881232 - [refapps][rtcamera] Implement fallback for non getUserMedia capable systems

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Ecosystem :: App Center, defect)

Description

[Soledad Penades [:sole] [:spenades]]

First and foremost we should be able to tell the user that their environment doesn't support getUserMedia, instead of just presenting a black screen. So we need to enhance no gUM detection using some sort of timeout 'hack', as some systems don't even answer to our gUM query.

Then if the system doesn't support gUM we still need to be "useful": allow to pick existing images/videos from the system, and modify them as if they were the live stream from the camera.

(The option for picking should go into the app menu).

Implemented workflow that still makes the app usable in systems without WebRTC here: https://github.com/sole/rtcamera/pull/11
