Question

The test code:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<video id="v1" autoplay="autoplay"></video>
<script>
navigator._getUserMedia = navigator.getUserMedia || navigator.webkitGetUserMedia || navigator.mozGetUserMedia;
navigator._getUserMedia({video: true}, function(stream) {
    document.getElementById('v1').src = URL.createObjectURL(stream);
}, function() {});
</script>
</body>
</html>

This is what firefox 28.0 captures. The webcamera is Logitech C210. It works fine in skype and chrome. The computer is running windows 8. Also, it works on other computer with windows 7. Filed a bug report. Any thoughts?

Solution 2

The bug is fixed in firefox-29.
