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.
There is more avatar work coming down the line for mobile,
which should also affect web, assuming the same getAvatarURL
helper will be used. As such, instead of continuing to
support the initials service and tweaking UI, revert to
make way for the future avatar work.
This reverts commit 2ea5ad68a5.
* ref(avatars): remove Avatar.js
- Rely on redux getting updated with new participant state
and any calls to getAvatarURL passing in the redux
participant state. This way the state within Avatar.js can
be removed.
- Clean up methods on UI.js. Because all state is in the
store, separate methods for updating the avatar aren't as
necessary. Instead centralize accessing of the avatar for
components outside of redux and centralize the call to
update avatars for non-react components.
- Controversial: cache a participant's avatarURL on the
participant state. Currently the participant's avatarURL
that is generated without jwt (which sets the avatarURL directly)
is not cached. Without cache, there can be many redundant
calls to APP.API.notifyAvatarChanged.
* Leverage middleware timing to diff avatars
One alternative implementation is to leverage middleware's
ability to intercept updates before and after redux has
upated and then compare avatarURLs.
* kill UI.getAvatarUrl
* profile button sets its own avatar url (solves update timing)
* remove calls to updating avatar outside of middleware
* update UI.js doc
* remove left over logic from initial implementation
* try to move local user fallback into selector func
* default to id 'local' in selector
The video will switch to the avatar and be tinted with gray. On the large view,
a text message indicating the user has connectivity issues will be shown.
- Remove references to the model ContactList.
- Replace ContactListView with an empty element for attaching
the React Component ContactListPanel, which has the same
features as the old ContactListView.
- Create new selector for getting non-fake participants for
ContactListPanel's props.
- Create a ParticipantCounter component to place in the contact
list button. Previously ContactListView updated that but now
it's a react component hooked into the participant state.
- Remove pub/sub that was used only by ContactListView.
- Re-use the native redux pinning implementation for web
- Remove pinning logic from conference.js
- To the native pinning add a check for sharedVideo so
youtube videos do not send a pin event
- Add shared videos as a participant to enable pinning and
so they can eventually get added to the filmstrip
- Emit UIEvents.PINNED_ENDPOINT from middleware
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.
