PVRCarbon for web application

Hi
How to capture a new PVRCarbon recording for a ‘web app’ specifically.
I want to track OpenGL API calls from a ‘web app’.

Currently I have created a ‘pvrcarbon.json’ file in the path of the web-app.
But after launching the web-app, I do not see any option for online connection in the PVRCarbon GUI. And in case of offline recording, I do not see any ‘.pvrcbn’ file being generated.

Same method if applied for a native app, I am able to capture a PVRCarbon recording.

Please suggest methods to resolve this.

Best regards

Hi onlineAV,

Could you please try launching the web browser when taking a PVRCarbon recording and specifying the URL as argument?

select_chrome
select_chrome870×533 9.25 KB

You might need to select as entry point “com.android.chrome/com.google.android.apps.chrome.Main”

select_com.android.chrome_com.google.android.apps.chrome.Main
select_com.android.chrome_com.google.android.apps.chrome.Main874×529 26.7 KB

If this still fails, please provide the information below so I can try to reproduce the issue:

  • URL with the WebGL application.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device model you are using to take a recording.
  • Driver information (Aida64 → Display → GPU Version → information in this field, should be in the format “OpenGL ES 3.2 build x.y@number”).

Best regards,
Alejandro
