javascript - Failed to execute 'createObjectURL' on 'URL':

Question

Display Below error in Safari.

Failed to execute 'createObjectURL' on 'URL': No function was found that matched the signature provided.

My Code is:

function createObjectURL(object) {
    return (window.URL) ? window.URL.createObjectURL(object) : window.webkitURL.createObjectURL(object);
}

This is my Code for image:

function myUploadOnChangeFunction() { 
    if (this.files.length) { 
       for (var i in this.files) { 
           if (this.files.hasOwnProperty(i)) { 
              var src = createObjectURL(this.files[i]); 
              var image = new Image(); 
              image.src = src; 
              imagSRC = src; 
              $('#img').attr('src', src); 
            }
       }           
   } 
}

I experienced the same error, when I passed raw data to createObjectURL:

window.URL.createObjectURL(data)

It has to be a Blob, File or MediaSource object, not data itself. This worked for me:

var binaryData = [];
binaryData.push(data);
window.URL.createObjectURL(new Blob(binaryData, {type: "application/zip"}))

Check also the MDN for more info: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/createObjectURL

UPDATE

Back in the day we could also use createObjectURL() method with MediaStream objects. This use has been dropped by the specs and by browsers.
If you need to set a MediaStream as the source of an HTMLMediaElement just attach the MediaStream object directly to the srcObject property of the HTMLMediaElement e.g. <video> element.

const mediaStream = new MediaStream();
const video = document.getElementById('video-player');
video.srcObject = mediaStream;

However, if you need to work with MediaSource, Blob or File, you still have to create a blob:// URL with URL.createObjectURL() and assign it to HTMLMediaElement.src.
