Build ID: 20150806001005

Steps to reproduce:

Device: Nexus One (Android 2.3.7)

1. Go to http://mozilla.github.com/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html
2. Select video
3. Choose 'Share' option from the doorhanger



Actual results:

The camera does not start.

The following exception is thrown in logcat:
E/Camera  ( 3354): Invalid range list string=null
E/WEBRTC-JC( 3354): startCapture failed
E/WEBRTC-JC( 3354): java.lang.NullPointerException

E/WEBRTC-JC( 3354):     at org.webrtc.videoengine.VideoCaptureAndroid$CameraThread.run(VideoCaptureAndroid.java:162)


Expected results:

The camera starts and the video capture is visible on the screen.

Unfortunately, we don't have a Nexus with Gingerbread here, but I've tested on HTC Desire HD (2.3.5) and HTC Desire S (2.3.3), on Release and Nightly, and I'm not able to reproduce.

TN, are you still able to reproduce on latest Release (40)?

Firefox 40, still the same error with the same stack trace.

I have also tried Firefox on HTC Evo 4G (PC36100) with 2.3.5. It shows directly in HTML: 

TypeError: Object # has no method 'mozGetUserMedia'

Yes, the log is telling.

getSupportedPreviewFpsRange() is broken on this phone.

We can work around that by just hard-coding a suitable value.

By the way, you likely need to exact device to reproduce. The list of support framerates is in some device specific config and it's that config which is bused on this phone+Android version combination.

We actually have a fix for this in VideoCaptureDeviceInfo.java, but upstream updates added the separate call to getSupportedPreviewFpsRange inside startCapture which broke this again.
