read size exceeds bufferSize

[bradisbell]

I have on a couple occasions received the following error:

https://github.com/eadle/webm-byte-stream/blob/master/lib/webm-byte-stream.js#L220

Error: read size exceeds bufferSize

I don't know the conditions to reproduce it. Any suggestions for resolving this problem? Any way to handle stream errors like this and close the stream gracefully?

The default buffer is 10MB. You can set a larger buffer size as one of the options or fork and use dynamic memory. It's literally just a buffer that loops on itself.

// default buffer size is 10 * 1024 * 1024 or 10MB
var webmstream = new WebMByteStream({bufferSize: 20 * 1024 * 1024}); // now 20MB

Thank you. And, is there a way to handle the error?

The error occurs when a the cluster end tag is encountered and the length of the cluster exceeds the buffer size. I pretty much forget everything about node and webm, sorry.
