Can't playback recordings (and thanks for THIS app in THOSE days)

Install & Config Record & stream - Jibri
#1

Howdy comunity, first of all THANK YOU!
Jitsi is playing a big role in this moment in Italy due CoronaVirus (covid-19), allowing some schools that i follow, to continue deliver training to kids

I was able to setup a functional environment but i can’t play back recorded files (error, corrupted file). Server side seems fine (no SEVERE errors in logs, tried jdk11 and 8), client side tried to open the mp4 with several tools with no luck

I’m on 18.04 (2vCPU 4GB) + jitsi stable. Any hint?
Best regards

Can you attach all the Jibri logs from the bad recording?

I think I hit the same problem:
This is what file gives

file /srv/recordings/otxfhixoifskfiug/hostilezebrasterminatehigh_2020-03-27-01-57-24.mp4

This is what ffprobe (or vlc or mpv) gives

I’ve read on some other threads that recording does not works only with java8 (didn;t try that yet, no java8 on debian buster).

#4

Yes, make sure you use java 8. We recently pushed some changes to (hopefully) support up to java 11, but we’re not running with that yet. If you still see the problem with java 8 please attach all the Jibri logs.

#5

that is what I’m trying to do … build an openjdk-8 package for debian buster.

I confirme using openjdk-8 works.
May be addin a hard dependency on openjdk-8 and provinding a package if not available (no openjdk8 for debian, had to build it from source, used this to bootstrap https://adoptopenjdk.net/installation.html?variant=openjdk8&jvmVariant=hotspot#linux-pkg) would help ?

if you running Jitsi meet/jicofo/VideoBride on same server with Jibri, you need to maintain java version

by default you can use java 11 but dont forget to install java 8 only for jibri

root@meet:~# update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

  Selection    Path                                            Priority   Status

edit like bellow:

exec /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=/etc/jitsi/jibri/logging.properties -jar /opt/jitsi/jibri/jibri.jar --config “/etc/jitsi/jibri/config.json”
