Difficulty getting Jitsi and Jibri working

Install & Config
#1

I have attempted to get jitsi and jibri to work across several installations and servers but I always end up with the same issue.

I never see more than this in the jibri.log:
2020-12-17 16:11:27.079 INFO: [1] org.jitsi.jibri.Main.handleCommandLineArgs() Jibri run with args [–config, /etc/jitsi/jibri/config.json]

And I never get past this in jicofo log:
SEVERE: [29] org.jitsi.jicofo.recording.jibri.JibriSession.log() Unable to find an available Jibri, can’t start

I have gone over many threads where people face a similar issue but none of their solutions work for my setup.

I have followed the quick setup guide and wiki docs but I have been unable to get past this issue. When I try to click “Start recording” I get an immediate “recording unavailable”. My x log does not show any errors. I never see any connection attempts to launch/use jibri.

I have tried multiple setups but the current setup is 2 VMware virtual machines running Ubuntu 16.04. I have jitsi, jicofo, prosody, etc on 1 VM, and Jibri on another. 4 vcores 8gb each.

Any help is appreciated!

Can you share your jibri.conf file?

Looks like you copied information from a config.json into your jibri.conf. The fields are slightly different, so they’re not being read. Take a look at this Tutorial - especially the jibri.conf part under the Troubleshooting section. Use the information there to correct your jibri.conf.

TUTORIAL: Jibri Overview, Troubleshooting Tips & Tricks - Solve your Jibri Problems, Quickly!

#5

I have not copied anything from a config.json, just copy paste from the current documentation such as it is. The config comes from here: https://github.com/jitsi/jibri/blob/master/src/main/resources/reference.conf
which is the only documentation I found for jibri.conf. That url is the same one referenced in the “tutorial” link you have posted.

I have followed the steps at your link but that has not helped at all.

#6

That’s not from the example in the referenced Tutorial. Like I mentioned before, the fields are different. But hey… :man_shrugging:t5:

#7

Your xmpp environment section is not setup correctly. You have:

jibri {
    "xmpp_environments": [
    ]
}

But look at reference.conf for how it needs to be defined. You can look here for what the environment config themselves should be.

Ok I think I see now thank you for the clarification.

No love yet but I’m not giving up:)
