Hi all, On FirefoxOS(gonk), hw codecs and camera hw are loaded in application's process. These hardwares request high privilege(like system) to the processes.
This produce following restrictions and problems. - normal web contents could not use the hardwares capability directly. - an application needs to have "deprecated-hwvideo" or "camera" permission in manifest.webapp to use them. - could not apply the privilege to an application durinng its running. It needs theprocess restart. - camara hw might be loaded from multiple processes. In android, camera hw is loaded from only one process(mediaserver). - application processes with deprecated-hwvideo/camera permission have too high privilege IMHO, it is necessary to remove the restrictions. Then, I created bug 803471, bug 798202 and bug 798773 for the problems. camera hw handling still has a problem, though they basically work on my phone. Is it a correct way to go? Can I have comments about them? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803471 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798202 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798773 Thanks in advance sotaro _______________________________________________ dev-media mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-media
