src/livekit/auth now fronts two flows. For a transport with a LiveKit SFU
`url`, tokens come from our own homeserver's MSC4195 get_token endpoint
and delayed leaves are delegated through delegate_delayed_leave, both via
the js-sdk's unstable client methods. Transports with only a
livekit_service_url keep using the OpenID flow against the JWT service.
A transport advertising both shapes lets a subscriber fall back to the
OpenID flow when the homeserver answers get_token with a 404 (Synapse
reports M_UNRECOGNIZED for unknown routes rather than M_NOT_FOUND), so a
client can still join calls hosted on servers that have not deployed
MSC4195 yet. Publishers never fall back: a homeserver that advertises a
`url` but does not implement the endpoints is misconfigured and the
admin should hear about it, so they get NoMatrix2AuthorizationService.
Delegation uses the same flow as the token so that the participant
identity the service computes matches.
The local member only probes a transport's delegate_delayed_leave
endpoint when it has a service URL. The developer settings tab validates
a custom service URL through the same facade.
A transport with only a LiveKit SFU `url` has to be authenticated through
our own homeserver, which needs to know the name of the server owning the
SFU. Carry that name alongside the transport as a TransportLocator,
derived from the member's user ID for remote transports and from the
client's domain for our own, and key the connection map on the SFU URL,
the service URL and the server name together so that `url`, service URL
and combined transport shapes are deduplicated consistently.
UnstableLivekitTransport covers every shape a homeserver may advertise
while MSC4195 evolves: a LiveKit SFU `url`, a `livekit_service_url`, or
both. Switching to it means a service URL is no longer guaranteed, so the
remaining code that relies on one checks for it explicitly: delegation
probing skips transports without one, the connection map keys transports
by whichever URL they carry, and the OpenID flow rejects transports
without a service URL until the client-server API flow lands.
createConnectionMap$ now returns the behavior of connections and their
participants directly and takes an already resolved local transport
instead of an observable of it. The CallViewModel wraps it with mapScoped
so that a new map is built, in a fresh scope, whenever the local transport
changes, and swallows local transport errors there since the local member
already surfaces them in the UI.
getLocalTransport no longer authenticates with the SFU up front and hands
the resulting config to the connection. Instead the ConnectionManager tags
the connection whose transport equals the local one as the publisher, and
every Connection fetches its own SFU config for its role.
The local member now only joins the MatrixRTC session once its connection
is authenticated, so that the LiveKit room exists before remote members
try to get a subscriber token for it. Subscribers authenticating with the
OpenID flow lack permission to create the room and would otherwise fail
without retrying, causing a cascade of leaves and rejoins at the start of
a call.
The OpenID flow moves to src/livekit/auth/openID.ts with the SFU config
types in a sibling file, takes an options object, and replaces the
MatrixRTC mode with the role we take on the transport plus the session's
slot ID instead of a hard-coded m.call#ROOM.
This changes behaviour: publishers on a livekit_service_url transport
always use the legacy /sfu/get endpoint, so that subscribers can predict
their user:device participant identity, and subscribers always use the
default /get_token endpoint. The MatrixRTC mode no longer influences which
endpoint is used.
The enum mixed our own lifecycle states with a copy of livekit-client's
connection states, and errors were smuggled through the same observable as
a separate union member. A discriminated union keeps the LiveKit state
nested under "authenticated", carries the error as data, and lets the
local member represent the time before a connection exists as an
"initializing" state instead of null.
As of the removal of 'Legacy' mode, there can no longer be a difference between the transport you advertise in your membership and the transport you publish media on, so the local transport code can be simplified considerably. For instance, the function which gets the local transport can simply return a promise rather than being reactive.
I kept the local transport as an Observable in other modules so that they could easily be tested with existing marble tests.
IMO this is where the delegation calls should have lived all along, since the leave event is part of the membership lifecycle, and we otherwise end up with an awkward hack to ignore transport updates.
Doing this now ensures that the client won't send any delegation requests if delegation is unsupported, and prepares the code for a future change in which we use the dedicated delegation endpoint from the CS API.
