  • Request video frame callback: media.rvfc.enabled. The requestVideoFrameCallback() method of the HTMLVideoElement interface registers a callback function that runs when a new video frame is sent to the compositor. This enables developers to perform efficient operations on each video frame, such as video analysis, painting to a canvas, synchronization with external audio sources, and so on. The method returns a callback handle that can be passed to HTMLVideoElement.cancelVideoFrameCallback() in order to cancel the outstanding callback request. Both methods are are enabled by default on the nightly build. (Firefox bug 1800882).
