[jira] [Commented] (CB-6696) Set flash mode for capture video plugin
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6696?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanelfocusedCommentId=14011995#comment-14011995 ] Max Franz commented on CB-6696: --- Could this option be set for the plugin via the XML config file then? The main issue is that flash is on by default via the plugin on iOS. Even if the plugin doesn't provide an option for this, then I think the plugin should set the flash to off by default. It's better to have it off and have the user turn it on if desired, rather than having the flash come on without the user wanting or asking for that behaviour. Set flash mode for capture video plugin --- Key: CB-6696 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6696 Project: Apache Cordova Issue Type: Improvement Components: Plugin Media Capture Reporter: Max Franz The capture video plugin is great, but there are usecases where the default option for the camera flash mode does not suffice. A lot of the time, the user would prefer the flash be off unless manually set otherwise. An option to set the flash mode would be great (right now, I have to patch the plugin for all platforms manually). The following enums would be required: * flash on * flash off * flash auto e.g. for iphone see https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIImagePickerController_Class/UIImagePickerController/UIImagePickerController.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UIImagePickerController/cameraFlashMode As an alternative: If having an option to expose this is not preferable, it's also possible * to change the default from flash auto to flash off, or * to start by default with flash off and save the value the user set last in the app. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
[jira] [Commented] (CB-6697) Autostart video capture option
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6697?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanelfocusedCommentId=14012000#comment-14012000 ] Max Franz commented on CB-6697: --- This enhancement is a minor nice-to-have-feature, so in this case it's probably more important to follow the spec and possibly revisit this later. Thanks for the clarification! Autostart video capture option -- Key: CB-6697 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6697 Project: Apache Cordova Issue Type: Improvement Components: Plugin Media Capture Reporter: Max Franz Priority: Minor It would be great to have an option to automatically start recording the video for the media capture plugin once invoked. Opening the capture video UI will usually happen as a result of user interaction (e.g. a tap), so it's deliberate on the user's part. Thus, we can eliminate the second tap (red rec button) in many usecases by starting the recording as soon as `capture.captureVideo()` is invoked. This can greatly increase user experience by reducing repetition. This should definitely be optional, because there are usecases where the user would not want to start recording right away. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
