Avoiding NavigatorUserMediaError "Only secure origins are allowed" on HTTP in Chrome
Solution 1
The unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure flag works for me as documented here.
On OS X this looks like:
$ /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir=/tmp/foo --unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=http://alt.local:8080
For various reasons, my local development server doesn't run on localhost or port 80. Specifying the alternative port appears to be necessary.
The user-data-dir directive appears to create a temporary sandbox profile in Chrome.
Solution 2
According to https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/prefer-secure-origins-for-powerful-new-features, localhost is supposed to be considered as a secure origin.
If you do not test on localhost but on a real domain, then you should enable an HTTPS access (you can get a free certificate with Let's Encrypt)

I'm trying to make some audio/video tests with a JavaScript library for SIP phones and since Chrome 47 I can no longer test in local development because of this error:
NavigatorUserMediaError {} constraintName: "" message: "Only secure origins are allowed (see:https://goo. gl/Y0ZkNV)." name: "PermissionDeniedError"
Is there an option (flag) in Chrome to disable this? Or is there a way to download older versions of Chrome (I couldn't find any)?
