One quick question... Over the years, I have seen kind members of this forum offer to "give back" and allow other sites to use their Jitsi servers. Is this really possible or practical? It seems like some of the UNA / Jitsi integrations could be "broken" from one url to another.... Settings, memberships, events, etc.

Surely, these kind individuals were talking about more than just testing their new Jitsi servers. Right?

So. Please confirm that more than one UNA site (sites and urls which I control) can access both features (jitsi meet and video transcoding) on a SINGLE external server. IF I control both servers and have them properly configured in the settings and in the inc/header.inc.php file.

In other words, I have TWO UNA sites on one server which I want to use with ONE remote (unmanaged) server for these two purposes. The two purposes which are not possible on a shared hosting plan. Due to resource constraints.

Thank YOU.

Hi All. I've added the app ID and secret for Jitsi in the Messenger settings. Now I get an "exp" authenitication error. How can I get beyond this? It relates to time expiration, no doubt. Part of the token payload, it appears.

The UNA call identifier in the photo below? Does that number actually correspond to my own site? UNA 333Cc6870758486893.... ???

I just need an instance of Jitsi for a few people. Surely with all the Jitsi integration work already done by UNA devs, this is doable.

I asked TMD Hosting about self-hosting a Jitsi server but they said that my plan (over $650 per year) did not qualify.

I just need to get the free version going for now. Thank YOU.

Jitsi has been discussed here for about 5 years. Most questions on the subject were answered but many were not. Yes, we know that Jitsi has changed their usage terms over this timeframe. And like every other internet thing, it becomes a moving target.

Needless to say, today's social site users expect easy to navigate, seamless video of all kinds. If they don't find it, they will keep moving on to sites which do.

Users, however, have no idea how complicated coding is for internet video, audio, and streaming... For example, the video engine here on UNA is based on FFmpeg - which has dozens of pages of just settings. The documentation would fill a large book.

Anyway, it appears that UNA did the heavy lifting and successfully integrated Jitsi into their Messenger app. At present, it connects for video calls which are subject to a five minute limit. A link is provided to "Jitsi As a Service" or JAAS and there is an offer for a free "starter package". The free service is limited to a small group of users, of course. Which is much, much better than nothing.

So for self-hosters, the question is: How do the Jitsi required settings correspond or interface with those in the Messenger settings? I cannot get them to work. Jitsi states that: "All you need to do is to copy the integration code snippet and paste it into your app or website." 

I realize that for the full video services a dedicated server with ample resources is needed. So, I guess the free service is the iFrame variety. But how? And why does it seem so complicated?

Hello dear Unitarians. Several times a year, the Messenger app fails. Connections do not connect. Usually a server restart fixes this issue. Yesterday, it did not. Leading me to ask: Does the Jotserver itself need to be restarted in addition to the server restart?

I checked the certificate. It looked OK. Any ideas why jotserver fails about every 3 months? We're hosted by TMD, by the way.

In the php error log, I see but cannot interpret: .... modules/boonex/messenger/classes/BxMessengerTemplate.php on line 1591[10-Dec-2024 15:02:20 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Implicit conversion from float 1.1333333333333333 to int loses precision in 

This error appears more like a visual template issue than one relating to connectability.

Hello all you UNAtarians. I receive warnings every few weeks from bug bounty hunters. They tell me that the phpinfo . php page makes the site vulnerable to exploitation.

Is this true? Should this page be hidden?

Could you consider making these url's more search engine friendly? Based upon the title of the article? Instead of ____/view-article/1vbtcdv

THANK YOU!

Would like to see a single button to clear all the notifications. Thousands of notifications leave the user feeling overwhelmed.

Unable to create new account from Studio. The password has far more than 4 characters. Count the little balls in the password field.

I attempted this process on two fully updated UNA sites. Both failed.

So.... Why would an administrator want to manually add a member? Because many confirmation emails get unknowingly sent to a spam mailbox. And ALSO in other cases, the UNA anti-spam mechanism tells the would be sign up that it has "detected spam".

Help!

"See more..." is a good idea, especially on long posts or long pages. But... no one want to click "see more" just to read one or two more words in a post.

Could one of the clever UNA programmers change this so that if there are only a few more words in a post - they will be displayed without an extra click or tap.

Yes, I know the line has to be drawn somewhere. It's just a suggestion.
