Shall we do a teleconf on Wednesday 10 December, 4pm Berlin time? It’s 5 days before the spec update, so maybe a good time for a heads-up.
https://github.com/remotestorage/spec/releases/tag/04-rc5 is the latest release candidate for 04, which would become the ‘new’ spec, and should not be used yet, so clients have 6 months starting 15 December to add support for it (I think for rs.js this only means changing the IMPLIED_FAKE_TOKEN code).
03 will become the ‘live’ spec which providers should start switching to, and 02 will become the new ‘old’ spec, so every server older than 02 should be upgraded before 15 December, and then upgrade to 03 after 15 December. Upgrading straight to 03 on 15 December would also work, I guess.
Also, every app that doesn’t support 03 yet should be upgraded to the latest rs.js before 15 December.
Nick had trouble with CPU load, so we ended up all disabling video. I also used it 3 times for one-to-one calls since you mentioned it, and there the audio stayed good, even though the video did build up a lot of lag. Also during this call, I could sometimes hear Basti talk, and see his mouth move 3 seconds later. Otherwise, it seems to be better than some Talky calls I had a few months ago.
https://jitsi.org/Projects/JitsiVideobridge looks interesting, it makes a lot of sense that with a video bridge you have a lot less bandwidth needs. For 5 people like we had yesterday, full mesh would mean the person talking has 4 full-screen outgoing streams, whereas with a bridge the speaker only needs 1 full-screen outgoing stream. For the listeners it would not make much difference I guess, you still receive one full-screen stream plus 3 thumbnail streams, and send your own thumbnail stream.
