While capturing the video how to get its base64 string

[NICK7637433]

Hi,
I am able to capture audio and video by using this code
// capture callback
var captureSuccess = function(mediaFiles) {
var i, path, len;
for (i = 0, len = mediaFiles.length; i < len; i += 1) {
path = mediaFiles.fullPath;
// do something interesting with the file
}
};

// capture error callback
var captureError = function(error) {
navigator.notification.alert('Error code: ' + error.code, null, 'Capture Error');
};

// start audio capture
navigator.device.capture.captureAudio(captureSuccess, captureError, {limit:2});

Know my requirement is i want to store that audio and video which i have captured in ms sql database so that i can retrieve that video/audio anywhere and can play in any device . Can anybody tell me how to get the base64 of audio and video .

Hi Evgene,
Thanx for your quick reply . Above link are not providing me any solution for my case . Here is the code for image which works
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL
});

function onSuccess(imageData) {
var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
image.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}

function onFail(message) {
alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}

in this we are able to get the base64 as we click the image . i m searching for same scenario for audio and video if it is possible ?....

This is what i have tried :

function captureSuccess(mediaFiles) {
var i, len,path;
path = mediaFiles[0];
win(path);
var data = [
{type: mediaFiles[0].type, src: mediaFiles[0].fullPath}
];
var map = {type:"type", src:"src"};
app.populateWidget("HTML5Video", data, map);

}

function win(path) {

Code: Select all

 var reader = new FileReader(); 
 reader.onloadend = function (evt) { 
     console.log("read success"); 
 app.showMessage(evt.target.result); 
 }; 
 reader.readAsDataURL(path);  

};

function captureError(error) {
navigator.notification.alert('Error code: ' + error.code, null, 'Capture Error');
}

function captureVideo() {
navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(captureSuccess, captureError, {limit: 1});
}

output in alert is :- data:video/quicktime;base64,

i m not able to the get base64 string , can you point out where is the mistake
or if you know any alternative for achieving this ( i want to store video/audio in database in any format so that i can retrieve it and can play in any other devices )
please share

Hello Nick,

This should be possible, but we do not have ready example of code for this case, please search online for solutions, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24...
