Problem:
In my React application, I have setup screen recording within the application using navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia
when I set the stem to video tag and play it was playing successfully. But when I try to save it to a local machine it saving only 0 minutes of video.
This is my code.
const VideoCall = ({ match }) => {
const { params: { campaignPatienId, userId, id, meetingId, videoId } } = match;
const [mediaR,setMediaR] = useState(null);
const [recordingStarted,setRecordingStarted] = useState(false)
const handleRecording = async () =>{
const videoElem = document.querySelector("video");
var displayMediaOptions = {
video: {
cursor: "always"
},
audio: {
echoCancellation: true,
noiseSuppression: true,
sampleRate: 44100
}
};
try {
navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia(displayMediaOptions).then((strem)=>{
console.log(strem,"stream")
videoElem.srcObject = strem;
setRecordingStarted(true)
let mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder(strem);
let chunks = [];
videoElem.onloadedmetadata= (e) =>{
videoElem.play();
}
mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = function (ev) {
console.log({ev})
chunks.push(ev.data)
}
mediaRecorder.onstop = (ev) => {
// window.clearTimeout(timoutStop);
let blob = new Blob(chunks, { type: "video/mp4" });
console.log(blob,"blob")
chunks = [];
strem.getTracks().forEach(function (track) {
track.stop();
});
var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
var a = document.createElement('a');
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.style = 'display: none';
a.href = url;
a.download = 'test.mp4';
a.click();
window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
}
mediaRecorder.start();
setMediaR(mediaRecorder)
});
} catch(err) {
console.error("Error: " + err);
}
}
const stopRecording = async () =>{
let currentRecorder = mediaR;
if (currentRecorder.state != "inactive") {
await currentRecorder.stop();
}
}
return (
<div className="row" style={{ height: '100%', width: '100%' }}>
<div className="col-md-12" >
<div className="row">
<div className="colHeader">
<h3>Chat with Client</h3>
<div class="create-user-button" >

</div>
<div>
{recordingStarted ? <button
type="button"
onClick={() => stopRecording()}
className="btn btn-default scoreOverview"

type="button"
onClick={() => handleRecording()}

</button>}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<video id="video" autoplay width="100%"></video>
</div>
</div>
)
}
export default withRouter(VideoCall)
Can someone help me to solve this problem? .I tried a lot but it always downloads 0 minutes video.
WebRTC (getDisplayMedia) typically records as webm.
I have a sample app running at record.a.video
and in the code (which looks similar to yours, but for the mimetype): https://github.com/dougsillars/recordavideo/blob/main/public/index.js#L652
function download() {
var blob = new Blob(recordedBlobs, {type: 'video/webm'});
var url = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.style.display = 'none';
a.href = url;
a.download = 'test.webm';
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
setTimeout(function() {
document.body.removeChild(a);
window.URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
}, 100);
}
