Get blobs after specific time-intervals

yeah that will be very useful for our realtime chat too.

Is this something that still needs to be done? We would also like to have this functionality and I'm happy to do the work if someone can help point me in the right direction

PRs are welcome!

Hi @thijstriemstra ,

Very nice library worked very well.
I will be very thank full to anyone who let me know how to achieve functionality of getting blob after some time intervals.

Thanks,
Faraz

It looks like the latest recordrtc improves support for this. I added a PR (muaz-khan/RecordRTC#283) and will implement a timeSlice option in this plugin.

@faraz-purelogics and @erikdonohoo it's now implemented in master, see https://github.com/collab-project/videojs-record#timestamps. Can you give that a try?

Hey Am having issues with the timestamp event. I am trying to upload a "slice" of the recorded video. Below is what I noticed.

1. The first slice of the player.recordedData contains a blob of size 1

2. The subsequent slices contain blob array of size + 1

I only want to send a particular slice at a time and not the total recorded file. How do I achieve this?

I just saw this block of code under the timestamp event section of your documentation

// monitor stream data during recording
player.on('timestamp', function() {
    // timestamps
    console.log('current timestamp: ', player.currentTimestamp);
    console.log('all timestamps: ', player.allTimestamps);

    // stream data
    console.log('array of blobs: ', player.recordedData);
    // or construct a single blob:
    // var blob = new Blob(blobs, {
    //     type: 'video/webm'
    // });
});

How do I construct a single blob?

How do I construct a single blob?

it says it right there

var blob = new Blob(blobs, {
     type: 'video/webm'
 });

How about the timeslice issue I raised?
I did the following
var binaryData = player.recordedData[player.recordedData.length - 1];
The first blob is playable but the subsequent blobs are not playable. How do I resolve this?

you should open a new ticket and not use an existing ticket, thanks.
