How to stop video stream once .end() is called? about webgazer

[idaknow]

Hi @andrade1379 I've just opened a pull request with the functionality to be able to do this and remove the outlines in the video stream. However, I kept this as an optional feature so you'll just need to uncomment .stopVideo() in the .end() method.

This has been merged into master and www branch.

This is still occurring with the latest version of the code.

Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04
Chome
NextJS

I cloned and built the latest version of WebGazer and loaded the script. The global namespace of webgazer exhibits all the expected behavior ( begin, pause, resume). However, end only stops the tracking but doesn't release the webcam stream.

Any ideas why?

Same issue here.

Figured it out... I used the undocumented function stopVideo() right before end() ( https://github.com/brownhci/WebGazer/blob/master/src/dom_util.mjs ).

Alternately, uncomment in webgazer.end() ...

//webgazer.stopVideo(); // uncomment if you want to stop the video from streaming

...as @idaknow mentioned above, years ago :)
