Specification

https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-record/#errorevent-section

Summary

MediaRecorderErrorEvent is fired when Media Recording API faces an error. This API will enable developers to debug more conveniently when an exception occurs in Media Recording API. MediaRecorderErrorEvent will provide further details about the error with a DOMException object. BUG: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1250432 SPEC: https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-record/#errorevent-section

Blink component

Blink>MediaRecording

Motivation

The main motivation is that currently Chromium fires a plain event, whereas if this feature is implemented the developers will have more knowledge about the occurred error in Media Recording API and debug conveniently.

This seems like a problematic specification. They should just use ErrorEvent, instead of creating a new class that is basically identical. I have filed https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-record/issues/211 and hope we can go that route instead.

Good catch, thanks Domenic!

Dom put up https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-record/pull/212 to change the spec here.

Imranur, once the spec change is made, I would suggest sending an Intent to Ship. An Intent to Prototype is for when you want to implement something behind a flag, but not ship it yet.

Best regards,

Philip
