Recording goes for like 30 seconds - 1 minute then stops with just saying "Recording has stopped"

Install & Config Record & stream - Jibri
#1

When trying to record in Jibri I wait a long time for it to “initiate” but all I get is that it’s preparing and after 30 seconds - 5 minutes I hear “Recording has stopped” could anyone explain to me what is happening
?
Here are the logs:

log.0.txt (1.2 MB) browser.0.txt (2.3 MB) ffmpeg.0.txt (97.1 KB)

#2

Does Jibri have access to the recording folder?
Also, check permissions for /tmp/chromedriver.log - make sure Jibri can write to it.

#3

yes

chromedriver.log (47.0 KB)

#4

what’s the result of this command:

ls -l /tmp

You used an installer to install Jitsi?

#7

initially, but it screwed it up and I didn’t know how to remove it - emrah-tools/jitsi-buster-installer at main · emrahcom/emrah-tools · GitHub

#8

It looks like Jibri is being told to stop by Jicofo. Can you attach Jicofo logs?

#9

sure
jicofo.log (533.7 KB)

#10

Are those the right Jicofo logs (from when the issue happened)? I don’t see any instances of jibri in that file.

#11

these are the right ones: jicofo.log (289.6 KB)

#12

Hello @Derek_Owumi,

I can check your server and why my installer didn’t work correctly if you can give me SSH access

#13

are you on matrix?

#14

yes

Hm, so Jibri sends a pending response

2021-02-02 05:43:53.645 INFO: [18643] org.jitsi.jibri.api.xmpp.XmppApi.handleStartJibriIq() Sending 'pending' response to start IQ

And Jicofo receives it:

Jicofo 2021-02-02 05:43:53.646 INFO: [636] org.jitsi.jicofo.recording.jibri.JibriSession.log() Got Jibri status update: Jibri jibribrewery@internal.auth.my.domain.com/jibri-nickname has status pending and failure reason null, current Jibri jid is jibribrewery@internal.auth.my.domain.com/jibri-nickname

But then Jicofo complains about a timeout waiting for the pending response:

Jicofo 2021-02-02 05:45:23.458 SEVERE: [150] org.jitsi.jicofo.recording.jibri.JibriSession.log() Jibri pending timeout! upsetsurvivalsreinforcetotally@conference.my.domain.com

What versions of Jicofo and Jibri are you using?

#17

I belive this is the latest, but how do I check

#18

I once had the same Problem and solved it by downgrading the JAVA Version. Sorry, forgot about the Version Numbers.

#19

I’ve seen this behavior when alone in a room.
Whenever someone else join and start the meeting this is no longer an issue.

Could that be you case @Derek_Owumi ?

#20

I sent you a message on matrix just upgraded to 20.04
