Sessions seem to "time out" and sometimes never connect

I’ve come back to bugout after a hiatus and have been playing around with basic chat.

What I’ve been noticing is that the sessions are timing out if the user is idle. The other party isn’t able send or receive messages in that room either because my session isn’t active any longer. Sometimes the session never reconnects until the first instance is refreshed several times, or unless I duplicate the tab to “kickstart” the session.

Is this something that you have seen before and/or do you have any ideas on how to improve connectivity? By the way, I am doing a simple p2p room, not server/client based, if that matters.

I added b.heartbeat() thinking it might help, but it has not.

I have a long running service using Bugout which connects find even after being online for a year. I think the difference here is you want the connection itself to be long running and/or reconnect when it goes offline. I haven’t tested this use-case much, but have marked this as a bug and will investigate next time I am working on Bugout. In the meantime if you discover anything please note it here. You can turn on extra debugging in the console with: localStorage["debug"] = "bugout,webtorrent"

Thanks for reporting this.

@draeder I have upgraded the tracker server to the latest version of bittorrent-tracker which was long overdue. Hopefully this brings some stability.
