Bug 200089 – [iOS 13 Beta] camera-stream failed to show up on screen

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebRTC

[Kyle]

Repo:
1) On iPhone X, with iOs13 beta 13.0 (17A5534f), open Safari
2) Open https://mdn-samples.mozilla.org/s/webrtc-capturestill/
3) Allow camera access

Expect:
4) See camera picture on the screen

Instead:
4) Nothing shows up


*note, 
if we try the Video Chat Client (https://apprtc.appspot.com/) on the WebRTC samples page(https://webrtc.github.io/samples/)
one can see the video is being captured, and sent to the other computer.

Hi Kyle,

I believe mdn-samples.mozilla.org is not using playsinline.
It might also need autoplay and muted.

If you load the page in landscape mode and start capturing in landscape mode, you should see a few frames. Portrait mode had an issue that is now fixed.

Thanks for the quick reply.

If I understand you correctly...
1) It is expected that those videos are not playing inline. The fix will be to add playsinline, autoplay and muted.

2) The reason that I see a few frames in landscape mode is due to a bug, that only repo in landscape mode but not in portrait mode?

And to sum up, 
a) there's nothing wrong with iOS 13's Safari, 
b) there IS a bug in iOS 12's Safari that allows these examples to work, and now, in iOS 13, these bugs had been fixed?

Just an update, I copied their code on codepen and added the necessary tags, and now I see:
1) nothing on portrait mode 
2) video streaming normally on landscape mode

Yes this is fixed in WebKit ToT.

Yes

The few frames in landscape mode is probably due to playsinline.

The bug for portrait mode was fixed in ToT.

There is no bug in iOS12, iOS requires playsinline and will probably continue.
