With some of the preceding commits in the "multiplying remote
thumbnails" story line, I started hitting this error with 100%
reproducibility:
1. Have a remote participant prepared in conferenceA. Web will do as
well.
2. On iOS prepare to join conferenceB in Safari and use the same device
for step 3.
3. Join conferenceA on the iOS device from step 2 with audio-only. The
audio-only is so that avatars are always visible. Wait for the remote
participant prepared in step 1 to appear.
4. Switch to Safari and hit "Continue in the app" to have the app leave
conferenceA and join conferenceB.
What happens:
After the iOS device joins conferenceB in the Jitsi Meet app, the local
participant is on the large video (as expected) but the avatar of the
local participant is the default audo-generated auto-colored
placeholder. That's because this error was hit and the avatar couldn't
be "fetched".
The Jitsi Meet app always has at most 1 conference of primary interest.
It may have to juggle with 2 JitsiConference instances at the same time
if 1 is in the process of being left and one is joining/joined. But the
one which is joining or joined (which we call conference in the
features/base/conference redux state) is the one "of interest", the
other one is "clean up". Consequently, the remote participants of the
conference "of interest" are the remote participants "of interest" and
the others are "clean up". In order to reduce the time during which
there may be multiplying remote thumbnails, clean the remote
participants who are no longer "of interest" up.
As part of the work on fixing the problem with the multiplying
thumbnails, we've associated remote participant w/ JitsiConference.
However, there are periods of time when multiple JitsiConferences are in
the redux state (and that period is going to be shorted by
StateListenerRegistry). In order to give more control to the feature
base/participants, reduce the occurrences of direct access to the
features/base/participants redux state and utilize the feature's
existing read access functions. Which will allow us in the future to
enhance these functions to access participants which are relevant to the
current conference of interest to the user only.
The commit message of "Associate remote participant w/ JitsiConference
(_JOINED)" explains the motivation for this commit.
Practically, _JOINED and _LEFT combined with "Remove remote participants
who are no longer of interest" should alleviate the problem with
multiplying remote participants to an acceptable level of annoyance.
Technically though, a remote participant cannot be identified by an ID
only. The ID is (somewhat) "unique" in the context of a single
JitsiConference instance. So in order to not have to scratch our heads
over an obscure corner, racing case, it's better to always identify
remote participants by the pair id-conference. Unfortunately, that's a
bit of a high order given the existing source code. So I've implemented
the cases which are the easiest so that new source code written with
participantUpdated is more likely to identify a remote participant with
the pair id-conference.
Additionally, the commit "Reduce direct read access to the
features/base/participants redux state" brings more control back to the
functions of the feature base/participants so that one day we can (if we
choose to) do something like, for example:
If getParticipants is called with a conference, it returns the
participants from features/base/participants who are associated with the
specified conference. If no conference is specified in the function
call, then default to the conference which is the primary focus of the
app at the time of the function call. Added to the above, this should
allow us to further reduce the cases in which we're identifying remote
participants by id only and get us even closer to a more "predictable"
behavior in corner, racing cases.
The plan set in motion here is to associate remote participants with the
JitsiConference instances that created them in order to be able to
remove remote participants when a JitsiConference is no longer the
primary focus of the jitsi-meet app. And that's supposed to alleviate a
problem with multiplying remote thumbnails.
Doing all of the above in a single commit is a bit of a high order. So
I'm splitting the whole into multiple successive commits for the
purposes of observability, comprehension. Each commit is supposed to be
safe even if subsequent commits are not accepted, are reverted,
whatever. Obviously, without the successive commits, a commit may be
"unused".
One of the important pieces of the multiplying remote thumbnails "fix"
offered is removing remote participants who are no longer of interest
i.e. PARTICIPANT_LEFT. But in order for _LEFT to be implemented, _JOINED
must be implemented first.
Because a conference can fail before or after it's joined it must be
"left" in order to release any allocated resources like peerconnections,
tracks and all the other things.
- add 10px of padding on the sizes of the toolbar
- make the button margin smaller (from 10 to 7)
- increate the secondary button factor to 85%, thus rising the maximum secondary
button size to 50 (from the previous 48)
Doing so in CONFERENCE_JOINED is too late because if we are moderators that
event will come first and we won't know what ID to match it with.
This is safe because our local ID is created early.
* feat(recording): frontend logic can support live streaming and recording
Instead of either live streaming or recording, now both can live together. The
changes to facilitate such include the following:
- Killing the state storing in Recording.js. Instead state is stored in the lib
and updated in redux for labels to display the necessary state updates.
- Creating a new container, Labels, for recording labels. Previously labels were
manually created and positioned. The container can create a reasonable number
of labels and only the container itself needs to be positioned with CSS. The
VideoQualityLabel has been shoved into the container as well because it moves
along with the recording labels.
