This would be amazing.

There's definitely a gap in the capacitor ecosystem for something like this.

We built a fairly custom solution to solve that: saved a video to the file system, chunked the video file from the file system back into the webapp, and then uploaded the chunks to MUX. It's not a great solution as for anything longer than very short videos the chunking of the video back into the web app is very slow. Being able to handle all this in one action within the native layer would be much faster.

I was looking for alternatives when I saw this proposal. I would definitely use this.

@alexandargyurov could you share your code for this? How far did you get with it?

[alexandargyurov]

I have not worked on it for a while as I no longer use Capacitor. The codebase for the project is here: https://github.com/axlemaps/capacitor-mux#readme

@alexandargyurov codebase is returning a 404 for me - maybe it's private?

@drakedeatonuk whoops, thought it was public. Changed it's visibility 👍
