getUserMedia works wrong

[jauhenk]

Hey guys,
When I path to the getUserMedia { audio: true, video: false } I still can select video in the popup window. After it I'll be able to get video stream from the stream object in the getUserMedia success callback.
Thanks!

It was a design choice to let the user override the request made by the website.
Re-reading the specs, I do understand that if the request says no video, the stream MUST not contain a video track.

@agouaillard : what do you think?

I think the spec is clear.
if the constraint is videoL false, the resulting media stream MUST not have
a video track.
In such case it makes no sense to have a prompt for video at all (you take
the risk to start a video capturer for nothing).

I agree with @agouaillard. We should not allow the user to overwrite what is being requested by the JS app.

Please note that this should also be applicable for the case where the constraint has audio: false. In this case the user should not be allowed to select a recording device.

Alright, ticket open in JIRA.

Hey,
Is it possible to remove video stream manually somehow? When I disable video track sound become disabled also.

1 - FYI, I implemented the forced respect of the constraints last week. it will be a part of the next release.
2 - Do you mean removing the video track from the stream while keeping the audio track ? MediaStream.removeTrack will also be in the next release.
Did you try getting the video track and setting it to enabled = false ?

[jauhenk]

Sounds good!
2 - Yes, but when we will have correct getUserMedia flow - all will be fine

• Did you try getting the video track and setting it to enabled = false ?
• Yes, and sound also became disabled after it.

[jauhenk]

Also could you please let me know when next release will be?

A release including those fixes was done on Aug 13, closing this issue.
