745503 - Use video from a file if camera can't be opened (for debugging)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: WebRTC: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

Debugging is immensely easier if you can get the browser to take video from a file if the camera won't open (due to two browsers on the same machine, or a machine/vm without a camera, etc).

Longer-term we'd just set it up in the app by using video_elem.captureStreamUntilEnded() instead of getUserMedia().

This is no longer needed; we have other ways to inject video from a file or via fake drivers (in test)
