#SailfishOS #Gecko dev diary Day 286. Looking into errors triggered when granting permission to use the microphone. Why no embedder element?
@flypig Ah, and I'm wrong, the error can still be triggered in 4.5 I just launched 'harbour-scaler' the web wrapper around scaler and it produces that error as soon as you hit the play button in the app. The audio does play though.
@poetaster Oh, this *is* super-helpful. It's brilliant that you recognised this; thank you!
That would confirm that I was looking in the wrong place. The question I need to answer isn't about why "browser" is null (since it seems it can be null on ESR 78 too), it's about where the "audio-playback" message gets triggered. From what you say, it looks like this error isn't the thing that causes the audio to fail, but it would still be best to fix it. And to get reliable audio.
@flypig That message had 'put me off' for some time since I had issues with audio in the mahjong wrapper, but it turned out that it had nothing to do with the spotty audio in that webview. At some point, I recognized that audio 'did work' for some in the mahjong app, but was spotty. I haven't revisited it since other audio apps (bassoontracker before all) work flawlessly. Just some thoughts.
