Record and Playback of Desktop sharing in bbb v0.81

[Kiran Patil]

Hello,

I heard from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSTGfvICYX4 video that desktop sharing is not supported for record and playback, is it correct ?

We want Desktop sharing Record and playback feature, so what are the alternative solutions available for us?

Thanks,
Kiran.

I have got the following information from http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/RecordPlaybackSpecification

Deskshare

• Records the deskshare stream as FLV in /var/bigbluebutton/deskshare/
• Stores a start recording and stop recording event into redis

The capture of desktop sharing is turned off by default in BigBlueButton 0.8. To enable capture of desktop sharing as a video file, edit

  /usr/share/red5/webapps/deskshare/WEB-INF/red5-web.xml

and set the constructor-arg for index 0 to true

  <bean id="streamManager" class="org.bigbluebutton.deskshare.server.stream.StreamManager">
    <constructor-arg index="0" value="true"/>
    <constructor-arg index="1" ref="recordingService"/>
  </bean>

Will this work for me ?

Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi Kiran,

Yes, that will work to record the desktop sharing, and the only available playback for desktop sharing is using the Matterhorn integration. That means the playback of desktop sharing is not available in the BigBlueButton server  itself but in a server with Matterhorn after following the steps for the integration.

Hi Kyrian,

There are a number of enhancements planned for record and playback:

  - record and playback desktop sharing

  - start/stop button

  - edit the recording

Our strategy is not to try and do everything in a release; otherwise, we would never finish.  We'll be continuing to enhance the record and playback in future versions -- especially as we add more capabilities to BigBlueButton, such as polling and shared notes. 

Right now, our focus is to finish 0.81 so we can move onto the next release.

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred,

When can we expect "record and playback desktop sharing" feature in BBB ?

Probably in another 6 months or so ?

Thanks for awesome project.

Kiran.

Thanks Gustavo.

Hi Kiran,

We don't give dates for features.  We release on quality, not dates.  Once we finish this release, we'll rest (for about five minutes) and start working on the next. 

To understand how we prioritize features for a release, see

  https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/FAQ#When_will_feature_X_be_implemented

We'll get there, but we have to finish 0.81 first.

Regards,... Fred
