Help! I asked for a js video rec and save- to find months later that it can not be saved

[vanessab10]

I wondered if i can get a honest answer to the issues I am experiencing with my business start up project.I seem to be going around in circles being told one thing by one programmer, led down the wrong path, then this happens again with other programmers and I am always left in a mess/confussed about whats best to do. I need to know the solution first before i go into any other orders for this to be done. Can someone please help;

I hired someone from Fiverr months ago to code a javascript live video record feature,which has taken me so many months to design, Then i hired him to do a save function for that live video recording function. He said it would take 7 days, by the 10 th day he explained that his life was too busy and that he wasn’t able to continue doing it, but he did half the coding for the save function ( apparently ) I have been trying to find someone who can complete this save part for me, as its holding me up from starting a business. Today(two months later) I got someone to check out the codes, they tell me the save will never be able to be coded in js and so this feature is now not possible to use for my project. So all along I have been trying to get this coded in js by someone, I have wasted time and money. The save of this recording will be going to my AWS
How can i get this js live video recording to save? do i need to get the save done in php and integrate this
with the js codes to be able to save to AWS S3 buckets?

I have no idea about coding but I have invited someone who might to join the conversation if they wish.

Surely the person to go to in this situation is the person who told you that

the save will never be able to be coded in js and so this feature is now not possible to use for my project

and ask them for advice on what to do.

Hi Vanessa (Eoin invited me to comment),

The ability to save the stream all depends upon your current code setup. If it is purely Javascript based and you want a pure Javascript based solution for saving, this won’t be possible.

This is because Javascript is a “client-side” code. Client-side means that the action takes place on the user’s (the client’s) computer.

Whilst server-side means that the action takes place on a web server.

Live streaming can be achieved with Javascript (as it relies on the user’s computer to stream - such as a webcam), whilst the saving relies on the server to process, save and move the file from a temporary server location to AWS.

To achieve the saving, you will need to introduce a server-side method which allows for the stream to be saved. PHP wouldn’t be the best solution here. Instead, you should be looking at a framework like Flex.

Long story short - Javascript is great for setting up a simple live stream to view as-is but saving the video is a whole different ball-game as it’s a server side action.

I am having a nightmare with this guy, he should not be allowed to sell on here. I am having several issues with it now, I have discovered it is not compatible on ipad when i said i needed it to be compatible on all devices, so now I will have to find someone else and explain the whole process all over again and wait for that to be coded, which is all time consuming and also pay out more money, after wasting alot of money already

I just confronted this “web programmer” on Fiverr, he said he is not willing to resolve any issues and clean up his mess that he left me with.

The whole website/ web app is coded in php no framework and javascript, so is it possible to integrate this Flex in with this language?

Its taken 2 yrs 5 months so far to work on various feature for this project
