac (native) -> aac (native))

The default h264 codec shipped with ffmpeg in termux seems to be broken (also mentioned here: Hardware accelerated ffmpeg using MediaCodec on Android? )

Meanwhile, you can use the software libx264 encoder with -c:v libx264 as mentioned in this comment on the packages repo: https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/18023#issuecomment-1741926145
