• is_disabled prometheus metric for terminating nodes (#622)
• Details field in EgressInfo (#627)

v1.8.0

Requires livekit-server v1.5.1+

Fixed

• Track/Track composite failures when video track begins muted (#524)
• Segment upload failures if queue gets backed up (#509)
• Sync issues (#498, #507)
• Stream reconnections (#503)

v1.7.9

Fixed

• Pulse not closing properly eventually causing all room composite and web egress to fail (#486)

v1.7.8

Fixed

• Improved RTMP retry policy (#444)
• Pipeline frozen errors (#459)
• Websocket egress marked as failed after being stopped (#450)
• Negative waitgroup counter bug with track/track composite egress (#463)

Added

• Supports decoding vp9 tracks with track/track composite egress (#465)

Changed

• Chrome sandboxing is now a config option, disabled by default (#481)

v1.7.5

NOTE: as of v1.7.5, chrome sandboxing is enabled for increased security. As a result, the service is no longer run as root
inside docker, and all Egress deployments (even local) require --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN in your docker run command.
Without it, all web and room composite egress will fail with a chrome failed to start error.

Fixed

• Hang if EndRecording called before StartRecording (#392)
• Panic on concurrent websocket writes
• CPU overscheduling (leads to audio loss and other issues) (#396, #403, #406)
• Hang on gstreamer internal deadlock (#407)

Added

• Include logs from gstreamer (#398, #401, #411)
• Save space by deleting local segments once uploaded (#405)

v1.7.2

Added

• AwaitStartSignal option for web egress (if true, it will not start until your website logs START_RECORDING)

Fixed

• New jitter buffer to help with track/track composite latency issues
• Updated track synchronizers to help with a/v sync issues
• Track websocket egress will send pings to keep websocket connection alive
• An instance will not schedule above 80% CPU (maxing out CPU causes issues)
• An instance will now accept a request if it's idle and requirement == total CPUs (for example, room_composite_cost = 4 and your pods have 4 CPU)

Changed

• Redacted stream keys in logs will show the starting and ending characters so they can be identified

v1.7.0

Fixed

• State management bugs (#292, #333)
• Service stops replying for existing egress on shutdown (#297)
• Server panics (#301, #320, #348)
• Track sync/timestamping issues (#305, #313)
• Cost config not respected (#346)

Updated

• Templates use livekit-components (#323, #350)
• Better input validation (#322, #328)

v1.6.0

Added

• Multiple outputs enabled (max one of each type) - for example, you can stream to multiple providers and store an mp4 all with one egress (currently only available by using twirp directly, sdk updates coming soon)
• Added timestamp suffix option with segmented file output, to match Agora's TS filename conventions

Fixed

• VP8 resolution change issue with track egress (Caps changes not supported by Mastroska error)
• Updated GStreamer to v1.22.0 for improved stability
• New internal communication system (PSRPC) with improved reliability - can be turned on by setting UsePSRPC to true in LiveKit Server config
• Various A/V sync and reliability improvements

Changed

• Google cloud storage config Credentials now takes a string instead of bytes to match the egress config
