For a client's local web system to check incoming goods, I have a page with the following code:
Code: Select all
<video id='video' width='640' height='480' autoplay='autoplay'></video>
Also on this page is a button which allows the user to take an image using this webcam's stream.
That way, a photo can be taken from any faulty products, and these photo's can be send back to suppliers.
The whole web system is all on a local LAN and is not accessible from the outside.
All data is send over http and not https, which is fine since it's only run on a local LAN.
Up untill Firefox 61 this all worked perfect. The webcam stream was displayed on the page, and the user was able to take photographs using this stream.
But now the user's Firefox has been updated to FF62 and the stream is not displayed anymore. A warning is displayed saying the website is not secure since it doesn't use https.
Even when I allow camera access to this site, it still won't display the webcam's stream.
Something has changed in FF62 that prevents the stream from being displayed.
Is there anything I can change so the webcam's stream is displayed again?
For now I installed FF61 on this user's pc and told him he can only use the local system on Firefox, and for other (internet) browsing use Chrome.
Btw, chrome has the same problem, it won't display the stream anymore. The only current and up to date browser that displays the stream is Edge.
But this user wants to be able to use Firefox instead of Edge.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
