VC-1719

 Enghouse Vidyo reviewed and then ultimately disabled some LmiAsserts which will prevent unnecessary premature crashes that occurred sporadically when some iOS users attempted to join a Vidyo call using the VidyoClient iOS libraries on newer Apple iOS operating systems.  
VC-1706 Enghouse Vidyo fixed a few memory allocation issues that caused the application to crash after a number of calls.

 

VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.21

What's New in This Release

  • Improved Audio with Android™ 10 Devices 
    • The LmiAudioCapturer.java file has been updated, thereby preventing low audio issues on Android 10 devices.
    • Low audio occurred on Android P and later devices because the VOICE_COMMUNICATION parameter incorrectly selected the earpiece microphone by default.
  • Solutions for Bluetooth/Wired Headsets That Did Not Connect Before or During a Call  
    • The LmiAudioPlaybackDevice.java file has been updated to modify the playback stream to be set to AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC instead of AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL. This improves audio device switching before or during the call by taking into account circumstances related to the mobile device manufacturers.
    • Enghouse Vidyo does not recommend setting a speakerphone on by default using "AudioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true)" because this leads to headsets or Bluetooth devices not being detected on the system level. 
  • Resolved Issues
    • Enghouse Vidyo corrected several issues to improve performance and usability. 

Resolved Issues

The following table lists the resolved issues in VidyoClient version 3.5.21:  

VidyoClient Version 3.5.21 - Resolved Issues
Key Summary
VC-1714 The LmiAudioCapturer.java file has been updated, thereby preventing low audio issues on Android 10 devices. 
VC-1712 An issue on the iPhone® XR that caused the app to crash when a user pressed the End Call button has been resolved.
VC-1710

Enghouse Vidyo resolved an issue where Bluetooth/wired headsets did not connect properly before or during a call by updating the LmiAudioPlaybackDevice.java file to modify the playback stream to be set to AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC instead of AudioManager.STREAM_VOICE_CALL.

Enghouse Vidyo does not recommend setting a speakerphone on by default using "AudioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true)" because this leads to headsets or Bluetooth devices not being detected on the system level.
VC-1709 Enghouse Vidyo resolved a crash that occurred on iOS which resulted in a stack trace which referenced LmiBitset. This should help alleviate most of the theoretical crashes involving this area; however, if any are still present (so far unreproducible), future stack traces should shed more light on them.
VC-1706 A memory allocation issue that caused the app to crash after a certain number of calls has been resolved. 
VC-1702 Improvements were made to ensure that when running the client library via proper recommended API flows, open handle counts remain within a steady range and do not present as handle leaks and resource leaks over time. Enghouse Vidyo still recommends that long-running applications should cycle from time to time via VidyoClientStart() and VidyoClientStop() calls, but they SHOULD NOT and need NOT be done per call.
VC-1687 An issue was fixed where the VidyoClient application crashed after leaving a conference when using an iOS 13.3 device when IPv6 was encountered in the list of addresses while the library was expecting IPv4 only. This crash stack was identified via references to LmiIceMediaStreamNat64ResolutionCompleted in the stack trace. 

 

 

VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.20

What's New in This Release

This release resolved some issues to improve usability and performance, as well as introduced new APIs. The new APIs will allow you to modify the aspect ratio of the video and help you manage the composite send and receive bandwidth limits for video, data, and audio. For more information, please refer to the below bulleted sections and the Resolved Issues table. 

To download the package for this release and the VidyoClient API Reference Guide, go to the VidyoWorks API Downloads article and then click the 3.5.20 link in the Download Link column.   

  • New APIs to Modify the Aspect Ratio of Video
    • For customers with cameras that only support a 4:3 aspect ratio, use the new aspect ratio APIs to change your video screen settings.  
      • Set your aspect ratio to 4:3 to change to full screen video (limited high-definition display). 
      • Accept the system default of 16:9 to continue with widescreen video (the highest-definition video signals).
    • Use the SET/GET Configuration APIs to change the aspect ratio to the minimum camera supported size 4:3 (width:height):
      • VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_CONFIGURATION and VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_CONFIGURATION)  
      • If an incorrect value is set, the VidyoClient library will use the default value: 16:9. 
    • Set the aspect ratio of the rectangular partitions for width and height as follows:
      • (VidyoUnit)aspectRatioWidth = 16 or 4
      • (VidyoUnit)aspectRatioHeight = 9 or 3
    • Use the below referenced example, to change the aspect ratio to 4:3:

      VidyoClientRequestConfiguration config = {};

      VidyoClientSendRequest(VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_CONFIGURATION,

