Is it possible to check which video/audio `codec` supported by which browser using JS?

问题

More precisely, I would like to check which codecs I can use in a browser for video/audio elements in HTML5. (e.g. Safari supports H.264, but I also would like to know which codecs I can use)

Since specification changes over-time I would like to do it somehow automaticaly, not based on browser-codec tables.

I think, it can be written as a function in JS(if it is not written, yet). I have tried to Google it, but wasn't even close to find an answer.

Reference link : https://www.nomensa.com/blog/2011/detecting-browser-compatibility-html5-video-and-audio You can do something like this :

// Define the get_mime function
var get_mime = function(filetype){
var mimetype = '';
var media_container = 'video';
switch(filetype){
case 'mp4':
mimetype = 'video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"';
break;
case 'ogg':
mimetype = 'video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"';
break;
case 'webm':
mimetype = 'video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"';
break;
case 'mp3':
mimetype = 'audio/mpeg';
media_container = 'audio';
break;
}
return {'mimetype':mimetype,'container':media_container};
};

// Check to see if the browser can render the file type
// using HTML5
var supports_media = function(mimetype, container) {
var elem = document.createElement(container);
if(typeof elem.canPlayType == ‘function’){
var playable = elem.canPlayType(mimetype);
if((playable.toLowerCase() == 'maybe')||(playable.toLowerCase() == 'probably')){
return true;
}
}
return false;
};

// When the DOM has loaded check the file extension of each media link
// and serve up appropriate media player
$(document).ready(function(){
$(‘a.youtube-links’).each(function(){

var path = $(this).attr(‘href’);

var extension = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf('.') + 1);

var extension_info = get_mime(extension);

if(supports_media(extension_info.mimetype, extension_info.container)){

// Serve up an HTML5 Media Player and controls

serve_html5();

}else{

// Serve up a flash based video for browsers that

//will not play the file using HTML5

serve_flash();

}

});
});
