openvidu-screen-sharing-chrome-extension's Issues

I want to increase the screen sharing frame rate

I am Japanese. I can't speak English well, so please let me know if you don't understand the meaning.

I want to share the game screen, but the frame rate of the shared video is only about 10-20.

Is there any way to improve the frame rate?

Server: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Chrome: 78.0.3904.108

trying to follow steps for creating my own extension

So I followed the instructions and I am trying to get this work in my testing environment. I have forked a copy of openvidu-react and used the following code:

  joinSession() {
      this.OV = new OpenVidu();
      this.OV.setAdvancedConfiguration( { screenShareChromeExtension: "https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/not_relevant/akflaefcmhfnjnjadoebldoiakffdfdb" } );
    this.setState(
          {
              session: this.OV.initSession(),
          },
          () => {
              this.subscribeToStreamCreated();

              this.connectToSession();
          },
      );
  }

the steps mention to use the above procedure for testing purposes but it does not work. In openvidu-react the only place a new openvidu is called in that function. I believe this corresponds to calling openvidu-browser.

Any help is appreciated as it keeps telling me to install the openvidu chrome extension from the webstore.

In content_scripts of manifest.json I have included:

"http://localhost:3000/*"

Chrome extension doesn't work

By the way, in Windows screen sharing works just fine. Try https://demos.openvidu.io/openvidu-call

I tried that webpage in ubuntu 18.10, google chrome, openvidu screenshare extension and screenshare doesn't work?

EDIT: Works on Firefox.

Screen sharing doesn't work properly

When I first shared the screen, it worked fine. When I unshare and start sharing again, the peer can only see the gray share screen. So I can only rejoin the room and share it again.

I tested it in Win 10, macOS 10.14.4, Chrome (73.0.3683) and Firefox (66.0.5).
