As a WebWorks developer, I would like to be able to take a video from camera inline my app using eg. navigator.webkitGetUserMedia. #190

With the blackberry.media.camera.takeVideo(onCaptured, [onCameraClosed], [onError]) it would be possible to open up the camera and take a video, get the return-path of the video and do something with it.

For BB10 I would request for a feature like the navigator.webkitGetUserMedia to access the camera directly to take eg. take a snapshot as a picture or to take a video of what can be seen from the camera. In that way you can think of a bunch new apps - eg. snapshots to upload somewhere (FB, Twitter, ...) or send via mail directly, 1D/2D Code Reader, face detection, ... - that could be written based on WebWorks.

So we are not doing the blackberry.media.camera.takeVideo any more. Instead we will be supporting capture attribute in the input field

I have branch going here - https://github.com/blackberry-webworks/BB10-WebWorks-Framework/tree/picker

Checkout my test case to understand it better - https://github.com/blackberry-webworks/BB10-WebWorks-Framework/commit/8fe50c6b111fccc8e3495c26fdc8a565c6a90dbe#diff-7

getUserMedia is being worked on but does not have any timelines yet.

That is even what I would suggest at this time if you use those input types for direct access to the camera. IMHO it would be great if you can access the rendering of these input elements to be a HTML5 media source to use/show it and also be able to "manipulate" eg. with canvas or whatever might be a solution for an developer.

BTW: Is it possible to directly get your example test case running with the "latest" 10.0.6.386 release?

Thanks for all the feedback. As Nukul mentioned, getUserMedia seems to be what you are looking for in terms of direct access to the camera feed, and will be coming. The style media capture approach will be more of an invocation of the native camera application to capture a still image or video that can be processed afterwards.
