Recording video doesn't work on Windows

[VedantSharma11]

Hello @llaske
I wanted to bring to your attention an issue I found while using the Record Activity. Specifically, the VideoRecord feature does not seem to be working properly. When I click on the record button it starts recording the video for 5 seconds but when I try to preview it the video player does not work properly and it is not able to play the video, the photo and audio-record feature works properly. I have tested this on several different devices and it breaks only on windows devices, so I believe the issue is with the code itself.

I wanted to report this issue to you so that you could share your thoughts on it.
if you find it as an issue I would like you to assign it to me, thank you.

@VedantSharma11 which browser are you using? Is there any message in the console?

[VedantSharma11]

@llaske i am not running it on the browser i am running it locally on my system and it runs as a system application, and the above issue exists there.

[llaske]

How did you install it? How do you run it?

[VedantSharma11]

I forked and cloned the sugarizer repository on my local machine and then i installed the packages using "npm install" and to run it locally i used "npm start"

[llaske]

Okay run it with debug option and tell me if there is error message on the devtools console when you try to record a video.

 npm start -- --sdebug --window

[VedantSharma11]

It gives some warnings on the devtools console. I am attaching the snippet for the same

[llaske]

Okay. Look like a security issue.
Could you install Sugarizer using the Windows installer instead (see here) to check if it fix the issue?

[VedantSharma11]

@llaske I installed sugarizer using the windows installer and i tried the record activity but the issue still persists
