The Device Selection modal consists of:
- DeviceSelection, an overly smart component responsible for
triggering stream creation and cleanup.
- DeviceSelector for selector elements.
- VideoInputPreview for displaying a video preview.
- AudioInputPreview for displaying a volume meter.
- AudioOutputPreview for a test sound output link.
Store changes include is primarily storing the list of
available devices in redux. Other app state has been left
alone for future refactoring.
We seemed to be using the names "film strip" and "filmstrip" (and,
consequently, their source code-conscious forms such as film-strip,
FilmStrip, etc.) In order to comply with our coding style which requires
a consistent one name for a given abstraction, choose one name and
rename the uses of the other name.
Wikipedia has a definition of a "filmstrip", I couldn't find a "film
strip". I guess our abstraction can be seen as what's described there.
When I google "film strip", I get results about "filmstrip" at the top.
That's why I chose "filmstrip".
Certain uses of "film strip" such as interfaceConfig.filmStripOnly and
in the external API I left untouched in an attempt to preserve
compatibility.
I wasn't sure whether CSS was tangled in compatibility so I made a
choice and renamed there was well.
When a conference is to happen in a domain which is not the defaut, its config
is loaded and set. As part of this process, lib-jitsi-meet is disposed. Because
disposing is asynchronous, events happen in this sequence:
- set new config
- dispose lib (which effectively wipes the config)
- init lib
This results in the library to be initialized without the loaded config, which
was lost. This commit fixes that by delaying setting the config and
re-initializing the library until it was disposed.
The functionality to use the react-native-webrtc custom API for fast switching
cameras was moved to JitsiLocalTrack in lib-jitsi-meet. Use that.
Ref: https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/pull/444
The behavior can be triggered with the toggleAudioOnly action, which is
currently fired with a button.
The following aspects of the conference will change when in audio only mode:
- local video is muted
- last N is set to 0 (effectively muting remote video)
- full-screen mode is exited
- audio mode is set to "audio chat" (default output is the earpiece)
- the wake lock is disengaged
One aspect not handled in this patch is disabling the video mute button while in
audio only mode. The user should not be able to turn back video on in that case.
They better represent if a participant has video available or not. There are
cases when even a participant in the last N set would not have video because it
disconnected momentarily, for example.
Use the curstom _switchCamera API provided by react-native-webrtc to toggle the
camera instead of destroying the current track and creating a new one.
_switchCamera is implemented at a low level, so the track perceives no changes,
thus being a lot faster and less involved since the capturer doesn't need to be
destroyed and re-created.
In addition, don't mirror the video for the back camera.
Ref: https://github.com/oney/react-native-webrtc/pull/235
When a new local video track is created an associated video capturer is created
for it. The cause for the freezes seems to be creating mutliple tracks (which
come with a video capturer each). Fix this by first disposing of the previous
video track before creating the new one.
Ref:
https://github.com/oney/react-native-webrtc/issues/209#issuecomment-281482869
Lib-jitsi-meet does not really implement isScreenSharing. Besides,
getCameraFacingMode will already make sure that the video track does not
represent a desktop stream.
It got broken while rewriting the Web toolbar in React Toolbox. There is
a problem with the toolbars and how we construct the intialState of the
buttons. The _getInitialState() in the toolbox reducer gets the list of
buttons from interfaceConfig, but in fact interfaceConfig is meant to be
overriden in several very important cases. One of the cases being the
external API, which we use in several projects in production.
JSDoc comments didn't follow the ESLint rule for properly formatted
sentences.
BTW, I'm not blind to the fact that PasswordRequiredPrompt and
RoomLockPrompt participated in a birthing of source code through
copy+paste. (If we do not copy+paste, we will not have to fix one and
the same source code such as comments multiple times.)
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/pull/1397 (React Toolbar) is huge at
the time of this writing. In order to reduce it, I'm extracting changes
not directly related to React-ifying the Toolbar such as added jsdocs
and source code formatting.
This is in preparation for an upcoming "audio only mode" feature. Setting last N
will also be required for it, so this patch factors out the action and makes it
public so other modules can reuse it.
In addition, if the value is set to undefined the configured default value (or
-1 if absent) is picked.
