Openfire

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 ... [More] 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 Improved the plugin admin web page. Known issues 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 OfMeet To run the ofmeet video conference application, point your browser at https://your_server:7443/jitsi/apps/ofmeet Candy To run the Candy web application with multi-user video, point your browser at https://your_server:7443/jitsi/apps/candy Spark To download the Spark plugin, point your browser at https://your_server:7443/jitsi/apps/spark/jitsivideobridge-plugin.jar JitMeet To run the jitmeet video conference application, point your browser at https://your_server:7443/jitsi/apps/jitmeet 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 [Less]

The Igniterealtime Community is pleased to announce that the release of Openfire version 3.9.2 is available for download!    Openfire is a real time collaboration (RTC) server licensed under the Open Source Apache license. It uses the only widely ... [More] adopted open protocol for instant messaging, XMPP (also called Jabber). Openfire is incredibly easy to setup and administer, but offers rock-solid security and performance.   This release contains a large number of fixes (70 Jira issues resolved) aimed at increasing stability, security and XMPP standards compliance.  A full changelog can be found here.  Some of the highlights of this release are:   [ OF-103] - [MUC] Allow nicknames to be used more than once in the same room by a single user [ OF-114] - Clearing cache can lock up MUC [ OF-455] - Some unicode pattern in status message can break the session connection [ OF-669] - Visually failed first login to Admin Console [ OF-714] - Add ability to encrypt properties so they are encrypted in the db and do not appear in the admin console. [ OF-745] - Use TLS-dialback even if that mechanism is not advertised [ OF-757] - Allow s2s message of subdomain of XMPP domain when no components are found [ OF-569] - Add deluser adhoc command [ OF-764] - Group chat history (MUC) should match configuration after server restart [ OF-771] - MUC service should flush recent history before shutting down [ OF-125] - Restrict discovery of rooms based on users membership [ OF-297] - fix: mutual roster deletion problem [ OF-770] - CVE-2014-2741 Uncontrolled Resource Consumption with XMPP-Layer Compression [ OF-722] - Openfire should save XEP-0184 delivery receipts as offline message [ OF-758] - Add support for XEP-0280 "Message Carbons"     This is the first release of Openfire after our migration of code development to Github.  We'd encourage interested developers to fork Openfire and send pull requests!  It is best for you to create a dedicated branch on your fork to submit the eventual pull request from.

The Jitsi project have just announced that Jitsi Videobridge is now compatible with WebRTC and can be used as a central relaying point for web video conferences (or web+Jitsi). You can check out shot of a first prototype here. A big thank you to ... [More] Emil Ivov,  Philipp Hancke (estos.de) and Lyubomir Marinov (jitsi.org) for making this happen and sharing it with the rest of us   I was keen to see this in action with Openfire as Jitsi Videobridge works fine as an Openfire plugin and it will add the much needed and anticipated video streams forwarding/relaying feature to WebRTC applications as Red5 does to Flash Player. I copied all the required files to my Openfire server, made some minor adjustments for Openfire and as you can see below, it works!!   However it is early days. This is all leading edge code still in development. Jitsi Videobridge as an internal component from an Openfire plugin does not yet work because the bouncycastle library in Openfire needs an upgrade to the latest version that supports DTLS-SRTP. It only worked as an external component. I will try to get this fixed for Openfire 3.9.0 which is currently in alpha.   ** UPDATE **   Jitsi Videobridge plugin for Openfire is now available here at igniterealtime.org with the webrtc-based video conferencing application embedded as a web service. A complete web muti-person video conference solution in one box. You will need Openfire 3.9.0 to try it out.   In the meantime, Claude Stabile has generously made a live version available for us to try at https://webrtc.free-solutions.org:8443/videobridge.html   ** FURTHER UPDATE **   The first draft of the COnferences with LIght BRIdging (Colibri) XEP that is used to manage video conferences with Jitsi Videobridge is now out. You can find it here. All we need now is a volunteer to setp forward and add it to Smack/aSmack and Spark using the Java bells library   ** YET MORE UPDATE***   The first version of the Jitsi jitmeet web conferencing application is now out and has replaced the demo web application in the Jitsi Videobridge plugin. It has MUC chat with some other needed features like mute audio/video. Expect some more before Openfire 3.9.0 is released. As usual, you can checkout the latest code in the ignite realtime VCS, build and try it out yourself.   To help those cannot build openfire 3.9.0 from source. Do the following   Grab Openfire 3.9.0 nightly build from here Download jitsivideobridge.jar file from here   ** LAST UPDATE **   There is now a dedicated ignite space for jitsi-videobridge plugin. Please post any issues, questions and contributions here. I have also posted a blog about the changes I have made to the plugin to support a server-side focus agent. [Less]
