Remove parts of a previous connection monitor.
To add some context (as far as my memory goes) to the multiple connection
monitor features the product has, `stats` (currently named `connection status`)
was introduced at the Flash client back in ~2016. @fcecagno and I did it
as a BigBlueButton's Summit activity. Our work was squashed into a single
commit in 92554f8b3e :).
I'm not sure about the whole story behind `network information` (the late
connection monitor added to the HTML5 client) but I assume it should work
as a collector for a bunch of different connectivity monitors. I remember
when it was introduced but I don't know why it wasn't adopted. My best guess
would be because of some performance issues the `user list` had back then.
To follow on why `connection status` replaced `network information` at the
HTML5 client, when I did the `multiple webcams` feature I had to refactor
a big chunk of the `video provider` (#8374). Something that wasn't really
helping there was the adaptation of `stats` that was made to show local
feedback for each webcam connection. Although this feature wasn't being
used anymore, `network information` did rely on that to build up data. With
this monitor gone I assumed it was my responsibility to provide an alternative
so I promoted Mconf's port of the Flash `stats` monitor to BigBlueButton's
HTML5 client (#8579).
Well, that's my perspective on how things went for those features. If
anyone would like to correct me on something or add something else on
that history I would appreciate to know.
Add the `camera` icon in the user list for whoever is sharing,
in order to improve the understanding of who is sharing the webcam.
It is possible to enable/disable this indication in the settings.yml
This allows showing (or hiding) the option from users in the conference.
Default value is true (show this option to users).
Fixed some eslint warnings.
When listenOnlyMode=false, skipCheck=true and skipCheckOnJoin=true, the
audio tries to start a session more than one time, causing it to fail
at the first one (and reconnect after that).
Now we check if user is already connecting before trying to start a new
audio session.
Added some info in settings.yml for the options related to this commit
Closes#12190
This introduces initial translations for the guest-wait pages.
The only supported languages are en and de for now. Needs a concept
to hook it up with transifex.
Set paginationSorting to VOICE_ACTIVITY_LOCAL by default (audio floors -> alphabetical -> local stream).
Rationale: a more sensible default mode for pagination that actually works a bit better for the end user than
the previous mode (presenter -> alphabetical). Should reduce the need for page switching by focusing on
the ones that are actually active in the conference.
Video streams can be sorted by voice floor activity in the client according to FreeSWITCH´s floor events. The feature works together with pagination, essentially giving an Last-N like experience while not disrupting too much
Made video stream sorting extensible in a way. The sorting modes for pagination and unbounded can be configured in settings.yml and new sorting modes can be added to the stream sorting util under video-provider. Inline docs explain how to do that
Changed how the stream ID attribute from video-streams collection was passed to downstream components; we had an array map that was executed every change just to map stream to cameraId, which is bizarre. So I changed the cameraId usage in downstream components to be conformat with the collection attributes and shaved off the map where it wasnt needed
Add better selectors to video-list-item container´s VoiceUser fetch
