can support blob? about indigo-player HOT 3 OPEN

There's no API that does blob yet, but it shouldn't be too hard to introduce a mediasource streamtype.

Just to be clear, are you talking about creating a MediaSource object and have the object URL be assigned to the video src property?

Yes exactly like MediaSource
I found this solution on Mozilla MediaSource web API

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

var assetURL = 'frag_bunny.mp4';
// Need to be specific for Blink regarding codecs
// ./mp4info frag_bunny.mp4 | grep Codec
var mimeCodec = 'video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"';

if ('MediaSource' in window && MediaSource.isTypeSupported(mimeCodec)) {
var mediaSource = new MediaSource();
//console.log(mediaSource.readyState); // closed
video.src = URL.createObjectURL(mediaSource);
mediaSource.addEventListener('sourceopen', sourceOpen);
} else {
console.error('Unsupported MIME type or codec: ', mimeCodec);
}

function sourceOpen () {
//console.log(this.readyState); // open
var mediaSource = this;
var sourceBuffer = mediaSource.addSourceBuffer(mimeCodec);
fetchAB(assetURL, function (buf) {
sourceBuffer.addEventListener('updateend', function () {
mediaSource.endOfStream();
video.play();
//console.log(mediaSource.readyState); // ended
});
sourceBuffer.appendBuffer(buf);
});
};

function fetchAB (url, cb) {
console.log(url);
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest;
xhr.open('get', url);
xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer';
xhr.onload = function () {
cb(xhr.response);
};
xhr.send();
};

But it uses some specific codec formats which are not supported by some mp4 videos. Can you check this and add this in media player so that it automatically checks each codec format for the given video and then show the blob URL in the video src property? Or can we add this option without a specific codec format of the video?
Because if I used one mp4 video for my website maybe the other video format will be WebM which have a different codec format.

This MediaSource API works perfectly for this "frag_bunny.mp4" video. I have tried to use other videos but its getting error on every video. Means mostly downloaded videos don't have the same audio and video codec format like this one "avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"
