It seems to work when the token generation is made via the api key and secret but if I provide a generated string token doesn't work

Well, it seems that the token needs to have the video grant of canSubscribe, I am not sure why, it only publishes video. If someone has some explanation it would be nice :slightly_smiling_face:

By default when calling `rtc.Room.connect`, the participant (correct me if I'm using this wrong) will attempt to subscribe to all published tracks in the room.

This behavior can be turned off with the `auto_subscribe` option. Check out this snippet that I use to connect to rooms with the python sdk:
```room = rtc.Room()
options = rtc.RoomOptions(auto_subscribe=False)
await room.connect(LIVEKIT_URL, TOKEN, options)```


Ah <@U03GAB3TP8F> I think that's a bug with the Python SDK. we should not need to wait for subscriber connection to establish if the client doesn't have subscribe permissions.

For now your workaround makes sense. We'll have to track down publish-only mode.
