The Media Proxy relays UDP media between clients, negotiated using the non-standard http://www.jivesoftware.com/protocol/rtpbridge namespace, which was never published as a XEP. The only known clients of that protocol are the legacy Jingle implementation of Smack (smack-jingle-old) and the Jingle plugin for Spark, which is no longer being built.

The code is removed from Openfire, and is made available as the RTP Bridge plugin instead. That plugin uses the same mediaproxy.* properties, so that existing configuration remains effective when the plugin is installed. When the mediaproxy.enabled property is set while that plugin is not installed, Openfire logs a warning after it has loaded its plugins.

The 'Media Services' group in the Admin Console sidebar is retained, as plugins add their pages to it.

📝 Walkthrough

The built-in Media Proxy service, its UDP relay and session components, and its administration page are removed. Server startup now warns when mediaproxy.enabled is true and the rtpbridge plugin is absent after plugin monitoring. The administration sidebar, index-page port row, and related translations are also removed. JMX port labels remain, and secure-port descriptions are present in the default and Chinese resources.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c0ca1

Removing the Media Proxy is safe to merge. The startup warning for configurations that still enable it can be missing after first-time setup, or can be wrong if the RTP Bridge plugin is installed under another filename. Both are small diagnostic issues that can be fixed in a follow-up.

Run the warning check after first-time setup.

When setup finishes, finishSetup() starts the modules and scans system properties, but it does not call warnIfRemovedMediaProxyIsEnabled(). If mediaproxy.enabled was configured before setup, the server gives no missing-plugin warning until its next restart. Call the check from the setup-completion path too. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Identify the RTP Bridge plugin by its declared name.

If an operator installs the RTP Bridge archive under a different filename, getPluginByCanonicalName("rtpbridge") returns empty even when the plugin is loaded. The server then prints an incorrect missing-plugin warning. Use getPluginByName("RTP Bridge"), which does not depend on the archive filename. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
