LiveKit module update for FoundryVTT v13

Hi folks! Many of you may have seen updates in various other locations, but I wanted to also provide an update here.

Work on updating the module for FoundryVTT v13 is still ongoing. There were some significant changes to the A/V settings components that are making this update much more difficult that previous ones. I have made headway in the update, however I have also encountered some core Foundry bugs along the way that are going to make A/V harder to use on Foundry until those issue...

October 2023 Tavern LiveKit Server Keys

Thank you to the new and continued patrons who have subscribed for access to our clustered LiveKit server for use with the LiveKit AVClient for FoundryVTT.

It looks like the LiveKit server from the LiveKit team has stabilized some as the version of the server hasn't needed to be updated in the last couple of months. None-the-less, I just completed a refresh of the servers to ensure that the...

Thank you to the new and continued patrons who have subscribed for access to our clustered LiveKit server for use with the LiveKit AVClient for FoundryVTT.

I missed an update in May, so I'll be extending the April key to be valid until July 1st so you don't need to rush to update to the latest key.

April LiveKit Keys coming soon

I wanted to drop a quick note letting you know that I'll be releasing fresh keys for April soon. To deploy new keys, I have to restart the servers and it's much nicer to update them all at once. Since the weekends tend to be super busy on the cluster, I'm not sure I'll find a window where the servers can be restarted without interrupting games. The latest keys (February) will continue to be valid through this month...

LiveKit Cluster Updates

I apologize to folks who have experienced some disruption with the Tavern LiveKit cluster over the last couple of weeks. The host I was using started becoming unreliable with network traffic. Rather than continue to fight with issues there, I decided to rebuild the cluster on a different provider and also take some steps to make it easier to scale and allow for the servers to run on multiple providers in the future if needed.

The new cluster is now online. However, I also had attempted ...

New AV Client available for testing

I've been a bit frustrated with the state of Jitsi lately. There are several reported issues of cameras freezing, disconnects, and browser incompatibilities that I don't think are do to the module code, but caused by underlying Jitsi issues.

So, I went on an adventure playing with some other options and have come up with something that I'd like to start having folks test out! This is based on the LiveKit project,
