etherpad and desktop streaming not working on my self-hosted jitmeet

[petervnv]

Hi,
I put these issues to the jitsi-dev list but this is probably the correct place for them.
Basically, I'm trying to figure out why desktop sharing and etherpad only seem to work for me on the meet.jit.si site and not when I try to host my own.

Is there some related code that is hosted only on meet.jit.si? That's the only thing I can think of that's different from my setup and the demo one. When hosting my own jitmeet, the etherpad button doesn't show up at all while the desktop sharing button does indeed show but does nothing when clicked.

Thanks,

Peter

I'm not the only one experiencing this issue http://lists.jitsi.org/pipermail/dev/2014-April/020686.html

Further info:

I searched the github repo for the phrase we see in the etherpad: "Welcome to this shared Jitsi Pad!"
There were no results, which leads me to believe that indeed the etherpad code is not available in jitmeet's github but is hosted at meet.jit.si. Can a dev please confirm this?

Looking at the logs from a meet.jit.si session, I do see etherpad working:

"outgoing",
"7maaxjsv2t9_1399041722544"

When using the same Chrome beta client (Version 35.0.1916.69 beta on Ubuntu 13.10) on my self-hosted site, there is no mention of etherpad at all in the logs, and desktop streaming doesn't work with either webrtc or ext in the config file.

Please keep this in the dev list.

OK, will do. But what's the criteria for future problems?
I'm not sure if this is a dev issue, some error on my part or a bug/lack of
complete documentation issue.
Anyway, I'll keep it on here and hope you or another dev can tell me if
indeed the etherpad code is available in github or only hosted at
meet.jit.si

Cheers,

Peter

We explicitly ask people to open issues when we think this is necessary. Oh and you can nudge us if your mail on the list is not getting a response for a few days :-)

• Nudge nudge *

Seriously though, I've been able to get desktop streaming working with
webRTC, but etherpad remains a problem.
I'm pretty certain that the jitmeet github is missing some key info, namely
etherpad.base in config.js (ie domain = config
.etherpad_base seems to be missing).

I presume that indeed there is an etherpad (etherpad-lite?) install in
meet.jit.si or another domain you control, which is why etherpad isn't
working for us self-hosters.
Could you please confirm this and/or share the proper etherpad setup to
have it work with jitmeet?

Thanks,

Peter

Dear Peter

How did you solve the desktop streaming issue? Could you please give me a

Any guide or walkthrough for that desktop sharing? Still cannot get it working.
