Jibri recording : How to hide "Fellow Jitster" user when recording is ON

#1

Hello the community,

All is in the title :slight_smile: I successfully install Jibri on my Jitsi self hosting server, recording works properly, But I would like to hide the user “Fellow Jitster” that appear when recording is in progress…
I was already be able to change its name but I would like to completly hide this “user” on the screen when recording is started…

Is it possible and if yes how can I configure this topic ?

Thanks by advance,

Vincent

By following the docs jibri uses recorder.domain.com virtual host to connect. Add that host as hiddenDomain in config.js.

Hello damencho,

I added into the file /etc/jitsi/meet/mydomain.com-config.js : hiddenDomain: ‘recorder.mydomain.com’,
(the same indiated in jibri.conf: domain = "recorder.mydomain.com

But it’s seems that not working, I always have the user Fellow Jitster when recording…
Maybe I do anything wrong ?

Do you see the setting if you go on https://yourdomain.com/config.js ?

#5

Then maybe jibri is not using the credentials and the domain to join.

#6

Yes I can see all the setting I did by browsing to this URL

#7

Check again the jibri config and the jibri logs … Check whether the user jibri is configured to use is created, check files in var lib prosody

#8

I checked but I don’t understand what could be wrong…

The
hiddenDomain: ‘recorder.mydomain.com’,
in the config file is on the “center” of the file (not on the hosts {} part) … Could it be the problem ?

Attached the jibri log.0.txt file when I do a recording, I didn’t notice anything related to the user come into the room for recording…
log.0.txt (9.7 KB)

Share your config.js and your jibri.conf.

Hello Freddie,

Here the config.js and the jibri.conf

I change my domain name by “mydomain.com” to “hide” real one :wink:

config.js : Mar 18 4:27 PM - Codeshare
jibri.js : Mar 18 4:26 PM - Codeshare

Sorry the “upload” function failed when I wanted to share this files…

#12

Why did you add it in the ‘hosts’ block in your config.js?
Move it down to, for instance, line #262, right after // liveStreamingEnabled: false,

#13

It was a “test” that doesn’t works… Yes I can remove it.

I leave the line hiddenDomain: ‘recorder.mydomain.com’, on line #1090 …
Is it important to put it on line #262 after “liveStreamingEnabled: false,” ?
Do I need to remove it on line #1090 .

I will try and let you know

Thanks Freddie

#14

I try to put this line on #262 after liveStreamingEnabled: false, and remove from line #1090 but it doesn’t works.
When I start recording I already have the User that appears (I named it “Utilisateur”)

I restart jitsi and jibri services before trying…

#15

Did you remove it from the hosts section? You can’t have it set twice.

That name must be registered as “recorder” and the user added to recorder.mydomain.com.

#16

Yes

Hum Ok I think I understand : I will try and let you know.

Thanks

#17

When I followed tuto I did a think like this :
prosodyctl register jibri auth.meet.myfirewall.org JibrisPass
prosodyctl register recorder recorder.meet.myfirewall.org RecordersPass

Do I need to add “Utilisateur” with this method ?

How can I list users already registered for the recording part ?

#18

I don’t think I really understand. Where you’re setting this user “Utilisateur”? The recorder user is specified in jibri.conf and added to recorder.mydomain.com.

grep password /var/lib/prosody/recorder*/accounts/recorder.dat
sed -n ‘/call.login/, /}/p’ /etc/jitsi/jibri/jibri.conf | grep password

Both should match.

#19

In the /usr/share/jitsi-meet/interface_config.js: DEFAULT_REMOTE_DISPLAY_NAME: ‘Utilisateur’,

Ok it just give me the password in the recorder.dat

#20

Oh, sorry - I read that as you wanting to confirm the password.
To list all users, run the following:

sudo ls -l /var/lib/ *prosody* /*/accounts/*
