@robi the same thing happened on both chrome-based (ungoogled chromium) and Firefox.
@avatar1024 did you try a session with all plugins disabled, just to make sure there's no interference?

@robi Thank you for your help. I haven't enabled any specific plugins, it's on a fresh install with the default config file.
@avatar1024 I think @robi is referring to browser plugins
-
Ungoogled chromium has no plugins whatsoever installed (in fact it's rather complicated to install anything on it
) -
I've had different timeouts across different browsers so they lose connection on things like Cloudron web-terminal sessions, which then reload losing the work, unless using screen etc.
Sometimes there is also aggressive memory management for tabs that wants to unload things that look idle or use a bunch of RAM.
Check the performance settings of the browsers to see if it's set.

Right so, I have an update on this. It seems indeed that the disconnect have to do with the quality of the connectivity. I went away from home for a month and had much lesser issue in that other place (in fact none).
At home we have one router and two repeaters. It seems like depending on a how the laptop connects to the broadband impacts how frequently I get disconnections (i.e. whether it connects to a repeater / to the main router / over wifi 5 / over wifi 6E). I also get frequent disconnections when behind a VPN or over 4g/5g.
So while in optimum situations with very direct wifi the issue does not occur and MiroTalk functions correctly, it's still, I believe, a problem with how the app is optimized with regards to packet losses because I none of these issues using Jitsi, Teams, Zoom or Meet.
When I try my connection in any scenarios (at home connected to any device, or on 4g/5g) on here: https://test.vsee.com/network/index.html, it shows always between Good and Excellent.
@mirotalk-57bab571, any clues?

For testing purposes, could you also try the official mediasoup demo available here: https://v3demo.mediasoup.org ?
If you experience the same behavior as in MiroTalk SFU, you can post your findings directly on the mediasoup support forum: https://mediasoup.discourse.group. You might discover something useful or get help from the community.

@mirotalk-57bab571 So far I haven't been able to reproduce on the mediasoup demo, but I then went to try on the MiroTalk SFU demo (to check it wasn't specific to my own instance), and there I could reproduce within 5min! I got several / repeated disconnection/reconnection event (still with same message:
Lost Connection (Transport Closed)). Btw, when this happened I went straight back to using the mediasoup demo to check and there it was stable.So that seems to confirm that it has to do with something specific to the implementation in MiroTalk itself, not with Cloudron package specifically and not with the mediasoup sfu logic.
I pasted the log of a meeting when I had lost of disconnections when I updated the github bug report earlier this week in case useful.

@mirotalk-57bab571 I've been able to capture connection quality issues as I got disconnections on MiroTalk using https://test.vsee.com/network/index.html. The two drop in connections quality coincided with the disconnections/reconnections events in MiroTalk, which somewhat explain why those events happen randomly and support the idea it has to do with the quality / reliability of my connection (see below).
But there is something about MiroTalk that makes it particularly sensitive to it as does not happen with any other apps.
