Screen sharing with firefox on mac os

[castfab]

Hello,

The screen sharing feature doesn't seem to work on firefox / mac os.

Tested with Firefox Nightly 35 on Mac OS Mavericks (screen sharing and allowed domains were set in about:config). Works well with nightly on Windows.

For me, screen capturing isn't working in "latest" Windows-based nightly builds as well.

BTW, hoping that you're using HTTPs based domain?

[castfab]

Yep, tested using HTTPs on localhost and online with your webrtc-experiment.com screen sharing demo.

Firefox Nighty 35.0a1 on Windows is ok, I can share a window without problem.

Firefox Nightly 35.0a1 on Mac Os displays the following error:

"name" "PermissionDeniedError" RTCMultiConnection.js:5493

"constraintName" "{ "audio": false, "video": { "maxWidth": 1920, "maxHeight": 1080, "mozMediaSource": "window", "mediaSource": "window" } }" RTCMultiConnection.js:5494

"message" "Make sure that you are using Firefox Nightly and you enabled: media.getusermedia.screensharing.enabled flag from about:config page. You also need to add your domain in "media.getusermedia.screensharing.allowed_domains" flag. If you are using WinXP then also enable "media.getusermedia.screensharing.allow_on_old_platforms" flag. NEVER forget to use "only" HTTPs for screen capturing!" RTCMultiConnection.js:5495

media.getusermedia.screensharing.enabled is enabled and media.getusermedia.screensharing.allowed_domains is set in firefox about:config

@u11140 did you modify and install Firefox extension?

• https://github.com/muaz-khan/Firefox-Extensions/tree/master/enable-screen-capturing

[u11140]

No. Actually I am using code of "Screen Sharing" from https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/ I want to run this on my localhost. For that I have created a SSL Certificate on Apache for Ubuntu 14.04. After this what should I do ? When I run this program on localhost it gives me following error on console " name PermissionDeniedError " "constraintName

{ "audio": false, "video": { "maxWidth": 1920, "maxHeight": 1080, "mozMediaSource": "window", "mediaSource": "window" } } "

"message Make sure that you are using Firefox Nightly and you enabled: media.getusermedia.screensharing.enabled flag from about:config page. You also need to add your domain in "media.getusermedia.screensharing.allowed_domains" flag. If you are using WinXP then also enable "media.getusermedia.screensharing.allow_on_old_platforms" flag. NEVER forget to use "only" HTTPs for screen capturing!" something like this.. So can you give me any suggestion for this?

Modify this line and add localhost there:

• https://github.com/muaz-khan/Firefox-Extensions/blob/master/enable-screen-capturing/bootstrap.js#L18

Now, remake the XPI file. Drag/Drop XPI fie over Firefox address-bar, and install the extension.

Now, your screen capturing code will work in https://localhost:port/.

Still getting same error.. I changed domain to my domain name and also added "enable-screen-capturing.xpi"

[u11140]

Hello Sir, I have done that. It is working fine now. But how should I run this xpi file from my website. I have tried Install Triggers function but it is not working . when click on button It gives me following error "the addon from localhost could not be installed because it does not match the add-on firefox expected "

[muaz-khan]

• bootstrap.js#L18

['localhost'].forEach(function(domain) {
    if (values.indexOf(domain) === -1) {
        values.push(domain);
        addon_domains.push(domain);
    }
});

Now make ZIP file, rename "zip" to "xpi" and drag/drop "xpi" file over Firefox tab/address-bar.

[u11140]

On that way, it works fine but I want to give link from my website and when I click on that link it should install xpi file. I have given following link . https://localhost:8443/xpi/firefox.xpi but it always give me "the add-on could not be downloaded because of connection failure on localhost" it works on http protocol but it always gives error for https. Do we have to create any certificate for xpi file installation ?

Is there any solution for that? Can you please help me.
