I’m building an extension that one part of it’s functionality is recording the screen.
after enabling record in the popup interface the background.js creates a mediaStream object successfully.
I’m doing in the background script because the background eventually will have to handle the save of this video (send it to a server).
But I also want to have a player to show that video before saving (to confirm or discard it), but when passing a message from the background script to the pop script the media object arrives empty;
this is what the background sends:
isRecording: true
stream: MediaStream
active: true
id: "zS8d6Jc7FzJQ5gWXWy9fyHiWquGaOW626FhV"
onactive: null
onaddtrack: null
oninactive: null
onremovetrack: null
__proto__: MediaStream
__proto__: Object
and this is what arrives to the popup script:
isRecording: true
stream: {}
__proto__: Object
__proto__: Object
To my best understanding it happens because of JSON serialization…
How can I overcome it?
Thanks
