I'm having some trouble with the OpenTok 2 API. When I start to publish a stream and I'm prompted to allow or deny the website to use my webcam and microphone, if I allow allowed() should run, but if I deny denied() should run.
publisher.addEventListener('accessAllowed', allowed);
publisher.addEventListener('accessDenied', denied);
function allowed() {
console.log('Allowed');
}
function denied() {
console.log('Denied');
}
It works as expected in Firefox. In Chrome accessAllowed works, however, accessDenied doesn't. Instead I get the following error:
OT.Publisher.onStreamAvailableError PermissionDeniedError:
TB.exception :: title: Internal Error (2000) msg: Publisher failed to access camera/mic:
Any ideas?
This is a bug in the current JS library at OpenTok. I do have a workaround that should get you going and I'll come back with an update when the bug is fixed.
var waiting = false;
publisher.addEventListener('accessAllowed', function() {
waiting = false;
allowed();
});
publisher.addEventListener('accessDenied', function() {
waiting = false;
denied();
});
publisher.addEventListener('accessDialogOpened', function() {
waiting = true;
});
publisher.addEventListener('accessDialogClosed', function() {
setTimeout(function() {
if (waiting) {
waiting = false;
denied();
}
}, 0);
});
This workaround is slightly limited because Chrome has some weirdness when it comes to denying access once and then visiting the page again. If the user hasn't changed his/her preferences regarding the media permissions, the video will continue to be denied and the 'accessDialogOpened' won't even fire. I'll inform the team and continue to look into this.
