Tanase Butcaru commented on CB-10369:
-------------------------------------
[~riknoll] I know that video capturing already exists in
cordova-plugin-media-capture, but it seems I misunderstood it! I have tested
the media-capture plugin some time ago, but only the audio recorder function
and from that day I thought that video capture would work the same: opens a
"Video recorder" application (something different from default camera app) and
that would allow the user to record a video. This was the main reason I created
this feature for the camera plugin, because it wouldn't felt natural (like all
the other apps on the market) if it was like that..
Concluding, I've made this feature by "mistake". The only advantage is the
thumbnail option (which can be easily implemented for getPicture() too, android
at least).
--------
Regarding camera plugin, as I noted in my PR with some commented code, it would
be great to separate picture & video operations in the future, in case this
feature will be merged.
I mean, the getPicture() should only select & create images and getVideo()
should only select & create videos! Right now, with getPicture() we can create
& select images + select videos.
Talking about all cordova core plugins that handle media operations, I would
merge them in one full featured plugin. The plugin-camera,
plugin-media-capture, plugin-media should become just cordova-plugin-media with
the following api:
- media.capture(): create new image & video from camera
- media.picker(): select media file(s) from device library (image, video &
audio) / audio implementation for android & ios could start from here
https://github.com/an-rahulpandey/cordova-plugin-mediapicker
- media.audio - current cordova-plugin-media api rewritten to support w3c
specifications with sub methods like media.audio.startRecord(), etc..
... and this would become a media centric plugin with everything developers
need.
