No video in p2p if other participant has joined with his camera turned off

See original GitHub issue

Description

In p2p mode, a user using the app on mobile (android or iphone) will not receive the video from the other participant if there are in p2p and if other participant has joined with his camera turned off.

Current behavior

  • user1 join room on desktop using chrome with his camera turned off
  • user2 join room on a mobile (android or iphone)
  • user1 turn on his video (or share his screen)
  • user2 do not see any video

Expected Behavior

user2 should see the video

Possible Solution

Does not occur if either:

  • user1 join with video turned on,
  • p2p is disabled in config.js,
  • p2p is stopped during the conference (executing APP.conference._room.stopP2PSession() in user1 console): user2 sees the video right after the command is executed.

Environment details

First noticed on our on premise install (2.0.6826-1) and also reproduced on meet.jit.si Using latest jitsi app (built dec 2021).

Happens only when the receiver is running in plan-b mode and the sender is running in Unified-plan mode, debugging the issue still.

Yep, @saghul and @jallamsetty1, I can reproduce this.
