Probably you have multiple issues, not just one…

Do you have AWS kernel? It doesn’t support snd_aloop module.
Do you enable authentication for prosody? Which one?
Is jibri a seperate instance or on the same machine?

Do you have AWS kernel? It doesn’t support snd_aloop module.
No,I dont. Do I need to do that setup.
I see when i run this command “modprobe snd-aloop”

Do you enable authentication for prosody ? Which one?
No, I didnt setup any authentication in Prosody. All I did install jibri after installing Jitsi.

Is jibri a seperate instance or on the same machine?
Both are on same machine.

So you do have an AWS kernel - it says the modules for the running kernel are 5.15.0-1031-aws, this is AWS-supplied kernel, which doesn’t include snd_aloop.

You need to change this kernel to a generic one from your distribution (Ubuntu), reboot the server and load the module. You can add ‘snd-aloop’ to /etc/modules so that it gets automatically loaded on boot.

I made changes to make my kernel to generic based on reference’s link

No "Start Live Stream" option and cannot install module snd-aloop

I've followed the install instructions https://github.com/jitsi/jibri#installing…-jibri on xenial: ``` sam@AVJitsyServer:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial ``` and I have two problems: 1) the "Start Live Stream" option does not show up 2) I was unable to install the snd-aloop module I was hoping that adding the following to the jitsi config: ``` // Recording // Whether to enable recording or not. enableRecording: true, // Type for recording: one of jibri or jirecon. recordingType: 'jibri', // Misc hiddenDomain: 'recorder.www.jitsi.agileventures.org', ``` would at least allow me to see the "Start Live Stream" button in our jitsi's but not so far ... Other changes to the config file such as disabling screenshare have an immediate effect when the jitsi interface is reloaded, but not `enableRecording` ... I did ultimately manage to complete every other part of the jibri set up with the exception of installing the snd-aloop module: ``` sam@AVJitsyServer:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-virtual ... successful install sam@AVJitsyServer:~$ modprobe snd-aloop modprobe: FATAL: Module snd-aloop not found in directory /lib/modules/4.13.0-1011-azure ``` I found a [post](https://askubuntu.com/a/896004/611309) that suggested installing linux-generic, but that didn't help either: ``` sam@AVJitsyServer:~$ sudo apt install linux-generic ... successful install sam@AVJitsyServer:~$ modinfo snd-aloop modinfo: ERROR: Module snd-aloop not found. ``` I also reviewed the community mailing lists, but while I found lots of posts on problems setting up jibri. e.g. https://community.jitsi.org/t/jitsi-users-jibri/13827/5, I didn't find any for these two particular ones of the "start live stream" button not showing up at all, and the inability to install snd-aloop. Here's our current jibri config: https://gist.github.com/tansaku/7630dfc7bbcdd38da5dd498a52c76b9d Here's a tail of the latest jibri logs: https://gist.github.com/tansaku/90a8884b88160c30f0fe9ce29c9e98b8 I'm very happy to provide other logs and configs if that will help. Many thanks in advance

When recording started I see user getting joined .Upon checking the log I see below error.
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program “/path/to/finalize”: error=2, No such file or directory

Jibri : log.0.txt

edit your jibri config file and put a path to the finalize script - replace /path/to/finalize with a real script
this file deals with the finished recording, it can upload it somewhere, rename it, check it, etc.
for testing purpose it can be the default example one: jibri/finalize_recording.sh at master · jitsi/jibri · GitHub
you can alter and enhance it afterwards, if you wish

bhargavm60 · March 20, 2023, 4:15am

Ok. I can see recoding getting saved as expected. I will check finalize script for enhancements.

Thank you for the Help in resolve the issue.
