The Igniterealtime community and Jitsi.org is proud to release the Jitsi Videobridge plugin for Openfire version 1.3.0 with Openfire 3.9.2. The new version has the latest code from the Jitsi project, fixes a number of issues and implements some requests made from the community
New Features
New layout and improvements to user experience of ofmeet and jitmeet.
Username and password protection for the web conferencing applications (ofmeet, jitmeet and candy)
Support for audio only participants (no webcam).
Conferencing recording for audio and video separately. Each conference has a single audio recording and a video recording for each participant. Video recording is only available for Windows. Support for video recording on other platforms will be available on a later release.
Telephone users can join or be invited to the conference as audio only participants
PDF Presentations can be shared and driven by the presenter.
Fixes, Improvements
Ofmeet and jitmeet are now auto-configured. Install plugin, restart openfire and go to app home page. You can even use an IP address. Removed config.js. It auto-detects the websockets plugin and uses it when available.
Screenshare has been improved. Publish.js is no more needed for ofmeet and jitmeet
The candy web application has not been touched. It should still work, but could have issues.
There is an experimental fastpath with video application which uses candy for the agent and some javascript you can add to your web site. Not tested and could have issues.
There are no user or admin guides. There are also no tutorials or “how to use” videos or blogs. There is a good document by bakko to get most users started, but needs an update.
How to use
Make sure:
you are using Google Chrome as your web browser
you have a webcam or at least a sound device installed and ready for use for each user
you have opened ports 50000 - 60000 (or whatever you configured) on your openfire server
You will need Google Chrome as your default browser to use the Spark plugin
Finally,
Although jitmeet (Jitsi Meet) and ofmeet (Openfire Meetings) look similar, they are different underneath and are heading in different directions.
Jitsi Meet is for generic XMPP servers and aimed at public internet facing conferencing using services like prezi.org and etherpad.org while Openfire Meetings is for private in-house conferencing where all collaboration applications are integrated into Openfire. For example, Ofmeet uses a PDF viewer which supports in-house corporate powerpoint presentations, while Jitmeet uses prezi.org.
All the source code is now out there on GitHub. Go to Jitsi.org and Igniterealtime.org and start to making improvements

i just deployed it on my of 3.9.3 but the ofmeet ap (on chrome browser) does not turn on the video, same thing on jitsi.
Furthermore it seems not to go on a casual room as it sould do as far as i know (I do also have a vanilla jitmeet deploy on an another server that use the same xmpp server).
resolved the missing video issue, it was the settings placed in the ICE Server field that blocked video.
Furthermore without ICE i cannot do a conference between two clients placed on different networks (seems the bridge do not work in this situation).
I do have jinglenodes and websocket plugins (the firts works I tested it using a connection like the one is not working now with 2 jitsi clients and the jinglenodes channel rises up), do you have any idea on what could be the reason?
As I told you the vanilla jitmeet on another server using the same components of the plugin works fine.
Hello. Tell me what is the difference OfMeet from JitMeet. And more interested in how to make a video bridge with a speaker and as a conference call with several. May be you need to make two separate buttons in the interface Spark for this?
I have the latest version of Openfire running with FreePBX sip server(on the same system).
With the latest Jitsivideobridge plugin, I cannot get the SIP registratio to work,
Although I have changed everything,registry server, user extension etc, the settings do not seem to work.
From the Asterisk log I can see all the time that jitsi tries to register with admin (at) IP address.
I cannot find any file to change the settings at least manually.It will continue to try to register with the Asterisk with admin(at) the IP running the server.
