BUG: Only the first joined client can send files

Open befocken opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

After I used the officially hosted version and also my self-hosted version of snapdrop for a while, I noticed that sometimes, the file transfer dialog closes on the sending client, but just nothing happens on the (supposedly) receiving client. I tested with various files (file size and type) and I think I narrowed it down to the following:

The client that first joined the session is able to send data successfully. However, the client that joined second cannot - with the behavior described above. I could not test with three clients yet. However, I can almost not believe that this is really the case... Can someone else verify this behavior?

I used two computers with Firefox 103/104 and Fedora 36.

Is also possible related with #466.

Btw, I noticed that there are a lot of open issues and PRs. Is this project still actively maintained?

This is really weird, works for me… usually I first connect with the receiver and then with the sender… strange!

Not really as before, there are a lots of issues and pulls opened but there is no close/merge for them.

For this last question I think @RobinLinus could help more.
