Stream is appearing even if video src is not set

[Rishi Khandelwal]

HI

I have got an strange error. 

On my mac Firefox, easyrtc.getLocalStream().getVideoTracks().length is 0, video src is empty, but still i am getting my streaming. How is it possible ?

i am really surprised. Please suggest me the reason.

One more thing, 

We assume that if everything is correctly set up then easyrtc give allow/deny permission bar and when user allows that then we get the steaming for sure. But i am getting strange behavior that even after allowing the permission bar, i am getting 0 video track in my stream. 

I am placing streaming in video element if it passes the if condition :

if(easyrtc.getLocalStream().getVideoTracks().length > 0) {

   // set stream 

 } else {

// error message

}

every time i run, i got error message. Then i remove above condition and run again then i got above scenario that getting stream in video element but video src is empty.

suggest me the reason

Looks like Chrome isn't able to access your camera. Probably some other application is getting exclusive use of it. Got skype running? 

[Rishi Khandelwal]

Thanks for the reply eric.

No , no any other app was using the camera. We did not tried skype, but we tried this webrtc demo https://opentokrtc.com/ and it was running fine.

the silly possibility then is that you called easyrtc.enableVideo(false) before getting the local media stream.

If you have the site public, I can take a brief look. Otherwise, no other ideas.

[Rishi Khandelwal]

No Eric, 

easyrtc.enableVideo(true) is called before getting local media stream. Even this is not the problem with every browser and every OS.

I am getting this problem on my mac Firefox every time, and some times in windows Chrome. Every user is not getting this problem.

This could be the environmental issue but i just want to know that what factors can create this type of problem.

[Eric Davies]

Haven't seen the problem myself. No idea what it could be.
