How to save the recorded video to a path on the disk without dialog? #604

I want to save the recorded video to a file in a special path without dialog when I call STOP function.

stopRecording() {
        this.recRTC.stopRecording(this.processVideo.bind(this));
        this.isRecording = false;
        // What should I write here?!...
}

You can't. It's browser a security policy. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13348013/download-file-without-opening-download-dialog

@codev0 Thank you for your reply.

Because I'm using the library in a Electron project I could save the blob as a file with fs/fs-extra libraries in node.js.

You cannot save a file to the disk, but you can save the blobs to IndexedDB. I'm currently doing this to prevent video loss if the user refreshes mid recording or upload. I recommend using localforage.
