I'm sorry to hear you're encountering the

aiohttp.client_exceptions.ServerDisconnectedError: Server disconnected

error. This usually happens when a WebSocket connection is unexpectedly closed. The good news is that LiveKit has some great built-in features to help handle these disconnections, like automatic retries and reconnection events. Here are a few steps that might help you troubleshoot this: • Try enabling debug logging so you can get a closer look at what's happening with the connection. • Double-check the WebSocket URL, API key, and API secret in your setup to make sure everything's correct. • Have a look at your network and proxy settings to confirm they’re allowing the connection to the server. • Keep an eye on the retry behavior and consider adjusting the

max_retry

parameter if your network is a bit unstable. • Check the reason for disconnection from the

Disconnected

event or your logs—it can offer valuable clues. • Make sure the LiveKit server is up and running, especially if you're connecting locally. If you’re still facing issues after trying these, please feel free to share your logs with timestamps, room IDs, and version details. I’m here to help you get this sorted out!

this is the code "try: await job_ctx.api.room.delete_room(api.DeleteRoomRequest(room=room_name)) logging.info(f"Room {room_name} deleted successfully.") except aiohttp.ClientError as e: logging.exception( f"Failed to delete room {room_name} due to client error: {e}" )" that produces the error.

It looks like the error happens when the LiveKit API call to delete a room runs into a network-related issue. To help you handle this smoothly, make sure your code catches

aiohttp.ClientError

properly and manages the client session well. Here's a friendly example you can try out:

Copy code

import aiohttp
from livekit import api

async def delete_room_safely(room_name: str):
    session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
    try:
        lkapi = api.LiveKitAPI(session=session)
        await lkapi.room.delete_room(api.DeleteRoomRequest(room=room_name))
        print(f"Room {room_name} deleted successfully")
        return True
    except aiohttp.ClientError as e:
        print(f"Failed to delete room {room_name} due to client error: {e}")
        return False
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")
        return False
    finally:
        await session.close()

# Usage
await delete_room_safely("myroom")

This approach helps ensure your session is cleaned up properly and gives you clear feedback if something goes wrong. If you keep running into trouble, it might be helpful to double-check your network connection and API credentials. I'm here if you need any more help!
