Excuse me if this goes away from the actual topic now ;):
For me itâs sometimes difficult to decide if I should use âsupport/apps/âŚâ or âapps/âŚâ.
For the spreed app I recently used âapps/âŚâ, because generally WebRTC with spreed.me app including turn server is working fine on my system and as spreed app is new, there might be some polishing necessary.
Also looking onto the threads inside this two categories, there seems to be much overlap at the moment. Sometimes itâs not easy to decide if you need help, because you did something wrong (support), or because there is a bug ;).
But to have one subcategory for every single app seems reasonable for me, so you exactly know where to put your topic if something went wrong while using this specific app. If the problem is coming from the app itself, from shared resources, nextcloud or even the underlying server environment is part of the analysis and of course should lead in case to a correct forwarding as fast as found out.
Using nc10, I installed the âSpreed WebRTCâ docker image and then the Spreed.ME app for nc10.
Now that I read nc11 integrates the Spreed* app and doesnât need the old stuff / seperate server anymore, I want to get rid of (uninstall correctly and completely) that stuff mentioned above, before upgrading to nc11. How do I do that?
I donât use docker, so canât help you with that. But I would suggest to keep the âoldâ spreed installation, because the new app does not yet have all itâs features (chat, screen sharing, file transfer, âŚ) and will maybe never have (just guess). Of course if you just need the video call itself, the new app is easy and seems to work fine for most users (excluding me so far sadly).
I suggest you keep the old app+server, upgrade nc, try the new app if it works fine for you and just in this case remove the old app+server afterwards. There is no deeper connection between spreed.me and nextcloud that leads to an advantage of removing it first. Or is there somehow something different when using docker?
hey i installed the video calls application on my hosted server but it doesnât seem to be working with the shared link option. Everything seems to be fine. The page is loading normal (i tried it with the official next cloud demo everything worked there). But when i share a link for a public call it just doesnât connect. On both both devices the site is looking normal but it says waiting for participant. What can i do? Like I mentioned the demo of nextcloud is working fine.
Did you try it with a different webrtc server? Both browsers support webrtc, allow camera, micro and notifications? Also I am not sure how the app behaves if p2p fails because STUN or TURN server is required. So also try it in you local network first, before over internet.
âŹ: Ah shared host, forget about the local network thing . So did you try to configure some STUN or TURN server?
yes both browsers support all the things they need. and it just doesnât connect just saying: Waiting for to join the call. I also see next to the chain that there are 2 users it tells me: You,1 guest . To be honest i donât quite know what a stun server is. But the hosting service i am using is called uberspace.
A STUN server is most likely needed or the clients are sitting behind a NAS to provide the local network IP. There is a free usable one from nextcloud but I am not sure about the URL or if itâs already predefined in admin panel / advanced settings. Otherwise there is also one from spreed: stun:stun.spreed.me:443
âŹ: Ah, the one from nextcloud is: stun.nextcloud.com:443
A TURN server is for some NAS setups necessary instead, if STUN is not yet enough. It changes from p2p to a server in-between connection. So all the traffic is going through the TURN server then. You could ask your web host, if he provides one.
I think itâs not possible because itâs on a shared host. But yes, generally I would install it by myself on the nextcloud server system, which is quite easy.
Hi, I have the same issue as Hans-Peter: Both peers just say they are waiting for the other. I face this with both calls to users and to guests.
The STUN server is (default): stun.nextcloud.com:443, Nextcloud 11.0.3 is hosted on a shared server (installed with Plesk).
As I am not the most skilled admin: any ideas?
Same answer is valid: Try it with a TURN server. I donât know how much is possible with Plesk. Either install coturn with it or ask your server admin, if there is already an active TURN server for webrtc available.
I am having a trouble with using Edge for a browser.
The local video is there. When I connect with 2 firefox browers it is fine.
With Edge on either end or both, they try to connect but never finish the connection end with a black screen on the firefox system and a white "waiting for user " on the Edge side.
I have not tried Crome yet as it too evil.
. So did you try to configure some STUN or TURN server?
