fix(device-selection): do not reuse tracks in previews
Device selection has live previews that reuse the current local
audio and video tracks for the sake of internet explorer. This
means when the local video was muted, device selection would
show a muted message. It is preferred to show a live preview
even when muted.
The changes include:
- Passing device ids into DeviceSelectionDialog, not tracks.
- Setting default selected devices to use for live previews.
- Removing all checks in DeviceSelectionDialog involving local tracks.
- Catching and displaying errors when creating a live video preview.
fix: change string displayed when previewing a muted video input
Device Selection re-uses the local video track for its preview.
When displaying Device Selection while video muted, the text
"muted" displays within the video preview, but some translations
may mistake this to mean audio muted. The text has been changed
to be explicit about video mute. This is a temporary solution;
at some point Device Selection should not re-use the local track
except for IE, the one browser that cannot get multiple tracks
from the same video input.
The Device Selection modal consists of:
- DeviceSelection, an overly smart component responsible for
triggering stream creation and cleanup.
- DeviceSelector for selector elements.
- VideoInputPreview for displaying a video preview.
- AudioInputPreview for displaying a volume meter.
- AudioOutputPreview for a test sound output link.
Store changes include is primarily storing the list of
available devices in redux. Other app state has been left
alone for future refactoring.
