Output blob size is 0 on IPhone - Chrome when recording a Video
Description
I would like to record video on Chrome using iPhone 13, the output blob for video has no data. Output video blob is 0 MB.
Steps to reproduce
Pls, open this below link in the iPhone chrome browser.
https://codesandbox.io/s/zhde4?file=/src/App.js:978-987
- Click on the Video Icon to record, if it asks permission give that.
- Start recording
- Stop recording. You will see the "Media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported"
- You can see the results with 0 bytes on the console.

Not that I have much to add to this, I just wanted to say that I've also been struggling with this recently. Like @aruljayaraj aruljayaraj says, it only seems to be Chrome iOS affected, Safari works beautifully and I'm always seeing a 0 bytes file generated. The "finishRecord" event triggers and I'm not seeing any errors. Currently using v4.5.0 of videojs record (and latest on the main videojs). When you start to record, you can see the camera start up and it records fine. When you stop it recording, nothing displays in teh recorder because of the completed file can't be generated. Does anyone have any clues on why it might be happening? Where in the code it's failing? is it somethign to do with the way the code is trying to generate the file or perhaps to do with RecordRTC?
@thijstriemstra No update yet.
Ok I'm confused though, why do you mention me here?
Any update on this? I have the exact same problem, I have tested with several codecs and plugins, but result is always 0 bytes in video blob
it's bizarre to me people keep adding this "any update on this" when there's clearly no update. please stop, ty.
