Support for Firefox mobile

[jabrena]

Hi, I am testing the solution in a Firefox mobile to upload a .webm file to the server, but current code only upload audio but if I test the same example in a Firefox for Desktop, the code runs nice.

What is the mobile support for videojs-record?

Recording is based on recordrtc (https://github.com/muaz-khan/RecordRTC). There's no specific note about mobile browsers there. It's also something I haven't tested yet. What kind of output do you see in the console from recordrtc? And what does this demo do: https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/RecordRTC/AudioVideo-on-Firefox.html

Hi, this evening I have debugged using the output from upload folder only, and I noticed that I only receive audio, but tomorrow I will try to learn how use the remote debugging with FF Mobile.
Today, I have tested:

FF for Android Tablet
FF Beta for Android Tablet
FF with Desktop emulation

Tomorrow, I will notify any progress.

I tested but for me, I couldn't run that example on FF for OSX:

I added some commits (part of 1.1.0 release) that hide the native controls overlaying the interface (also needs a line of css, see one of the examples).

Animated GIF, all the audio examples and the image example worked fine on this Samsung galaxy tab using "Mozilla/5.0 (Android 4.2.2; Tablet; rv:43.0) Gecko/43.0 Firefox/43.0".

But the video-only and audio-video examples failed.

The video-only example threw this error related to MediaRecorder it seems (also see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215115 which is fixed in Firefox 48):

The UA cannot provide the codec or recording option that has been requested. error
{ target: MediaRecorder, isTrusted: true, name: "GenericError", currentTarget: MediaRecorder, eventPhase: 2, bubbles: false, cancelable: false, defaultPrevented: false, timeStamp: 1453076787372254, originalTarget: MediaRecorder, explicitOriginalTarget: MediaRecorder }

And the audio-video example produced some webm according to the console log, but neither video or audio was present during playback.

Let's open specific issues for video-only, audio-video example failures, closing this.
