The setCapturerFromFile method configures K21 to process an existing video (.mp4) or image (.png) file instead of capturing from screen. This is useful when you want to analyze pre-recorded content.

​

Usage

const k21 = new K21();

k21.setCapturerFromFile({
  file: './recordings/screen-capture.mp4'
});

​

CaptureFromFileConfig Interface

The configuration object requires the following parameter:

​

Supported File Types

• Video files (.mp4)
• Image files (.png)

​

Examples

​

Process a Video File

k21.setCapturerFromFile({
  file: './captures/meeting-recording.mp4'
});

​

Process a Screenshot

k21.setCapturerFromFile({
  file: './screenshots/dashboard.png'
});

​

Error Handling

The method will throw an error in these cases:

• If a screen capturer is already set
• If the file path is not provided
• If the file type is not supported (must be .mp4 or .png)
• If the file path is invalid

try {
  k21.setCapturerFromFile({
    file: './recordings/video.avi' // Unsupported format
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Failed to set file capturer:', error.message);
  // Error: File must be either .mp4 or .png
}

​

Important Notes

1. You cannot use setCapturerFromFile if you’ve already set a screen capturer using setCapturer
2. The file must exist and be accessible when the method is called
3. Make sure you have appropriate permissions to read the file
