If you take a look in your file storage area, what’s the file size that’s reported in there?
@pork1977gm
The maximum via the webcam is about 50 MB, beyond that it does not store. But if I use file upload via recorder, it stores 380 MB with no problem.
Right ok, might be something to do with that upload recording action. I’ll test it.
Do you see any errors in the console log if you open up the dev tools in the browser when that action runs?
@pork1977gm
Error: FILE_TOO_LARGE
Ah ok, thanks for that. I’ll have a look at that action and take another approach for uploading larger files by segmenting chunks rather than how it uploads it right now. If you give me some time I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. I have some other priorities I’m hoping to get done by the end of today but I’ll try and get this fixed up asap.
@pork1977gm Thanks for your help and responsiveness!
All good!
Hi Paul, I got the same black screen error on the videos as well. Tried changing video source file, going back in versions but no luck.
The error code I was able to find is the same as @m1vp submitted "VIDEOJS: WARN: videojs.plugin() is deprecated; use videojs.registerPlugin() instead
(anonymous) @ video.min.7.14.3.js:12
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help figure this thing out.
BLACK SCREEN ISSUE
I think I’ve finally narrowed down this problem. I’m pretty sure this blank screen bug has come around since v1.114.0 which has the description “add apple airPlay icon when iOS detected”.
What you guys can do is just roll back the plugin to v1.113.0 (as a quick test) refresh your page and see if it plays and then let me know if that resolves it.
In the meantime, now that I have it isolated, I’ll start to work on a fix, although I still can’t replicate it which is making it awkward but if you guys can confirm this by rolling back to v1.113.0 that would be a big help to me and validate that it is that which is causing it.
@brookelustig
This feature may need to come out because of stability issues.

Yep you are right reverted back to v1.113.0 and it worked. The earlier error was happening in both chrome and safari. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
Fantastic, thank you for letting me know.
UPDATE AND FIX TO BLACK SCREEN
Version 1.148.0
This version has 2 main things going on.
-
A while back in v1.114.0 some code was added to support Apple’s airPlay feature. After a fair bit of testing, it turns out it was that which was occasionally causing the black screen which some of you have been seeing. Thanks to all of you who have sent me info about this, it’s been very helpful and I’m satisfied this is now finally fixed (well at least I hope anyway!)
.
@brookelustig I’m sorry it had to be removed. The previous version of the plugin v1.147 will be the last version which still has it included, if you need it still. It’s important that I do my best to maintain stability for everyone and I have tried to diagnose the root cause of the issue but I’m unfortunately lacking the environment to properly test it. -
The core videoJS code has been updated and tested with the newest version (now running v7.18.1 - release date 23/02/2022)
For details on this you can check here: v7.18.1 release notes
@noahser, @m1vp
This warning should now be gone, although it was fine to ignore anyway.
VIDEOJS: WARN: videojs.plugin() is deprecated; use videojs.registerPlugin() instead
@pengustudios, @shikuwangombe
A note on the event called “A VideoJS Player is ready”
This is designed to trigger only once, when the page first loads and the video player becomes available. It’s there to use almost like the same way you would use Bubble’s “Page is loaded” event. The difference being, if you were to run the “Load media file” inside the “Page is loaded” event, it may run before the video player is ready so in this scenario you’d put that action into the “Is ready” event instead. All the actions now wait before the video player is ready anyway so you shouldn’t need to use this event, but it’s there just in case and can be useful to help structure your workflows.
Any problems, just shout.

@thierry + all
The Upload recording action has changed to support uploads of Bubble’s maximum file size which is 5GB. There’s a state added which you can reference to get the file upload’s percentage, called “Upload progress” - see below for details.
After you update, you’re going to get the red error checker appear like so…
You just need to give that option a Yes value and this is now required to use the action.
The action no longer has the filename option and looks like this with the information section updated.
The recorder demo page has been updated so you can reference that if needed.

Great, it works well. I was able to record a 5 minute video with the webcam with no problem.
Thank you very much Paul for fixing this problem, and for doing it quickly!
No probs, glad all is working well.

Has anyone tried using this for Livepeer? I still can’t get it to work… If there’s a guide on livestreams that’ll be helpful (or point to the post - too many to scroll…)
Hey @pork1977gm ,
Just updated the plug-in to the latest version and there’s some issues breaking the recorder
Reverted back to old version and now working fine.
In the recorder element, you have a new option right at the top for enabling file uploads. Set that to Yes and the maximum MB then you’ll be fine.

Oh great that worked. Didn’t notice that. Thanks!
Is there a single resource with all documentation and updates for this plug-in? So many features hard to keep up in the forum.
No probs. There has been lots of new features and fixes applied since this post was originally created but it’s still the best source of documentation I have right now.
I really need to write some proper documentation up for this plugin and I keep thinking about doing it but don’t get any further than that since there’s so much to write, but I’ll see if I can get around to doing that and I can outline all the options and explain what everything does in greater detail.
I’m always around for support anyway, and that applies to anyone who uses it so until then just keep on asking and I’ll do my best to answer any questions until I get that doc put together. This new option here is to support the maximum file upload of 5GB which Bubble added in not so long ago, it just means you can now record videos up to a max of that size (or whatever you limit it to).
Just make sure you read all those little documentation fields which you see against each field because I make sure I write as much as a I can in those to explain what each option does.
