Replace http://jitsi.riot.im with self hosted server

[rajil]

The riot server is hardcoded in https://github.com/vector-im/riot-android/blob/develop/vector/src/main/java/im/vector/activity/JitsiCallActivity.java. I have a self hosted Jitsi server and was hoping to use it instead of https://jitsi.riot.im/.

What is required to build an apk with the URL change and still have google notifications work?

We'd also like to replace the jitsi server with a self-hosted version. Is this somewhere on the roadmap of Riot Android?

It would be better an Input field in the preferences menu. So everyone could have the chance to change the preferred Jitsi server.

the Correct way to do this now is to pull the server config from .well-known as per matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#4348. However, all our work is going into RiotX right now. If someone wants to contribute a PR then please go for it.

I integrated my own jitsi instance into riot.im web and are able to start a conference by using the browser. But if a group member with the android app want's to join this conference by clicking on "video" he/she will start a room on jitsi.riot.im with the same name as the room is on my instance and is not able to join. Is this know. Is there a workaround?

See #3462

so this is part of 0.9.11 release but not closed?

Probably because this is only resolved 50%. If you now start a videoconference by using jitsi web on a server where a different jitis instance is configured you are able to join this conference with jitsi on android. But if you start a conference on jitsi for android, the conference is still started on jitsi.riot.im. This is so far what I tested with riot-android 0.9.11

@MelBourbon Well spotted.
@MisterRager Any reason, why this limitation? In my case there may not be a riot-web in the mix to start a conference. The conference will be started by an android user.
