This patch includes two improvements made for bbb-web. It tries to better isolate
the sessionToken's handling and session's validation, including logs for each one of
these steps; and removes maxParticipats control from registered users (that are no
longer removed from bbb-web collections) binding it to joined users or users that
reached the enter API call. The following adds more details about this last one:
User's regular flow to join a meeting goes around an API join call -> redis register event ->
redirect to client page -> API enter call -> redis join event. When the guest policy is ASK_MODERATOR,
non-moderators are registered and redirected to a guest lobby that polls for her/his guest status and
only enters the meeting after a moderator approval.
Using registered users as control to check how many participants are in a meeting is problematic because
non-approved guests are counted as participants and bbb-web has to find out when to ditch registered users
records to make a seat in a meeting available again. In other words, a meeting with maxParicipants
of 5 can get it's joins locked with a moderator and 4 waiting guests or bbb-web can wrongly drop a registered
user record on a reconnection inducing weird 401 responses from the API.
This change proposes to control maxParticipants both at join and enter API calls monitoring the number
of redis joined users. This also includes an extra buffer to capture users that called the enter API but
still don't have an user joined event.
User left events are now handled different holding the user data before removing from the joined users collection
and only releasing after verifying that the user didn't reconnected.
Both user left timeout `usersTimeout` and entered user timeout `enteredUsersTimeout` can be configured at properties.
Current sessionDescriptionHandlerModifiers of SIP.js acts before ICE gathering is done. This means we are not able to modify/strip candidates in local SDP.
This modifier acts on local SDP, by allowing user to modify SDP before it is sent on INVITE message.
This considerably changes the way we process audio signaling and start audio elements in user's browser.
We now avoid using AudioContext element for both microphone and listenonly calls, once it is unstable for some iOS devices (cracky audio, user stops hearing audio after a while).
Increased default value for listenOnlyCallTimeout: this avoids activating FreeSWITCH's fallback when ICE negotiation takes longer than 15sec (tested on DO).
Increased listenonly logs.
This fixes#8133#10388
The indexes returned in recording events from BBB refer to positions
within a UTF-16 encoded string. Rather than attempt to untangle this in
the server (which might have a performance cost), it's easier to switch
the caption processing code to operate in UTF-16 encoding as well to
make it work consistently.
The PyICU library provides a UnicodeString type which is a UTF-16 string
similar to Java and JavaScript, but which supports all the python
indexing methods. It's fairly straightforwards to swap it in in place of
the types used previously, and works natively as an input to the ICU
line break iterator too.
Fixes#10531
The previous implementation of the BigBlueButton.execute method runs the
process with separate stdout and stderr streams. It first reads all of
the output from stdout, then reads all of the output from stderr.
This can cause a deadlock if the process writes a lot of data to stderr.
The IO buffer for stderr could fill, blocking progress. But since it
hasn't closed stdout, the ruby script is still waiting on a read to
stdout.
Switch to an execution method (using IO.popen) that allows combining
stdout and stderr into a single stream, eliminating the issue.
If an ejected user tries to enter in the meeting using the current url
html5 client keep trying to validate that user, but without success
causing a validateAuthToken message spam until the connection times out.