- The action for updating recording state has been modified to enable updating
an array of recording sessions to support having multiple sessions.
- Confirmation dialogs for stopping and starting a file recording session have
been created, as they previously were jquery modals opened by Recording.js.
- Toolbox.web displays live streaming and recording buttons based on
configuration instead of recording availability.
- VideoQualityLabel and RecordingLabel have been simplified to remove any
positioning logic, as the Labels container handles such.
- Previous recording state update logic has been moved into the RecordingLabel
component. Each RecordingLabel is in charge of displaying state for a
recording session. The display UX has been left alone.
- Sipgw availability is no longer broadcast so remove logic depending on its
state. Some moving around of code was necessary to get around linting errors
about the existing code being too deeply nested (even though I didn't touch
it).
* work around lib-jitsi-meet circular dependency issues
* refactor labels to use html base
* pass in translation keys to video quality label
* add video quality classnames for torture tests
* break up, rearrange recorder session update listener
* add comment about disabling startup resize animation
* rename session to sessionData
* chore(deps): update to latest lib for recording changes
Contributing all buttons in one place goes against the designs that we
set out at the beginning of the project's rewrite and that multiple of
us have been following since then.
Currently the following are implemented:
- AudioMuteButton
- HangupButton
- VideoMuteButton
In order to implement these new buttons a new abstract class was introduced,
which abstracts the ToolboxItem into a button with enough hooks so a stateful
and a stateless version of it can be created.
This patch only adds the stateful implementation of the aforementioned buttons.
This abstraction represents an action which can go anywhere in a toolbox (be
that the main toolbar or the overflow menu) and it's platform independent.
It does not depend on Redux, thus making it stateless, which facilitates its use
in stateful button implementations as well as stateless ones.
Knowledge is power, man!
The config.js cache predates the feature base/known-domains.
Technically, it's also able to recall more domains that the feature
recent-list can (because the latter limits its entries).
Knowledge is power, man!
We moved "knownDomains" from calendar-sync to base/known-domains.
However, we do have an official release in the app stores and I'd like
us to not throw away the knowledge it has acquired.
If multiple JitsiMeetView instances are created (not necessarily
existing at once), it's possible to hit a TypeError when reading the
React Component props of the currently mounted App. Anyway, in certain
places we're already protecting against that out of abundance of caution
so it makes no sense to not protect everywhere.
Make it more generic by accepting any content except of just rows with text and
icons.
In addition, rework its structure so the animation is smoother, by putting the
background overlay outside of the Modal. This way, the animation doesn't affect
the background, which won't slide down.
* fix(toolbar): make button hover bigger
* fix(toolbar): make hangup button bigger
* fix(always-on-top): make toolbar and buttons same sizes as main toolbar
* fix(toolbar): change some tooltips
* fix(toolbar): adjust side panel and filmstrip for new toolbar sizes
It seems that the external API will not send any event to let the sdk
consumer know that the conference has failed if the problem occurs at
the establishing of XMPP connection stage. That's because the config was
loaded successfully, but the conference instance does not exist yet, so
neither base/config nor base/conference will emit any failure.
Make the external API emit CONFERENCE_WILL_JOIN early on SET_ROOM action
which occurs before the XMPP connection is created. At this point we
know that config has loaded and if there's a valid conference room to
be joined. We were thinking of doing that even on CONFIG_WILL_LOAD,
but that seemed to be to risky at this point.
With this the RN component and the consumer app can share same CallKit
provider, configuration, and enable to be part of multiple listeners of
the CallKit flow events. The main driver of this is to enable the
consumer app to be able to report an incoming call to the OS before
loading the JitsiMeetView. Once the user answers the call, the app can
instantiate a JitsiMeetView, pass the CallKit call UUIID, and the Jitsi
Meet components will handle the connection and report back to CallKit
that the call has been established.
Hristo Terezov, Chris Cordle, and I/Lyubomir Marinov agreed that we'd
try to use "invite" & "invitee(s)" in Web/React's iframe API,
mobile/react-native's SDK invite API, and internally for the purposes of
consistency, ease of understanding, etc.
This can happen if there are multiple JitsiMeetView instances are active at the
same time, because there is a single bridge, which means all of them would get
the events.
Currently enterPictureInPicture action can only be dispatched when
the app is on the conference view and the enter PiP button is displayed,
so no check should be necessary.
Activity.enterPictureInPictureMode method must be invoked synchronously
on userLeaveHint callback in order to be sure that the current Activity
is still visible (does not transit to PAUSED state). Previously if the
asynchronous processing would be delayed enough for the Activity to go
into the PAUSED state it will be too late to go into the PiP mode.
To reduce the amount of motion that has to be blurred, use a canvas
to essentially set the FPS of the video background. This canvas
component is behind a temporary feature flag, as well as being able
to disable the blur, so it can be played around with on deployed
environments.
