Display a video from a Blob Javascript

Question

I would like to display a video from a Javascript Blob/File object in the HTML5 video tag.

This code only works for small videos :

var reader = new          


        

Answer 1

In some case blobObject.data should be provided in createObjectURL() method. See this simple trick:

function playVideo(videoStream){ // as blob 

 var video = document.querySelector('video');

 var videoUrl=window.URL.createObjectURL(videoStream.data);// blob.data gives actual data

 video.src = videoUrl;
}
