This release contains one small bugfix.

• fix edge server tests and log import by @joschahenningsen
  • This fixes an issue with the latest deployment where the wrong log package was imported in the Edge submodule.

Changes in this release:

Features​

• allow mp4 downloads from HLS Edge server by @joschahenningsen
  • Video files are now downloaded from the edge server instead of pulling the mp4 file from the mass storage. This step helps us get rid of the dependence of video files in the mass storage, thus saving 50% disk space. The long term goal is to only store HLS segments and discard the mp4 files after they have been converted to a HLS stream.
• Use MediaMTX for Selfstreams by @joschahenningsen
  • Selfstreams are now delivered to the worker using MediaMTX. This package has proven to be more reliable and much more actively maintained than nginx with the rtmp module.
  • MediaMTX is now also embedded in the docker container of the worker. This allows easier deployment and self-streaming to any worker.

Bugfixes​

• Fix chat replay message scrolling by @MatthiasReumann
  • When watching a video on demand with the chat following the stream times, the messages automatically scrolled to were offset by a bit and thus out of the visible area. This is now fixed.
• Fix Firefox file drop by @MatthiasReumann
  • Dropping files as lecture attatchments did not work in Firefox. This is now fixed.
• Fix skip silence button fadeout by @MatthiasReumann
  • The skip silence button would not fade out when the video was silent. This is now fixed.

Misc​

• Update Node.js to v20
