This error message pops up occasionally when recording is enabled and someone starts sharing their screen or webcam, but it doesn't seem to affect the recording.

Thanks for the report. That happens if the client announces a new stream but the RTP data doesn't arrive straight away. We currently have a hard-coded timeout of 200ms.

https://github.com/jech/galene/blob/master/rtpconn/rtpconn.go#L625

I'm not too keen on just increasing the timeout, since it'd delay pubishing streams in all cases. I'll try to see whether it's possible to have a large maximal timeout, but interrupt the wait as soon the RTP data arrives.

I get the same error, but no recording is done: the recording directory was created, as well as a subdirectory for my group, but there is nothing in it...

@alic63 are you using a non-default codec? Please check the "codecs" entry of your group definition.

No codec entry in the group definition. Maybe the point is in the way I'm testing: both users are on the same computer, in two distinct Firefox session (one plain session, and one Incognito session). Might that be the reason ?

EDIT: just tested with another PC and I get the same result.

That said codec might be strange, as video is very "greyish" (in contrast the galene demo server)

This indicates that the client couldn't establish an RTP connection with the server: there's something wrong with your network setup. So it's a different issue altogether.

I guess it's not the place to ask, but... where can I seek help on the matter ? (I'm in a setup with NAT and reverse proxy for http, and port forwarding for 1194 (tcp/udp) and port-range udp. Tested ok with netcat)...
