[emergences]

recently I tried cimbar decoder wasm version, it went well in chromium base brower, but in firefox,decode file is much slower under 500kb size , up to 1m file the decoder caused my browser restart .

That sounds a lot like a memory leak. What android version is this?

Thanks for trying it out! Hopefully I can get all the bugs fixed while it's in beta... 🙃

Also, (standard firefox troubleshooting advice) if you have any extensions running it might be useful to try with them off.

I tried both on normal firefox and my geckoview project (gecko version > 140) with no extensions on android10. Besides, I think an npm package for both the encoder and decoder would be useful, considering the number of frontend frameworks out there.

Android 10 is pretty old. There's a chance that it doesn't have all the APIs we need -- the web decoder is built on fairly modern web apis (getMediaDevices, VideoFrame, requestVideoFrameCallback). I'd like to add some better error reporting to the webapp, if I do perhaps that can shed some light on the situation.

In the meantime, the native android app is (and will continue to be) the better option when available anyway. I've also been careful to make sure it keeps working on old android devices...
