LifeSize --> Jitsi

AndreasD · January 25, 2019, 9:26am

Hi,
at the moment I am using a LifeSize-bridge and some other LifeSize-hardware videostations for a conference
Now I created a Jitsi-Meet server, but I can’t connect with this LifeSize-hardware-videostations to this Jitsi-server. Is there a software necessary (if yes, which) or what should I do to make this work?

thx
Andi

We had done that, but setting it up is not like running jus apt-get install command, it is complicated process.

github.com

jitsi/jibri/blob/master/doc/sip_gateway.md

# SIP Gateway
Currently the XMPP API is the only officially supported API, so this doc will discuss how to configure Jibri to allow SIP gateway calls via the XMPP API.

To use the SIP gateway functionality of Jibri, you'll need to set the `sip_control_muc` field in `config.json`, it can be found within the `XmppEnvironment` field.  Jibri will join this MUC to announce itself of being capable of providing SIP gateway services to Jicofo.

jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/sipgw-config.md

# Configuring sipgw jibri with jitsi-meet

This document describes how you can configure jitsi-meet to use sipgw jibri and enable rooms in 'Add people dialog'
You will need a working deployment of jibri configured to use a regular sip video device, for more info check out the [jibri documentation](https://github.com/jitsi/jibri/blob/master/README.md).

This feature is available for non-guests of the system, so this relies on setting in config.js ``enableUserRolesBasedOnToken: true`` and providing a jwt token when accessing the conference.

* Jicofo configuration:
edit /etc/jitsi/jicofo/sip-communicator.properties (or similar), set the appropriate MUC to look for the Jibri Controllers. This should be the same MUC as is referenced in jibri's config.json file. Restart Jicofo after setting this property.

```
  org.jitsi.jicofo.jibri.SIP_BREWERY=TheSipBrewery@conference.yourdomain.com
 ```

* Jitsi Meet configuration:
 - config.js: add 
```
  enableUserRolesBasedOnToken: true,
  peopleSearchQueryTypes: ['conferenceRooms'],
  peopleSearchUrl: 'https://api.yourdomain.com/testpath/searchpeople',

thx first

and how does/should this finally work? I mean if I open with jitsi meet the room “hostname/test123”… how can I connect with my lifesize (lifesize room 200) this conference? What IP/URL should i call?

damencho · January 29, 2019, 9:39am

So there is an invite option in the UI (the plus in bottom right corner), if you start typing there the name of the room you will get the room and when choosing it, its id, which will be the sip address will come to jibri and jibri will use the pjsua client to call it using sip.

AndreasD · February 4, 2019, 9:19am

for jibri… is there a dns entry necessary (for jitsi meet or jibri)?
Bcs always when I try to start a recording I get an error "Recordingunvailable - Oops! The Recording service is currently unvailable. We’re working on resolve the issue. Please try again later.
Or what could be the problem?

Maybe jicofo does not see any reocrders. Check jibri and jicofo logs.

AndreasD · February 4, 2019, 11:46am

Is there something false?

damencho · February 4, 2019, 12:01pm

No, I don’t see anything for the moment

damencho · February 4, 2019, 12:02pm

But logs describe the situation, more than looking at the config …

AndreasD · February 5, 2019, 10:11am

jicofo.log (27.2 KB)

my jibri logfolder is empty

damencho · February 7, 2019, 12:26pm

Is your jibri running? You uploaded a log snippet, which doesn’t say much. You need to check the log file from starting jicofo, do you see that it detects a jibri. But as you say jibri has no logs, I suppose it is not running for some reason, and neither jicofo and neither you can use it. Check why jibri is not running.

What is the java version you use to run it? Make sure it is java8.

any other tipps???

damencho · February 12, 2019, 12:40pm

I just tried guessing from the part of the logs that you had shown. Find and paste the whole jibri log file, so we can see the error from the beginning.

where should the log file be?

damencho · February 12, 2019, 1:23pm

Try using journalctl -u jibri to extract it.