Since we removed the extra 'legacy' mode, meaning there's nothing simplified anymore by translating things over to a JWT service version.
(Also, simplify some things by making the mode static for the duration of a call.)
Splits the config options for the timings of a delayed leave event into two sets: one for when delegation is available (as you can relax the timings and get more stable calls this way), and another for when it's unavailable (as we must continue to gracefully downgrade even after Matrix 2.0 is fully rolled out).
This works by bluntly hitting the delegation endpoints without auth before joining to check for a 404.
toggleScreenSharing only had `.catch(logger.error)`, so a getDisplayMedia
request that hangs (element-call-rageshakes#17152: Element Desktop on
Windows, the user pressed the screen share button 14 times in 25 seconds
and the log shows nothing but the toggle lines and livekit-client's
"waiting for pending publication promise timed out") left the user with
a button that does nothing and us with no evidence of why.
Log when a toggle is requested and when it completes or fails, with the
elapsed time, so a hang is visible in the logs. Explicit failures other
than the user cancelling the picker show as a non-modal "Could not start
screen sharing" toast. Nothing is inferred from a toggle taking a long
time: the user may simply be choosing what to share.
MuteStates, CallViewModel and LocalMember reached the host through the
widget global. None of them are React components, so they take the bridge
as an explicit parameter: a constructor argument for MuteStates, a field
on CallViewModelOptions, and one on createLocalMembership$'s props.
src/state no longer refers to the widget API.
The conditionals around it mostly disappear: nullHostBridge's observables
are NEVER, so there is nothing to guard, and a request carries its own
reply rather than needing the transport and the original event.
CallViewModelWidget.test.ts drove hangup by emitting on the mocked
widget's action emitter, so it now injects a bridge instead, and checks
that the request is acknowledged.
The view models reached for getUrlParams() — and so window.location —
from deep inside the call path: CallViewModel, MediaDevices, Publisher,
LocalMember and the footer view model. An embedded Element Call has no URL
of its own, so these values have to arrive as arguments instead.
Add the relevant options to CallViewModelOptions, to the MediaDevices and
Publisher constructors, to createLocalMembership$ and enterRTCSession, and
to createCallFooterViewModel. The remaining React consumers read the
context added in the previous commit. AppViewModel now takes its audio
output options too, moving that URL read out to main.tsx, where the app
shell can act as the adapter.
The new CallViewModelOptions fields are optional, defaulting to what the
URL parameters resolve to outside widget mode; the MediaDevices and
Publisher arguments are required, so that every construction site has to
be explicit.
useTheme.test.ts mocked the UrlParams module with a factory, so it needed
updating to mock the hook rather than getUrlParams.
No functional change.
This is the mode in which we sent membership events with the 'oldest membership' transport selection algorithm, which stopped being the default back in version 0.21.0. Users will no longer be able to select this mode in developer settings, and admins will no longer be able to select legacy mode through the config either. The app will still continue to support *receiving* membership events with the 'oldest membership' transport selection algorithm from others, however.
* Add Posthog events for Call reconnect including the reason
* Expose single trackCallReconnecting() entry point on PosthogAnalytics
* Track reconnect duration and align with existing analytics pattern
* Refactor combined$ to return [connected, reason] tuple
* Update firefoxUserPrefs to allow getUserMedia and enumerateDevices on CI

The local jwt token needs to be aquired via the right endpoint. The
endpoint defines how our rtcBackendIdentity is computed. Based on us
using sticky events or state events we also need to use the right
endpoint. This cannot be done generically in the connection manager. The
jwt token now is computed in the localTransport and the resolved sfu
config is passed to the connection manager.
Add JWT endpoint version and SFU config support Pin matrix-js-sdk to a
specific commit and update dev auth image tag. Propagate SFU config and
JWT endpoint choice through local transport, ConnectionManager and
Connection; add JwtEndpointVersion enum and LocalTransportWithSFUConfig
type. Add NO_MATRIX_2 auth error and locale string, thread
rtcBackendIdentity through UI props, and include related test, CSS and
minor imports updates
