In peer.js offer generation method, the provided constraitns are only
being type checked. It needs a value check when the constraint is a
boolean.
This commit should prevent useless transceivers from being added when
explictly specifying audio/video as `false`
There's an edge case in finnicky networks where ALG-like firewalls
tamper with USE-CANDIDATE STUN packets and, consequently, bork ICE-lite
connectivity establishment. The odd part is that client-side gathering
seems to complete if intermediate STUN bindings work (before the final
USE-CANDIDATE), which may cause the peer not to generate relay
candidates == connectivity fails.
This adds the `public.kurento.gatheringTimeout` option to forcefully extend
the candidate gathering window in peers that act as offerers. The
behavior is as follows: if the flag is set (ms), the peer will wait
either the gathering completed stage or, _at most_,
public.kurento.gatheringTimeout ms before proceeding with calls chained
to setLocalDescription.
This option is disabled by default and intentionally ommited from the
base settings.yml file as to not encourage its use. Don't use it unless
you know what you're doing :).
There are still a bunch of edge cases and issues with reconnection
scenarios for video:
- Signaling socket refuses to reconnect once maxRetries expire
- Race conditions on local stream attachment: local camera wouldn't be
correctly rendered _if_ the attached stream existed _without_ video
tracks yet
- Video tracks leak on local streams when replacing them (virtual bgs)
- Completely ignoring Meteor state when trying to reconnect cameras
- Streams aren't proactively stopped when the signaling socket dies
- Outbound request queues aren't isolated by stream nor are they
flushed when a newer peer with the same ID is created
- Server originated negotiation errors won't trigger a local peer
cleanup - thus leaving dangling peers that take way too long to
reconnect
This commit fixes or improves all of the aforementioned issues, +:
- Remove unused arguments in the peer (client->SFU) 'start' request
- Prevent crashes when trying to render video-list-items without user
data (which might happen on re-connections)
Same rationale as in video-provider's commit
(34fa37ae4f092af4a5aef0cf01d96c033d97473c).
This commit does the following:
- Implement actual heartbeat checks to trigger reconnects when
necessary
- Properly catch and log WebSocket.send errors
There may be other bridges may not need to force relay traffic on
firefox as @prlanzarin pointed out. So set the default to a
configuration that works out of the box but leave other choices for the
operator.
The option is moved from kurento namespace to media next to the general
forceRelay option.
Firefox has a buggy ICE implementation and needs WebRTC media traffic to
be routed through a turn server to work reliably with mediasoup.
Use the information fetched by the STUN API to determine if the operator
has configured a turn server. If there is one force firefox to use it.
Closes#16164
When BBB is run as a single node or in a scaleout setup with a cluster
proxy in front (see https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/admin/clusterproxy.html) it
is useful to store client settings in browser localStorage instead of
sessionStorage. If localStorage is configured then the client will keep seetings
like notifications for user joining, chat etc across meetings.
It is not advisable to set the setting to `local` in a setup of multiple BBB
nodes without a cluster proxy in front of it because this would lead to
unexpected behaviour at users. The browser would store settings for each server
and for users it would look like BBB is sometimes store the settings and
sometimes not.
It adds the new setting
```yaml
public:
app:
userSettingsStorage: (session|local)
```
Currently, collection cleanup code is only run when an added event
is received from the server. Where that fails is in scenarios where
a server-side collection turns empty while an affected users is
disconnected - and then reconnects. There's no removed (or updated)
event so no cleanup code is run and you have stale data.
This commit guarantees a stale data check is run whenever a subscription
is established again. The `added` check was also maintained, although
I'm not too sure anymore it's is still needed. That may need to be
revisited.
There are some situations where previously set deviceIds (
local/session storage) may become stale. This causes an unexpected
behavior where audio is temporarily borked until the user clears their
local storage.
This issue has been seen more recently on Safari endpoints when switching
back-and-forth breakout rooms in environments running under iframes.
Also seen randomly on endpoints with virtual input devices.
This centralizes audio gUM calling into a single method that retries the
gUM procedure without pre-set deviceIds only if the initial call fails
due with an OverconstrainedError - hopefully circumventing the issue.
BBBVideoStream 'inactive' event currently does not send the
MediaStream id as the payload for handlers. This can cause theoretical
race conditions due to media stream mismatches in places where
'inactive' handling is done globally (eg video-preview).
This adds the MediaStream id to BBBVideoStream's 'inactive' event
and uses it in video-preview to avoid such race conditions.
