Camcorder

A simple Web Application to record, watch and upload videos to dailymotion.

The goal is to showcase getUserMedia() & MediaRecorder APIs, as well as Dailymotion JavaScript SDK, and how they can be used to record and upload a video to Dailymotion, directly from the browser.

Give it a try

What do you get?

• A Mobile app. It also works on desktop but the UI is kind of broken...

• An Android app. Unfortunately Safari iOS doesn't support getUserMedia()/MediaRecorder yet. So it will only work on Android devices

• Features :

  • Record a video from the phone camera
  • List recorded videos
  • Watch (in-app), download (on the device) or remove recorded videos
  • Login to dailymotion, upload a recorded video to your account

• Works Offline! :

  • Recordings are save in IndexedDB thanks to localForage library
  • Service Workers are enabled thanks to offline-plugin for webpack + a manifest.json file
  • Upload to Dailymotion is obviously not available when offline 😉

Local setup

1. Clone the repository
2. Run npm install in the newly created folder.
3. Create your own Dailymotion API key
4. Make your newly created API key available as an environement variable : export DM_API_KEY=<API key>
5. Run npm start to start the webpack dev server
6. Open http://localhost:8080/webpack-dev-server/ or http://localhost:8080/ to test the application.
