Cross-Browser recording of audio/video media streams; targets WebRTC/getUserMedia/WebAudio/etc. Works both on Chrome/Firefox/Opera on desktop & android.

Package Exports

  • msr

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (msr) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

MediaStreamRecorder.js - Demos - npm downloads

A cross-browser implementation to record audio/video streams:

  1. MediaStreamRecorder can record both audio and video in single WebM file on Firefox.
  2. MediaStreamRecorder can record audio as WAV and video as either WebM or animated gif on Chrome.

MediaStreamRecorder is useful in scenarios where you're planning to submit/upload recorded blobs in realtime to the server! You can get blobs after specific time-intervals.

You can install scripts using NPM:

npm install msr

Then link single/standalone "MediaStreamRecorder.js" file:

Record audio+video in Firefox in single WebM

<script src="https://cdn.webrtc-experiment.com/MediaStreamRecorder.js"> </script>
<script>
var mediaConstraints = {
    audio: !!navigator.mozGetUserMedia, // don't forget audio!
    video: true                         // don't forget video!
};

navigator.getUserMedia(mediaConstraints, onMediaSuccess, onMediaError);

function onMediaSuccess(stream) {
    var mediaRecorder = new MediaStreamRecorder(stream);
    mediaRecorder.mimeType = 'video/webm';
    mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = function (blob) {
        // POST/PUT "Blob" using FormData/XHR2
        var blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        document.write('<a href="' + blobURL + '">' + blobURL + '</a>');
    };
    mediaRecorder.start(3000);
}

function onMediaError(e) {
    console.error('media error', e);
}
</script>

Record audio+video in Chrome

MultiStreamRecorder.js records both audio/video and returns both blobs in single ondataavailable event.

<script src="https://cdn.webrtc-experiment.com/MediaStreamRecorder.js"> </script>
<script>
var mediaConstraints = {
    audio: true,
    video: true
};

navigator.getUserMedia(mediaConstraints, onMediaSuccess, onMediaError);

function onMediaSuccess(stream) {
    var multiStreamRecorder = new MultiStreamRecorder(stream);
    multiStreamRecorder.ondataavailable = function (blobs) {
        // blobs.audio
        // blobs.video
    };
    multiStreamRecorder.start(3 * 1000);
}

function onMediaError(e) {
    console.error('media error', e);
}
</script>

Record only audio in Chrome/Firefox

<script src="https://cdn.webrtc-experiment.com/MediaStreamRecorder.js"> </script>
var mediaConstraints = {
    audio: true
};

navigator.getUserMedia(mediaConstraints, onMediaSuccess, onMediaError);

function onMediaSuccess(stream) {
    var mediaRecorder = new MediaStreamRecorder(stream);
    mediaRecorder.mimeType = 'audio/ogg';
    mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = function (blob) {
        // POST/PUT "Blob" using FormData/XHR2
        var blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        document.write('<a href="' + blobURL + '">' + blobURL + '</a>');
    };
    mediaRecorder.start(3000);
}

function onMediaError(e) {
    console.error('media error', e);
}

Record only-video in chrome

<script src="https://cdn.webrtc-experiment.com/MediaStreamRecorder.js"> </script>
<script>
var mediaConstraints = {
    video: true
};

navigator.getUserMedia(mediaConstraints, onMediaSuccess, onMediaError);

function onMediaSuccess(stream) {
    var mediaRecorder = new MediaStreamRecorder(stream);
    mediaRecorder.mimeType = 'video/webm';
    
    // for gif recording
    // mediaRecorder.mimeType = 'image/gif';
    
    mediaRecorder.videoWidth = 320;
    mediaRecorder.videoHeight = 240;
    
    mediaRecorder.ondataavailable = function (blob) {
        // POST/PUT "Blob" using FormData/XHR2
        var blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
        document.write('<a href="' + blobURL + '">' + blobURL + '</a>');
    };
    mediaRecorder.start(3000);
}

function onMediaError(e) {
    console.error('media error', e);
}
</script>

How to manually stop recordings?

mediaRecorder.stop();

How to upload recorded files using PHP?

PHP code:

<?php
foreach(array('video', 'audio') as $type) {
    if (isset($_FILES["${type}-blob"])) {
        
        $fileName = $_POST["${type}-filename"];
        $uploadDirectory = "uploads/$fileName";
        
        if (!move_uploaded_file($_FILES["${type}-blob"]["tmp_name"], $uploadDirectory)) {
            echo("problem moving uploaded file");
        }
        
        echo($uploadDirectory);
    }
}
?>

JavaScript Code:

var fileType = 'video'; // or "audio"
var fileName = 'ABCDEF.webm';  // or "wav" or "ogg"

var formData = new FormData();
formData.append(fileType + '-filename', fileName);
formData.append(fileType + '-blob', blob);

xhr('save.php', formData, function (fileURL) {
    window.open(fileURL);
});

function xhr(url, data, callback) {
    var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    request.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (request.readyState == 4 && request.status == 200) {
            callback(location.href + request.responseText);
        }
    };
    request.open('POST', url);
    request.send(data);
}
