Yes. If you use video chat or conference sample, you have to update either Web SDK and sample files

Is there a new WCS release also required?

No. Video Chat example works with 5.2.1131 on demo server.

Hi

Before implementing on our production site we are trying to run the new API (video chat demo) on your demo site https://demo.flashphoner.com/admin/demo.html# but having issues, it is failing in publishing... please check if it is ok.

Thnx

Hello

Works now. The demo server has been restarted. Please try again.
Please note. The demo server is under load. Anyone can test any feature on this server in parallel with your tests.

Video Chat uses the same script conference.js. It works too.

Hello

Quick solution:

chown -R flashphoner:flashphoner /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/client2

Step-by-step:

1. Backup folder

/usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/client2
This folder is old Web SDK content

2. Remove folder client2 and re-create empty folder client2

3. Download and unzip Web SDK

4. Copy content of folder websdk-2.0.216 to /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/client2

5. Make sure your folder client2 has flashphoner:flashphoner access rights

6. Set flashphoner:flashphoner rights for folder client2
chown -R flashphoner:flashphoner /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/client2

7. Make sure you have flashphoner:flashphoner access rights for folder client2

ls -la /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/client2

Looks like codec issue. Try to test Media Devices example:

1. Publish stream
Media Devices

Media Devices

2. Play stream on the device where you got green video frame
Player

Player

Then do the same with stripCodecs=H264

1. Publish stream
Media Devices

Media Devices

2. Play stream

Player

Playback codec should be VP8.

H.264 may not be supported on some endpoints.
So we recommend to try VP8.

You can also change codec priority on server-side.
Changing order of codecs h264,vp8 in flashphoner.properties config
