Testing getUserMedia
with pushState
.
Description:
When utilizing MediaDevices.getUserMedia() to display a webcam stream and History.pushState() for navigation, the connection to the webcam appears to be lost upon call to history.pushState()
. When the stream is displayed as a video
element via srcObject
, at the point of pushState()
call, video displays a black background only. Also noteworthy is that the browser indicator of the webcam connection changes despite stream.active
remaining true
and all other properties of MediaStream
instance remaining unchanged.
Noteworthy points:
- The issue is not reproducible in Safari 17.4 on desktop (macOS).
- It's not clear what specific change could potentially cause this issue, based on the release notes, and if the issue is instead intended.
- It's not clear if this issue is specific to Safari or from Webkit.
