Can't record video in Safari

Safari 11 added getUserMedia Support in Sept 2017, more details here: https://webkit.org/blog/7763/a-closer-look-into-webrtc/

When looking at the demo page:

https://collab-project.github.io/videojs-record/examples/audio-video.html

I initialise the camera, click record and camera starts recording. I click stop and it stops recording but no playback button appears.

Plays back fine in Chrome on the same device.

Get following console error:

GetRecorderType is not a constructor (evaluating 'new Recorder (mediaStream, config) 

from RecordRTC.j:87

videojs-record relies on RecordRTC which relies mainly on the MediaRecorder object from the MediaStream Recorder API to record video.

Safari 11 and 12 do not support the MediaStream Recorder API.

There is a bug report filled thus if you want native video recording in Safari you can help by commenting on it and explaining your use case.

Recently the bug’s status changed to “under consideration” so there is a slight chance we will see the feature in Safari 13 next year.

Basically Safari does not have MediaRecorder support yet

This bug report on bugs.webkit.org tracks the MediaRecorder implementation in WebKit and thus Safari.

I encourage everyone to show their interest and add a comment describing how a MediaRecorder implementation would help their project/development. Creating an account takes a second.

Also, WebKit is an open source project so one can also contribute code towards implementing the MediaRecorder API.
