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
Add the shrink/expand button in the screenshare layout to reduce the mirror/tunnel
effect, when the presenter is sharing the same screen as the application is.
PR #12435 was slightly different than #12430 but especially had better explanations for users.
This commit incorporates the remaining ideas from that PR.
This patch adds a new option to hide the individual answers to the presenter
when starting a poll. This includes hiding the answers for the presenter and
informing the other users that the current poll is anonymous.
See #9524
Allow listenonly users to change output devices
Fixed dynamic audio device change for firefox
Fixed shortcuts for audio join/leave
Show (with a bold font) the current selected device
[performance] Prevent calling mediaDevices.enumerateDevices every time we render
the selector. This adds a delay (~200ms, on my chrome setup) to render this component
[performance] Do not call enumerateDevices to search for new devices, instead we listen on mediaDevices.deviceChange event
Small refactoring and fixed a few errors that were being throw in browser's console
Fixed device selection when this is done in audio-settings modal
Fallback to default device when current device is removed
Truncate device name length
Renamed "Input","Output" labels to "Microphone","Speakers", respectively
Update eslint rule for accessKey
Back when Safari 11 was still a thing, there was an annoying bug where peer connectiocs COULD get stuck during it`s JSEP handshaking phase if, due to some unknown trigger, the SDP was generated BEFORE the ICE candidate gathering had run its course.
I dont believe this is the case anymore and this workaround is _very_ harmful to Safari endpoints, mainly when gathering might take a long time due to additional network interfaces or restricted network environments. So its being removed.
Ive tested this with the widest array of Safari endpoints I could get my hands on: iPhones 8-12, iPads 6-8 and Pro, macOS Safari 12-14
- Removed the connection-status history from the user list's gear
icon and now is opened by the connection-status button. Moderators will
render the same modal as before and viewers will only have access to their
own data.
- Added data-savings shortcut at the connection-status modal.
- Added websocket round-trip time.
* add button to the toolbar to switch palm rejection mode
* add a message for that new button to the locales/en
* add boolean palmRejection to state of the toolbar
* save that boolean also to the session storage, so it is ready to use it in the input handler
The underlying webkit autoplay issues were properly tackled a long time ago now; this thing isnt needed anymore
Also took the liberty to remove the whole create listen only stream thing because it`s useless
* moving locales folder to /public and applying changes needed to serve locales as static files
* better dev/prod check
* transifex pull script changes to match new locales directory + ignore locales with less than 100 lines
* fix local/prod locales path
* merge fallback messages
* applies new locale changes to legacy client
`bbb-html5.nginx` file content should also be changed to the following:
```
location /html5client/locales {
alias /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/locales;
}
location /html5client/compatibility {
alias /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/compatibility;
}
location /html5client/resources {
alias /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/resources;
}
location /html5client/svgs {
alias /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/svgs;
}
location /html5client/fonts {
alias /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/web.browser/app/fonts;
}
location /html5client {

proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
}
```
Added new SFU broker for screen sharing
Removed kurento-extension entirely
Added inbound and outbound reconnection procedures
Improve UI responsiveness when sharing
Add reconnection UI states
Redo error handling
Refactor actions-bar screen share components. Make it smarter with less prop drilling and less re-rendering. Also more readable. Still work to do in that I think
Add a connection retry procedure for screen presenters when they are sharing; try a configurable amount of times when failure is triggered, with configurable min and max reconn timeouts and timeout increase factor
Make local preview attachment smarter
ADD PARTIAL SUPPORT FOR AUDIO SHARING VIA SCREEN SHARING WITH GET DISPLAY MEDIA, RECORDING STILL NOT SUPPORTED!!!
This adds the possibility to configure the SIP Via header to plain WS to allow reverse proxying from WSS to WS, internally, to work around a bug in freeswitch where the WSS stack would get deadlocked due to a still unidentified bug in there that has to do with SSL termination
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
one of the most annoying things about breakout rooms is that the users have to do the echo test again. So they have to wait 7 to 12 seconds again (for most typical bbb configurations) just for the echo test to connect. This change reduces the iceCheckingTimeout from 5 seconds to 1 second, which is still way more than enough unless there is a configuration or network load issue. Depending on network of the used client, this change saves the user between 4 to 8 seconds for every time they activate audio playback or microphone.
The original 5 seconds timeout is not part of the official sip.js library but instead was added in #2877
This fixes a webkit quirk and should get rid of some of the screensharing/listen only problems with Safari
Also improved the extraInfo error logging in the script to log only the name instead of the whole object on browser errors
Addresses the error seen in
`"stackTrace":"TypeError: can't redefine non-configurable property \"userAgent\""`
Note, there are still definitions of `ua` in the code so ideally we need to extract this out.
