I am really attracted to the idea of local running in-browser tools, since the website is then used only as a distribution medium which is super easy to use. And I really need such a tool, I was eager to test it.
However on both my first and second try it failed. I tried to import a video clip recorded on a Pixel phone. In Firefox it failed with a following message:
"Your browser does not support the codec "hvc1.2.4.L156". Try a different video."
Ok, fair, probably need to use Chrome for this type of tool. Tried it in Chrome:
"Audio decode failed: your browser cannot decode the audio in "..._webm.bin". Try re-encoding the file with AAC audio."
Sad. Hope you manage to work this out. Let me know if you have a newsletter or something where I can get notified if this gets fixed.
Hey, I had to rework a few things to try and address this issue and that exposed another bigger problem so thank you very much for flagging this.
I released a fix primarily for chrome but firefox seems to be a lot harder to solve but I will start working on a fix for that as well.
Hey this is on my todo list and will make it a point to get back to you here once it is fixed.
The main issue is that codec support is patchy most muxer software that I found has gaps in codec support and I had no clue but the codec names for audio and video seem to be named differently based on platform and browser even for some cases.
Will be looking again at this topic asap and will get back to you here!
