Google Chrome is the only browser, that works flawless now. FF is displaying the video, but cannot upload the captured video image. IE is not detecting the video, Safari neither (quiktime plugin installed).
Ihave just uploade an integrated version of our plugins to github. Admin can select flash or html5. I used your tabs, javascript and layout and html5 is the default.
Could you update your branch after checking mine ?
Safari doesn't support getUserMedia at all, so it won't work for this. It was a simple fix for FF. When I had originally branched, I was using JS to detect which method to use so it was seamless to the admin and end users. I'll check out your branch and merge in what I can. If we have similar enough code bases, we should consolidate into one repo.
One issue will be the source for the SWF...do you still have that?
Yes I have the SWF source. I'll include it in the github code base.
There is still an issue with Internet Explorer also and getUserMedia. It should listen to msGetUserMedia but apparently it doesn't. IE is still widely used and I would not be switching to html5 now until the major 3 browsers all work
Gerard - Thanks for the SWF source! Let's combine into your repo. If you can give me write access, I'll merge the two correctly so we don't lose history, and then I'll commit fixes to that repo instead of mine.
Gerard and I are combining plugins to offer a solution that's more compatible. The FF fix is fairly easy, but I haven't had a chance to get to it yet. I'll be sure to upload a new release when I do.
This is a big change that adds Gerard's Flash as a fallback for browsers that don't support HTML5, and for FF in HTML5 mode. I haven't been able to check against IE, so I'd appreciate if someone can do that.
Feel free to comment on the PR letting us know if it's working for you.
very nice thanks : )
wwwwwwwooooooooowwwwwww
thanks Brett
Nice!
What's the proper folder title for this? better-avatar or better_avatar?
"elgg-better-avatar" as in the zip seems to work.
Very nice plugin by the way.

I think it is mostly the getUserMedia() detection that fails. Take a look at this code https://github.com/addyosmani/getUserMedia.js/blob/master/dist/getUserMedia.js
I'll make an issue on the github code.
For Safari it's the getUserMedia detection, but for FF it looks like it's the failing when saving as base64. Will check it out later today...
@Brett, I think you are right.

Any news on a version at works in Firefox?

awesome.
I've just committed a new branch for this at https://github.com/Centillien/webcam/tree/haxe

I'm confused ;) Should we be all using this one now: http://community.elgg.org/plugins/1606904/1.02/webcam ?
Use the one Gerard uploaded. I'll update my plugin desc to say this.
IE is working, but with flash only. There are still some small glitches and improvements to make, but we will work that out.
And yes, you need to start using http://community.elgg.org/plugins/1606904/1.02/webcam This plugin is deprecated. Brett made some really big improvements on my plugin and this plugin is already running behind.