      &config, sizeof(VidyoClientRequestConfiguration));

      config.aspectRatioWidth = 4;

      config.aspectRatioHeight = 3;

      VidyoClientSendRequest(VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_CONFIGURATION,

      &config, sizeof(VidyoClientRequestConfiguration));

  • New Bandwidth APIs to Manage Video, Data, and Audio Limits
    • In this release, you can now set the full send or receive allowable bandwidth for video stream, data share, and audio with the following APIs and parameters. Previously, you could GET/SET SEND/RECEIVE bandwidth only for video stream. For example, the  VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_SEND_MAX_KBPS API controlled the send bandwidth only for the video stream and not for the audio or data share send bandwidth.  
      • Use the following parameters to SET/GET the maximum full bandwidths in KBPS units if using the SET/GET Configuration APIs:  
        VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_CONFIGURATION and VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_GET_CONFIGURATION):
        • maxFullSendBandwidth
        • maxFullRecvBandwidth
      • Another alternative is to use the APIs below to perform the same operation outside of the SET/GET Configuration APIs.
        • VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_FULL_SEND_BANDWIDTH and
        • VIDYO_CLIENT_REQUEST_SET_FULL_RECV_BANDWIDTH
    • For more details about these APIs, access the VidyoClient API Reference Guide by going to the VidyoWorks API Downloads article and then clicking the 3.5.20 link in the Download Link column to access the VidyoClient API Reference Guide. 
       
  • Resolved Issues 
    • See the table below for more details.

The following table lists the resolved issues in VidyoClient version 3.5.20:  

VidyoClient Version 3.5.20 - Resolved Issues
Key Summary
VC-1696 The SET/GET configuration APIs now allow users to set the aspect ratio to 16:9 or 4.3 eliminating cropped images with cameras using 640x480 resolution.
VC-1688 The number of warnings during the compile time of a VidyoClient sample app with iOS are now significantly reduced and the duplicate symbol warnings no longer display.  
VC-1637 An intermittent crash after calling 'VidyoClientStop()`no longer occurs. 

 

VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.19

 

New Updated Software Package for VidyoClient iOS Customers

An updated VidyoClient iOS software package for version 3.5.19 is now available for VidyoClient iOS customers. With this new package, VidyoClient iOS customers will no longer need to link to the third-party zlib library when building their application. The previous version of this software package included an unnecessary dependency on the zlib library that was unintentionally added due to an upgrade of the libcurl and OpenSSL. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

The updated software package is for VidyoClient iOS customers only. The software packages for VidyoClient Windows®, VidyoClient Mac®, and VidyoClient Android™ have not changed.

VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.18

What's New in This Release 

  • New enableWebProxyDiscovering Parameter
    • A new Boolean parameter called enableWebProxyDiscovering (default value = true) has been added to the VidyoClientRequestConfiguration structure.
    • The new parameter allows the application to turn off the automatic discovery of web proxies in the event that a network has an improperly configured proxy and it is disrupting the ability to connect to Vidyo calls.
  • Resolved Issues 
    • MacOS Catalina users can now successfully share their screens and applications with remote participants rather than displaying a blank screen.
    • OUT events, such as OUT_EVENT_CONFERENCE_ENDED and OUT_EVENT_CONFERENCE_CLEARED, are now processed correctly after a call is disconnected.
    • An autoproxy issue which resulted in the IN_EVENT_ROOM_LINK API hanging was resolved by supplying a new parameter (called enableWebProxyDiscovering) to the VidyoClientRequestConfiguration structure that turns off autoproxy look-up when set to false.

VidyoClient API: About Version 3.5.15

What's New in This Release 

  • Resolved Issues
    • In this release of VidyoClient, we’ve updated our library to use isVideoStabilizationModeSupported instead of isVideoStabilizationSupported, which has been deprecated by Apple®.
    • VidyoMobile™ users can now successfully join conferences when "Background Action" is disabled in their VidyoMobile app.
    • When a VidyoWeb™ or VidyoDesktop™ user mutes the microphones of all the participants in a video call, the video from that user will remain visible to any mobile participants in the call.
    • VidyoClient now returns the correct VidyoProxy state.
    • On iOS, IP addresses are properly determined as iPV4 or iPV6, thus avoiding a runtime assertion failure.
    • A runtime hang that occurred after leaving a call has been resolved on the Windows platform by providing a proper timeout value. Now, any delays only result in a five-second maximum wait instead of a runtime hang.

Resolved Issues

The following table lists the resolved issues in VidyoClient version 3.5.15:
