Bug 234784 – MediaRecorder should support the bitsPerSecond option

• Component: WebRTC
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

audioBitesPerSecond, videoBitsPerSecond, bitsPerSecond are not respected by WebKit. This results in huge blobs produced by MediaRecorder, which can not be uploaded.

audioBitsPerSecond and videoBitsPerSecond should be respected by WebKit.
bitsPerSecond is not supported yet though.

Could do it like this:

    std::tie(m_audioBitsPerSecond, m_videoBitsPerSecond) = MediaRecorderPrivate::computeBitRates(m_options, privateStream);

> Source/WebCore/Modules/mediarecorder/MediaRecorder.h:122
> +    enum class UpdateWithStream { No, Yes };
> +    void updateBitRates(UpdateWithStream);

In a case like this, consider two separate named functions. They can call a internal function that takes a stream pointer. Could even have one take a stream pointer that defaults to null if you want since this is all private.

This gives us the flexibility to come up with two clean names rather than having to name both a function and an enumeration.

I think I personally might find the Boolean logic easier to read than the ? :

    bool hasAudio = !stream || stream->hasAudio();

Not sure which you think is clearer.

Extra space here before the "std::min".

The "/ 10" here seems like a magic number. I don’t understand why it’s there!

> +    return std::make_pair(options.audioBitsPerSecond.value_or(LargeAudioBitRate), options.videoBitsPerSecond.value_or(LargeVideoBitRate));

Consider the { } syntax instead of std::make_pair.

> Source/WebCore/platform/mediarecorder/MediaRecorderPrivate.h:76
> +    static std::pair<unsigned, unsigned> computeBitRates(const MediaRecorderPrivateOptions&, const MediaStreamPrivate* = nullptr);

Do you think it’s obvious what the two halves of the pair are?
