HTML5 client on BBB 1.1

[lalev....@gmail.com]

Greetings,

I need help fixing an issue with my Button.  I have installed it as described here:

http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/install/install.html

and I have survived the little problem that prevented bbb-html5 package to install (it needed older version of node.js installed too). Now my button works and if I start the conference from the default demo page (I have demos installed), everything is fine and the client works.

The problem arises when I try to activate the client trough a module in my Moodle installation.
I get 401 - Unauthorized when I choose the html5 client.  The flash client works just fine.

When I open the js console, I see this:

Client log:

[
  {
    "error": {
      "error": 401,
      "description": "Authentication failed."
    },
    "method": "authenticatedRouteHandler",

      "requesterUserId": "2",
      "requesterToken": "9xkkm1zugclo"
    }
  },

      },
      "bbbVersion": "1.1-beta",
      "location": "https://bbb.eacademybg.com/html5client/"
    }
  }
]

In /var/log/nginx/bigbluebutton I see this:

(There goes my privacy. I have, since the time of this post, removed the bbb-demo package.)

The 1.1 packaged version of the HTML5 client is very old and out of date. That version was never fully finished and the way it's launched is different from the much easier way in 2.0. I would suggest using a 2.0 BBB server if you want to use the HTML5 client.

Hi, 

If your server is on the internet, you an install BigBlueButton 2.0-beta + HTML5 + SSL with a single command, see

  https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install

I have updated my server via apt-get update.

I had to change a line in /usr/share/meteor/bundle/systemd_start.sh from

cd /usr/share/meteor/bundle
ROOT_URL=http://127.0.0.1/html5client MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/html5client NODE_ENV=$ENVIRONMENT_TYPE PORT=3000 node main.js

to

cd /usr/share/meteor/bundle
ROOT_URL=http://127.0.0.1/html5client MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/html5client NODE_ENV=$ENVIRONMENT_TYPE PORT=3000 nodejs main.js

Now it seems to work fine.
I can edit /var/www/bigbluebutton/BigBlueButton.html to stop the flash client completely, but I was hoping to have something like "Choose Flash" and "Choose HTML5" buttons. Which is the cleanest way to do this ?

Hi Mr Lalev,

There are several ways to choose between the two clients on BBB 2.0.x:

-In BigBlueButton.html you can force redirection towards HTML5 client. This is currently done for Android/iOS browser users

-in bigbluebutton.properties you can configure preferred client for either viewers (students) or moderators (or all)  https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/v2.0.x-release/bigbluebutton-web/grails-app/conf/bigbluebutton.properties#L174-L178

Kind regards,

Anton Georgiev
