Media Recorder Start Failed -19 on Nexus 9 Android Lollipop 5.1.1

Question

I am trying to capture video in my app.
This was working fine on all android versions and different devices until I tried it on Nexus 9 with Android Version 5.1.1.

This is my code:

                prCamera.lock();
                prCamera.unlock();
                prMediaRecorder.setCamera(prCamera);
                prMediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.CAMCORDER);
                prMediaRecorder.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
                prMediaRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
                prMediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(AudioEncoder.AAC);
                prMediaRecorder.setVideoEncoder(VideoEncoder.H264);
                prRecordedFile = new File(mFilePath);
                prMediaRecorder.setOutputFile(prRecordedFile.getPath());
                prMediaRecorder.setVideoEncodingBitRate(3000000);
                prMediaRecorder.setVideoSize(720, 480);
                prMediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(cFrameRate);
                prMediaRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(prSurfaceHolder.getSurface());
                prMediaRecorder.prepare();
                if (prRecordedFile.exists()) {
                    prRecordedFile.mkdirs();
                    if (MarkerName != null) {
                        try {
                            prMediaRecorder.start(); // EXITS HERE
                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();  // STACK TRACE SHOWN BELOW
                        }
                    }
                } 

This is Log (Stack Trace):