Replaces changeAvatarID, changeAvatarURL and changeEmail with
participantUpdated action.
participantUpdated can be fired for local user without id. This
fixes the problem with updating the local user before the user
join the conference which results in fix for failing to execute
commands for avatarID, avatarURL and email right after the iframe
api creates the iframe with Jitsi Meet.
In this case makes more sense to have overlay frame included in every overlay instead
of abstract class that implements the overlay frame and have to be extended by every
overlay. In addition, mapStateToProps isn't working well with inheritance.
The error raised by JitsiMeetJS.init() is already in the state of
features/base/lib-jitsi-meet so it's not a good design to store the same
error in the state of features/unsupported-browser.
Fixes an issue where immersive mode would be enabled when coming back from the
background on the welcome screen.
Re-fixes c57e713, which was not correct.
On RN we don't use the global APP object, so don't save the store there unless
it's defined, which is the case in the current web version. Also, check for
undefined explicitly, since a "if (!APP)" check will throw a ReferenceError.
The mobile app remembers the domain which hosted the last conference. If
the user specified a full URL first and specified a room name only the
second time, it was not obvious that the second conference would be
hosted on the domain of the first conference.
Looks like Android gets confused as to what surface to blit when we hide or
show toolbars. Setting a border on the container, seems to force the entire
area to blit properly.
Other attempted approaches, with no success:
- zIndex of -100
- width and height of 0
- opacity of 0 and setting 'disabled' on touch containers
This patch applies the workaround in the welcome page and conference containers.
Lib-jitsi-meet uses jQuery's .append method to manipulate Jingle. The
method in question invokes the getter and setter of Element.innerHTML.
Unfortunately, xmldom which we use in React Native to polyfill DOM does
not polyfill Element.innerHTML. So polyfill it ourselves.
Turns out React Native's timers (setTimeout / setInterval) don't run while the
app is in the background: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/167
This patch replaces the global timer functions with those from the
react-native-background-timer package, which work in the background.
These timers won't magically make an application work in the background, but
they will run if an application already happens to run in the background. That's
our case while in a conference, so these timers will run, allowing XMPP pings to
be sent and the conference to stay up as long as the user desires.
- Use 1 name for 1 abstraction. Instead of useFullScreen and enabled use
fullScreen.
- Comments are correct English sentences so no double spaces between
senteces, no capitalization of the work On midsentence.
- Write as little source code as possible if readability is preserved.
- Utilize Facebook's Flow.
- The name of a private function must start with _ and the jsdoc should
state that the function is private.
The implementation varies across platforms, with the same goal: allow the app to
use the entire screen real state while in a conference.
On Android we use immersive mode, which will hide the status and navigation bars.
https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/immersive.html
On iOS the status bar is hidden, with a slide effect.
The desired behavior of the button 'Start a conference' / 'Join the
conversation' is to launch the mobile app if installed; otherwise, do
nothing i.e. continue to display UnsupportedMobileBrowser.
Anyway, we may change our minds about allowing the user to continue in a
supported mobile browser so preserve the source code that enables that
but give it more appropriate naming.
The files react/index.native.js and react/index.web.js ended up having
very similar source code related to initializing the Redux store. Remove
the duplication.
Additionally, I always wanted the App React Component to be consumed
without the need to provide a Redux store to it.
Simplify the source code (with the idea that source code which does not
exist does not have to be maintained).
Additionally, apply modifications to have the source code comply with the coding
style.
Overall, prepare saghul:audio-mode for merge into jitsi:master.
Recently, we reimplemented the Welcome page in React. Unfortunately, we
broke the checkbox that enables/disables the Welcome page and it would
allow checking but wouldn't allow unchecking.
Recently, we reimplemented the watermarks in React. Unfortunately, we
didn't take into account film strip-only mode.
Additionally, we duplicated watermark-related source code on the Welcome
and Conference pages.
A bug was discovered in d17cc9fa which would raise a failure to push
into the browser's history if a base href was defined. Fix the failure
by removing react-router. Anyway, the usage of react-router was
incorrect because the app must hit the server infrastructure when it
enters a room because the server will choose the very app version then.
