Arcane Viewing 0.3

Hi again!

I'm releasing Arcane Viewing!

This version is much improved, though a lot of the changes in it won't be immediately visible to any of you, but it has a lot of cleaning up of the code, making it more stable but mostly easier to maintain on the long term.The big user visible changes for you are :

• Support for FVTT 0.4.x (obviously)
• The GM can now block a specific user from sharing their video or audio.
• You can mute all users at once if necessary
• When a player is talking, it will illuminate their nameplate
• Auto-reconnects and much higher resilience against unstable networks
• With the support for user avatars in 0.4.x, the user avatar will be displayed (if set) for the players without a camera instead of their actor's avatar.
• The server I'm making available for my patrons is now configured with a TURN relay server so connection between parties should always work now, regardless of the network topology.

You can see it running in the video above. To use Arcane Viewing, it's very simple, install the module attached in this post, enable SSL for FVTT and you're done. 

To enable SSL for your FVTT installation, here are some very simple instructions (note that it won't make it secure since the keys provided here are publicly known):

- Edit the options.json file of your FVTT installation in the data path under the Config directory, and set the "sslCert" and "sslKey" values like this : 

"sslCert": "../Data/modules/arcaneviewing/Server/ssl/localhost.cert",

"sslKey": "../Data/modules/arcaneviewing/Server/ssl/localhost.key",

That's it! You now have ssl enabled and Video conferencing should work. The difficult part of configuring the signalling server is done for you and you can use the server I'm providing you all. It is still not authenticating the users, so anyone can use it, but I hope nobody shares this module or the server URL with non-patrons (or that if you use the server, you will remain a patron). Once I have a authentication system in place, I will let everyone know how they can create a user so they can use the server.

With the core features being solid, I will now be able to work on the 'nicer' features for the upcoming release, my current TODO list is :

• Voice activity threshold for unmuting ourselves.
• Push to talk support
• Configurable green-screen support to make the background invisible
• Adaptive bitrate support (decrease camera quality automatically for users with low connection speeds)
• Configuration of audio and video codecs to use (VP8 uses more bandwidth but more CPU than VP9 for example)
• Replace token icons with the camera feed (useful in combination with the green screen)

I expect that I'll do those in the next week or two, but I've spent a lot of time on AV lately, so I want to go back and fix a few bugs in the latest Beyond20 release, then port R20Converter to 0.4.x as well.

Thanks all and I hope you like this release! And if you have any questions, you know how to contact me!
