WebCodecs String Finder

This skill helps you find the most supported and appropriate codec strings for WebCodecs, whether for video or audio.

Workflow

1. Requirements Gathering

Understand the user's requirements: - Type: Video or Audio? - Platform: Chrome, Edge, Android, iOS, etc.? - Resolution: 1080p, 4k, etc. (for video)? - Codec Name: h264 (avc1), h265 (hev1/hvc1), vp9, av1, opus, aac, etc.?

2. Search for Supported Codecs

Use web_fetch to access the codec support table: - URL: https://webcodecsfundamentals.org/datasets/codec-support-table/ - Identify the most supported codecs based on the requirement (platform and codec type).

3. Confirm Codec Details

For the top candidates found in the previous step, confirm their details: - Use web_fetch to visit the detail page: https://webcodecsfundamentals.org/codecs/<CODEC-STRING>.html - Replace <CODEC-STRING> with the identified candidate (e.g., avc1.42e01e). - Verify that it meets the specific requirements (e.g., profile, level, platform support).

4. Recommendation

Return the 2-3 most fitted codec strings. - Provide a brief explanation of why each was chosen. - Include the browser/platform support if relevant.

Tips

• Common video codec strings: avc1.42e01e (H.264 Baseline), avc1.4d401f (H.264 Main), hev1.1.6.l93.b0 (H.265), vp09.00.10.08 (VP9).
• Common audio codec strings: opus, mp4a.40.2 (AAC-LC).
• When in doubt, prefer widely supported codecs like H.264 and Opus for maximum compatibility.
