Support for WebRTC

jupitermars

As of Orion version 0.99.121.1-beta (WebKit 614.1.20), support for WebRTC seems to be missing or broken.

It's not possible to share files with other devices on a local network by navigating to WebRTC–aware sites like sharedrop.io or snapdrop.net using Orion. The desktop machine doesn't show up on other devices in the local network when such websites are visited on Orion, whereas it does when visiting using Chrome-like browsers.

jupitermars Can you compare with Safari?

Any relevant options in Develop -> Experimental Fatures?

On Safari Version 12.1.2 (14607.3.9) running on macOS Mojave:
snapdrop.net -> appears to be working. The desktop machine does show up on other local devices.
sharedrop.io -> website loads but desktop machine doesn't show up on local devices and vice verse.

On Orion:
snapdrop.net -> site immediately crashes before loading and keeps crashing after reload. Error message: "The process for this web page crashed or was terminated. Try reloading the page or open a different website."
sharedrop.io -> site loads but as with Safari, the desktop machine doesn't show up on local devices and vice verse.

WebRTC "Experimental Features" enabled by default are:

Will enable the rest and report new results if any -> UPDATE: No difference to results with all options enabled.

I'm not able to reproduce the issue with Snapdrop on Ventura - I picked that one as you mentioned it gave you an instant crash.

I just tested with a message, and it seemed to work OK on Orion:

Could you retry in compatibility mode, to rule out extensions or similar? If that doesn't help, sounds like an issue w/ Orion webkit in Mojave.

Running in compatibility mode, snapdrop.net still crashes. Same with a fresh install of Orion with no extensions.

Orion, OS version:
Version 0.99.121.1-beta (WebKit 614.1.20)
MacBook Pro (macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G103))

I got it fine

OK, sounds like this is a bug in Orion that only affects older versions of Mac OS then.

jupitermars

Vlad Will do. Thanks Vlad 🙂

Vlad

scottjeffers please stop spamming the forum

scottjeffers The bug is for Mojave this is why I asked you to stop spamming, you have been posting irrelevant screenshots in other threads without really benefiting the conversation

@Vlad After updating Orion to the new release, both issues remain.

Snapdrop.net still crashes before loading, except now it no longer shows an error message, but just keeps trying to reload the site nonstop. Sharedrop.io loads but the device still doesn't show up on other local devices (same behavior seen on Safari, so I'm guessing this affects all webkit browsers).

Tested in both normal and compatibility modes, with a fresh install of Orion w/ no extensions.

Orion, OS version:
Version 0.99.122-beta (WebKit 615.1.11.7)
MacBook Pro (macOS Mojave 10.14.6 build 18G103)
