The lib will accept new style constraints and use those
to capture audio/video. By defining the constraints in
config, there is greater flexibility for defining
and changing constraints.
* Javadoc introduced @code as a replacement of <code> and <tt> which is
better aligned with other javadoc tags such as @link. Use it in the
Java source code. If we switch to Kotlin, then we'll definitely use
Markdown.
* There are more uses of @code in the JavaScript source code than <tt>
so use @code for the sake of consistency. Eventually, I'd rather we
switch to Markdown because it's easier on my eyes.
* Xcode is plain confused by @code and @link. The Internet says that
Xcode supports the backquote character to denote the beginning and end
of a string of characters which should be formatted for display as
code but it doesn't work for me. <tt> is not rendered at all. So use
the backquote which is rendered itself. Hopefully, if we switch to
Markdown, then it'll be common between JavaScript and Objective-C
source code.
When do we need tracks?
- Welcome page (only the video track)
- Conference (depends if starting with audio / video muted is requested)
When do we need to destroy the tracks?
- When we are not in a conference and there is no welcome page
In order to accommodate all the above use cases, a new component is introduced:
BlankWelcomePage. Its purpose is to take the place of the welcome page when it
is disabled. When this component is mounted local tracks are destroyed.
Analogously, a video track is created when the (real) welcome page is created,
and all the desired tracks are created then the Conference component is created.
What are desired tracks? These are the tracks we'd like to use for the
conference that is about to happen. By default both audio and video are desired.
It's possible, however, the user requested to start the call with no
video/audio, in which case it's muted in base/media and a track is not created.
The first time the app starts (with the welcome page) it will request permission
for video only, since there is no need for audio in the welcome page. Later,
when a conference is joined permission for audio will be requested when an audio
track is to be created. The audio track is not destroyed when the conference
ends. Yours truly thinks this is not needed since it's a stopped track which is
not using system resources.
* ref: video muted state
Get rid of 'videoMuted' flag in conference.js
* ref: audio muted state
Get rid of 'audioMuted' flag in conference.js
* fix(conference.js|API): early audio/video muted updates
* ref(conference.js): rename isVideoMuted
Rename isVideoMuted to isLocalVideoMuted to be consistent with
isLocalAudioMuted.
* doc|style(conference.js): comments and space after if
* ref: move 'setTrackMuted' to functions

Simplify the code by using a bitfied instead of a couple of boolean flags. This
allows us to mute the video from multiple places and only make the unmute
effective once they have all unmuted.
Alas, this cannot be applied to the web without a massive refactor, because it
uses the track muted state as the source of truth instead of the media state.
Because on web video track is stored both in redux and in 'localVideo'
field, video is attempted to be unmuted twice when turning off the audio
only mode. This will crash the app with 'unmute operation is already in
progress'. This commit will prevent from taking action from the web
world if the video track already exists and will make the redux side
rollback unmuted status in case unmute fails.
The end goal of this patch was to avoid opening the camera when there is no
welcome page.
In order to achieve this, the logic for creating the local tracks was
refactored:
Before this patch local tracks were created when lib-jitsi-meet was initialized,
and destroyed when it was deinitialized. As a side note, this meant that when a
conference in a non-default domain was joined, local tracks were destroyed and
recreated in quick succession.
Now, local trans are created and destroyed based on what the next route will be,
and this happens when the target room has been decided. This allows us to create
local tracks the moment we need to render any route, and destroy them when there
is no route to be rendered. As an interesting byproduct, this refactor also
avoids the destruction + recreation of local tracks when a conference in a
non-default domain was left.
Listeners were set for when a track muted or changed its video
type, but the listeners were never removed. This would could
cause events to keep firing on the removed tracks, which would
cause redux to fire and error because the tracks were no longer
known. That the tracks still fire events after removal is
another issue...
- Add tracks to the redux store by intercepting where the
tracks actually get used via conference.replaceTrack
- While the replace call is unique to web, the _dispose and
_addTracks calls use existing native code implementations
- Between _dispose and addTracks is a call to update mute state.
Without it, when changing devices or videoType while muted,
the user will stay muted (whereas existing web behavior
causes unmute). This is due to middelware calling
_syncTrackMutedState to make the track mute if the user is
currently muted.
- Move the rest of ConferenceEvents.TRACK_MUTE_CHANGED into
middleware so the event is no longer used
- Note: This change does not guarantee the track state in the
redux store will be 100% accurate, specifically the attribute
videoStarted. Muted and videoType should be accurate.
- Use actions trackAdded and trackRemoved to add and remove remote
tracks from the redux store
- Emit out to non-react components on track added and removed in
the track middleware
- Emit out to existing non-react components on track mute and
video type changes
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
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.

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.
The toolbar's mute buttons depict respective features/base/media states.
However, (un)muting is practically carried out by features/base/tracks.
When the mobile app enters a conference configured to invite the joining
participant to mute themselves, the tracks would be muted but the
toolbar's mute buttons would not reflect that.
An error was discovered and fixed by GitHub user blackneck in
jitsi/jitsi-meet PR #1017. The faulty source code was a piece of
duplication though. Remove the source code duplication there to reduce
the risks of bugs.
As an intermediate step on the path to merging jitsi-meet and
jitsi-meet-react, import the whole source code of jitsi-meet-react as it
stands at
2f23d98424
i.e. the lastest master at the time of this import. No modifications are
applied to the imported source code in order to preserve a complete
snapshot of it in the repository of jitsi-meet and, thus, facilitate
comparison later on. Consequently, the source code of jitsi-meet and/or
jitsi-meet-react may not work. For example, jitsi-meet's jshint may be
unable to parse jitsi-meet-react's source code.
