java.lang.IllegalStateException: configure() is valid only at Initialized state; currently during configure()

[bhavinatharva]

Describe the bug

The application crashes with an IllegalStateException when attempting to stop a screen sharing stream. The error occurs because MediaCodec.configure() is called from an invalid state (during configure()) instead of the required Initialized state.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start screen sharing using ShareScreenService
2. Initiate stream stop procedure

if (genericStream.isStreaming) {
                    GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main) { // Or a custom scope
                        withContext(Dispatchers.IO) { // Perform blocking operation on IO dispatcher
                            genericStream.stopStream()
                        }
                    }
                }

3. Observe crash with the following stack trace

Expected behavior

The stream should stop cleanly without throwing an IllegalStateException.
