If the ID of a remote participant was the same as the ID of the local
participant (across multiple conferences), removing the remote
participant on PARTICIPANT_LEFT would remove the local participant.
Like the preceding commit "ref(base/conference): clear the 'conference'
field on WILL_LEAVE", this commit is part of the story how we are to
deal with conferences which take noticeable time to leave.
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.
Recently/as part of the work on taking into account the user defined by
JWT, the local participant (on mobile) started telling the remote
participants that he/she had the display name "me". Obviously, that's
incorrect. Do not store the default display name in redux. While it may
be argues that redux is the place for all states, base/participants and
the name property of Participant is not meant to be that display name
because that is being sent to remote participants, the default name
needs to be internationalized, etc. So it's better to not store the
default display name at this time at all because it's not used by mobile
anyway and Web already deals with remote participants who don't share
their display names.
Will override email, display name and avatar URL with the values
provided in 'context.user' structure of the JWT token.
Settings will no longer be used to retrieve local display name,
email and avatar URL. Now those values will be obtained from
the /features/base/participants Redux state.
fix(jwt/middleware): use const for default name
fix: wrong default display name on web
ref(base/participants): remove getDisplayName functions
ref(jwt): do not accept unknown user fields
* 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.
- 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
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.
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.
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.
