Camera stream freezes once the clmtrackr detects a face (MacOs Mojave, Safari)
The tracker causes the camera stream to freeze on the latest Mac OS version, with the latest Safari. First I saw it on my project which uses clmtrackr and then I tested it with this demo: https://www.auduno.com/clmtrackr/examples/clm_video.html
Mac OS version: Mojave 10.14.1 Safari version: 12.0.1 No errors in the console, the tracker works but very slow.
I tested my project and the demo on previous Mac OS versions and no problems there... Works good as well on: Chrome for Mac Mojave and Safari on IOS 12.
I saw already an open ticket 1 month ago that may be related to the same issue but as the ticket was lack of information I decided to create a separated one (https://github.com/auduno/clmtrackr/issues/159)
So probably this is a bug in the latest Safari version but the question is if there is something that we can do from our side?
It looks like the issue might be related to clmtrackr triggering too many updates per second. I've added a parameter in the dev-branch to limit the amount of iterations per animation frame, that seems to help.
Could you verify if the latest build in the dev-branch resolves the issue?
@auduno Thanks for the quick response! Your last change made it a bit faster but it still very laggy. I played with the maxIterationsPerAnimFrame parameter and I tried to change the value and the results are: maxIterationsPerAnimFrame=2 , less laggy but still noticeable maxIterationsPerAnimFrame=1, work fluently
Hmm, it's a bit of a bummer to have to limit updates to 60 fps (which setting maxIterationsPerAnimFrame to 1 effectively does). I've been trying to figure out what changes in Mojave and/or Safari could cause the issue, but I haven't found anything obvious. Does anyone know exactly which Safari version introduced the issue?
I saw it once I upgraded my Mac, 12.0.1 is the only version I got once my OS was upgraded..
Hi, @DavidEdi-6over6 please could help me find at which line are you changing the maxIterationsPerAnimFrame to 1
Can you please share it with me? Many Thanks,
Hi, @DavidEdi-6over6 please could help me find at which line are you changing the maxIterationsPerAnimFrame to 1
Can you please share it with me? Many Thanks,
clm.js line 48 params.maxIterationsPerAnimFrame = 1
But see auduno's response, this is not recommend
Thank you @DavidEdi-6over6 I still can't get the current position. It's always false.
Do you have any hint on how to fix this issue?
