1501308 - MediaRecorder will pack for ogg even when requesting webm for audio-only cases

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1523563

(Core :: Audio/Video: Recording, defect, P2)

Description

[Dima Sokol]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create MediaRecorder with mediaType option set to 'audio/webm;codecs=opus', previously check if it is supported by calling MediaRecorder.isTypeSupported('audio/webm;codecs=opus')
2. Record stream
3. Create blob with selected mimeType
4. Save as file or send to server

Playground to reproduce:
https://jsbin.com/feburopixo/edit?js,console,output


Actual results:

Despite selected mimeType = audio/webm; codecs=opus
(MediaRecorder.mimeType confirms that selected mimeType will be used for encoding)
Actual container is ogg and it can be seen by first bytes of created file :

Expected results:

MediaRecorder should say it does not support audio/webm or record file in audio/webm

Hi,

I'm assigning a component to get an opinion on this issue. 

Another issue I've observed while trying to reproduce on Nightly:
"getUserMedia supported."
"The following error occured: NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context." 
Indeed while accessing the page (https://jsbin.com/feburopixo/edit?js,console,output) I wasn't asked to grant any permissions to it, nor could I add any permissions after accessing it, however on Release the page asked for microphone access permissions.

Andreas can you take a look at this?

Your second issue sounds like bug 1501745. The mime type issue sounds like something I can fix however.

I moved it to a fiddle so I could open the resulting page without an iframe, and so that gUM works: http://fiddle.jshell.net/pehrsons/d7acqtep/show/light/

According to both MediaRecorder and the blob the mimeType is audio/webm, but according to ffprobe it's indeed ogg.

This is getting fixed by bug 1523563.
