Bug in Firefox about whammy HOT 17 CLOSED

Last I checked, Firefox doesn't support WebP images, so I don't think whammy can work.

from whammy.

Well F*. I didn't see that comming.
Isn't there a way to use some of the plugins ( like Libwebp Javascript ) to add support for Firefox?

Thank you :/

from whammy.

it should be possible to use libwebp in order to get it to work, though at that point you might as well use emscripten and ffmpeg like http://devcomo.2013.nodeknockout.com/.

This is interesting but the library is too big for my needs. Can you push a
patch to whammy for it to work with Firefox, or give me instructions on how
to do it myself?

Thanks!

from whammy.

The ffmpeg js library won't work for me.
Here is what i want to do. Record a video in webm via webcam and then convert it to gif.
Everything is ok until i find out that Firefox won't be supported which is stupid because many people use Firefox.
Can you implement the WebP library in Whammy for it can work with Firefox?

from whammy.

What do you mean by recording a video in webm via webcam?

from whammy.

WebRTC + Whammy. I want to be able to record clips using the camera, all in
the browser.

@semprom Have you checked out https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/RecordRTC? He uses JSGif (https://github.com/antimatter15/jsgif) to achieve what you are trying to do. Seems to work on FF.

from whammy.

I have. First I was going to use this but then i decided not to. When
recording there is huge lag. The gif is laggy and not smooth like I want.

from whammy.

The reason whammy is fast on chrome is because it's almost entirely native-
all the encoding is done by hijacking the WebP capabilities of toDataURL.
Using webp.js in place of a native encoder will make something probably
substantially slower than jsgif.

Hm. Firstly happy new year! :D
Can you suggest a way in which I would be possible to do this without major lag like record rtc and be supported by Chrome and Firefox?

Thanks!

from whammy.

Hi.
Look what I have found. www.videomail.io This website crates .webm when
using Google Chrome and .mp4 when using Firefox.
Do you have any idea what they are using for the mp4 recording?

Thank you!

I may be wrong, @semprom taking a quick look at the source code, I am suspecting that they are sending over the individual frames to the server using node.js and putting it together in the server side.

from whammy.

Interesting. This will do me just fine for what I am trying to do. Can you
give some sort of a clue on how to do it?

Thank you!

from whammy.

You can use toDataURL('image/jpeg') on each frame, and concatenate all the strings and send them over to the server which could unpack them into some temporary directory and use ffmpeg to merge them into a video (see https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Create%20a%20video%20slideshow%20from%20images)
