PAM

PAM Native Media

Terminal window
pam add media
pam doctor
$media = new Media();
$media->probe('media/clip.mp4', fn (?MediaInfo $info, ?string $error) => null);
$media->thumbnail('media/clip.mp4', 'thumbs/clip.jpg', 640, 360, fn (?string $path, ?string $error) => null);

Media probes and thumbnails without loading bytes into PHP; MediaInfo normalizes type, dimensions, duration, and orientation; ThumbnailFormat selects output. Paths are canonical sandbox-relative values. Images honor EXIF orientation and video thumbnails track transforms.

Embedded camera

Section titled “Embedded camera”
return CameraView::make()
    ->facing(CameraFacing::Back)
    ->mode(CameraMode::Photo)
    ->flash(CameraFlashMode::Off)
    ->captureRevision($photoRevision)
    ->onEvent(fn (CameraEventKind $kind, ?CameraCapture $capture, string $message) => null);

Revision commands prevent declarative re-renders from repeating capture. Camera output combinations are mode-specific for device compatibility. Request camera/microphone permission, bound recording duration and storage, and handle returned paths through normal FileReference APIs.

MediaKind classifies probed results. MediaPluginProvider registers the module and camera view automatically during PAM plugin discovery.
