Trying to use a Raspberry Pi running Debian as a client in jitsi meetings, joining the jitsi meeting in Firefox, but the audio is really bad, too bad to even be usable at all. Discussed with others who tried it and they got the same kind of problems.
Note that this is not about setting up a jitsi server, this is about using a Raspberry Pi as a client, as one of the meeting participants.
Are there some things that need to be tweaked to make that work?
@tsvenson thanks, I'll try and see if chromium works better.
Things are improving for Firefox too. I've noticed positive things related to for example GPU-accelerating lately.
The official Raspberry Pi OS is usually where things happen first.
@eliasr What is the selected codec? Opus..?
You can check it from the network indicator which is located on the right-top corner of your view.
> What is the selected codec? Opus..?
Thanks! It says "Codevs (A/V): opus"
(Other than that, it shows connection "good" and 0% packet loss which seems good.)
Can I somehow ask jitsi to use a different codec? Or is there something that could be done to make the "opus" codec work better?
@eliasr There are some additional parameters for Opus but you can update them if this is your own Jitsi server. By the way, the default parameters are fine in most use-cases.
There are a few thing you can try:
- Use Chromium as browser to understand if the issue related with Firefox.
- Try https://meet.jit.si as server if you tested before with your own server.
- Check CPU and RAM usages during the meeting to understand if this is a resource issue.
- Try a meeting with all cameras off
@eliasr
IIRC Firefox use of things like GPU-acceleration on ARM is limited, thus the CPU is having to work hard.
Chromium does that better.
Can also vary between distros.
