Thanks for reaching out, Sebastián. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
I'd love to help you out! Could you please share a bit more about your application setup and how you're handling events? For instance, are you using a specific SDK or API to manage sessions? Also, is there a particular way you'd like to handle this event? Your details will really help me assist you better.

is the Python Client SDK and that is something on the RTC Engine

It looks like the event
received session close: signal client closed: "ping timeout" UnknownReason Resume
means that the LiveKit client temporarily lost its signaling connection because of a ping timeout. The good news is that the SDK is designed to handle this smoothly by trying to resume the session automatically using the Python Client SDK's built-in reconnection logic. If you'd like to manage this more actively in your application, you can listen for room-level events like
reconnecting
,
reconnected
, and
disconnected
. Here’s a simple example to help you get started:
Copy code
from livekit import Room
from livekit.rtc import ConnectionState, DisconnectReason

room = Room()

@room.on("reconnecting")
def on_reconnecting():
    print("Network interruption detected. Attempting to reconnect...")

@room.on("reconnected")
def on_reconnected():
    print("Reconnected to room.")

@room.on("disconnected")
def on_disconnected(reason: DisconnectReason):
    print(f"Disconnected from room: {reason}")
    if reason == DisconnectReason.SIGNAL_CLOSE:
        print("Signal connection was lost - network issue likely.")
By using these events, you can keep your users informed by updating the UI or sending notifications about the connection status. If you have any questions or need a hand with implementing this, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to help!
