Jirecon No Longer Works

[idcmp]

Using jitsi-meet 1.0.677, Jirecon connects and logs a stream of errors like this one:

INFO: Stream: video, RTT computation may be wrong (65536>= 65536 milliseconds): now 1448914909482, lsr 777783817, dlsr 94400

Stopping recording leaves two empty files.

I don't mind providing more information, more detailed logs or testing patches. I'm just unsure if this project is maintained anymore.

[bgrozev]

The project is not actively worked on anymore. We are trying to maintain it somewhat, but it is likely to completely brake soon (with the integration of the jitsi-meet library).

You could try setting the "advertiseSSRCsInPresence" option in config.js, but I am not sure it will solve your particular problem.

[eddiejaoude]

Oh no, I wanted this feature. Is there something else that will replace it, so we can record all calls?

[kennsippell]

Is the project fundamentally broken after the jitsi-meet library, or just needs some tweaks? If somebody who understands the codebase is willing to scope out what is required -- I can try to make the changes. Let's talk!

[eltonbor]

@kennsippell I was able to make it work again it just needed some tweaks, if you like to take a look it's forked here https://github.com/ubity/jirecon.

@eltonbor I'm curious to see your fork... but I get a 404?

[eltonbor]

@ezweave ops, sorry, I just fixed the link, check it again.

[yanas]

@eddiejaoude the jibri project (https://github.com/jitsi/jibri) is our current recording mechanism.

[ezweave]

@eltonbor working now, thanks! I got jibri running, but it is not exactly scalable amongst other things.

[roeycohen]

yanas, jibri sucks!
instead of capturing the streams to files, clients needs an entire VM to record the entire screen... it just doesn't make sense.

[yanas]

@roeycohen jirecon is open source (yayy!), so feel free to contribute patches or use the fixed version from @eltonbor. As for the jibri project, don't use it if you don't think it works for your use case. There are enough people out there that actually find it fantastic, so allow me to disagree that it sucks.

[roeycohen]

@yanas we're investigating is. and indeed we might update it.

[eltonbor]

@roeycohen and @yanas if you are interested in client side recording I did some improvements on the jidesha project, take a look at: https://github.com/ubity/jidesha/tree/ubity/chrome.

• I worked only on the Chrome version
• Recordings are browser crash safe
• Recorded video is in webm format, you couldn't seek forward or backwards (this is due a lack of CUE frames, the browser does not generate them)
• Inspiration came from: https://github.com/muaz-khan/RecordRTC
