third video preview if you use the 3-button navigation (any button)

newest version of Jami, Mate 20 Pro, Emui 11:

You receive a call: Now you can see Person B and a video preview of yourself (Person A)

Issue occurs:

a) Step 1: You tap the overview button; Step 2: You tap the home button; Step3: You tap the overview button again Now you see 3 different videos.

b) Step 1:You tap the overview button; Step 2: You return to Jami. Now you see 3 different videos.

c) Step 1:You tap the home button; Step 2: You return to Jami. Now you see 3 different videos.

d) You see the third video preview and tap the return button. Step 2: You tap on "back to the current call". Now you see a distorted image with the hang up button.

example d):

a,b,c

sometimes you only see two black picutures (blue arrows)

but you see Person B (red arrow)

similar: https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-client-android/-/issues/922

using newest beta version of Jami (Mate 20 Pro):

Another scenario:

Screen sharing: All steps as described previously.

(Sometimes (Windows 10, newest version) Person B just sees a black screen (not the content of the screen of Person A). If not: see next steps:)

BUT: You return to Jami NOT by clicking on the video preview instead you tap on the app again. Sometimes you have to tap on the user you are calling - sometimes you just need to tap on "back to the current call". Now the middle screen is only black and Person B (Windows 10) is shown as an additional video preview (red arrow). You can see yourself on the other preview.

If you tab on the preview of the other person you get a grey screen with no videos anymore.

Now you tap the overview button and you can see TWO windows of Jami. If you tap the video preview suddenly everthing works again.

But if you tap the overview button again you can see two windows of Jami again AND a third video preview of Person B again.

I'll upload examples.

Screenshot from Android Smartphone:

front video preview= Person that uses Windows 10

orange video preview = Person that uses Android

black window is just a black video

This is what you see if you tap the overview button (steps described above)

the person you see uses Windows 10

(The white fields are just the spaces with the Jami-username removed- in reality the white fields don't exist)

But you have three video previews - Not all are working.

@sblin Can you fix these issues? And the issues related to #922 (closed) ?

Who are the Android Developers ? @aberaud and @pduchemin ?

@El4 No I'm not, but the team is small and this is a minor bug. When somebody will work on it, it will be updated.

Ok thanks for the answer! Regarding windows it would be important to fix screen lag issues (that didn't happen if I was using Element (Windows <-> Android, same settings) so it's probably because of Jami) jami-client-qt#403 and the sound issue jami-project#1122 (closed).

But I understand that due to the small number of people of the developer team it can take time.

We currently work on this issue, hoping it will be fixed during the next two weeks.

Thanks for your reply. There's another issue but I'm not sure if it appears because of the Android version of Jami: jami-project#1308 (moved)

As mentioned:

No issues if you start a phone call in landscape (horizontal) mode

mentioned in issue jami-project#1308 (moved)

Does it work better on the latest release ? Thanks

I'll try out.

Edit: Ok. Third window is gone (Android beta version: 2021092401)

BUT: If you return to Jami and tap on "change / flip camera" (and don't tap on "screenshare" again to stop to sharing your screen) the button "Share screen" is still selected AND the video preview of yourself is just a black bar; see issue: #922 (closed) (Attachment: yellow arrow shows what you can see)

during screen share: And the video preview of your screen is just the black bar mentioned (see yellow arrow).

However -although the android user can't see his own preview - the Windows 10 user can view the camera video (of the Android smartphone) with no problems

@aberaud Can you fix this bug too?

This bug is already handled, it should be available in the next beta

Ok thanks for your reply! @mcallet Can you fix the bug with the (not wanted) Zoom? Android -> PC ? See: very last post in this thread: #922 (closed)

newest beta version (20211004-01): The black bar is gone but you don't see any preview anymore.

AND

If you stop screensharing you see the preview again (Android)

BUT for Windows 10 user: you still see the screen of the smartphoen although screenshare should be no longer active.

You have to switch the camera multiple times to see yourself (Android user -> Windows 10) again.

OR (Android:) Pause video and resume AND you get landscape mode instead of portrait mode. #1003 (moved)

newest beta version (20211004-01): The black bar is gone but you don't see any preview anymore. AND If you stop screensharing you see the preview again (Android)

Having no preview while screensharing is the expected behavior (at least currently).

For the last part it's indeed an issue, thanks @El4

I think there just this one issue left: #1067 (closed)

So I close.
