The following is the image of path /usr/local/bigbluebutton/core/scripts, where all the scripts for recording and playback resides.

I installed bbb-playback-video, but couldn't able to find the post scripts for single video.

Hello everyone,

I need to find a way to known when the single playback video gets ready, so that I can upload it to the blob storage, rather than keeping  it in the bbb server.

[Dharmendra Sinsinwar]

I see that, in command sudo bbb-record --watch, under published column it shows first 'presentation' and after some time 'video'.

Hi Dharmendra,

when a recording is finished (published) you'll find the files in /var/bigbluebutton/published/presentation/<meeting-id>.

Perhaps you could create a script that monitors this location and, when a new meeting-id folder appears, notify you (or copy the desired file).

Btw, the single playback file is in /var/bigbluebutton/published/presentation/<meeting-id>/video

Regards,

J.

Thanks, I am thinking the thing, like

{ the following script runs after the post_publish_recording_ready_callback.rb file, like system("/usr/local/bigbluebutton/core/scripts/post_publish/CheckVideo.sh #{meeting_id}") }

while true
do

        if [ ffprobe /var/bigbluebutton/published/video/$1/video-0.m4v -hide_banner -loglevel 0; echo $?  -eq 0 ]
then

        curl -X POST -d 'Meeting ID:'$1 https://***.requestcatcher.com/test   // just for checking
        break
else
        sleep 5
fi

done

But my concern is, whether it's a suitable ( or good) approach.

** and make sure the bash file is owned by bigbluebutton.

After playing sometime with the above code,

I got the below error on bbb-conf --check

#
# Warning: found 'Nil' message in recording processing logs.  Possible GEM errors
#
#  https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/14287
#

may I got this error after running   bbb-record --deleteall.

No need to check,  just put the upload code in post_publish.rb and the recording scripts will execute this automatically when it is published.

 

Also, if you really need to know when the recording states change for a recording,  set a webhook with bbb-webhooks, and every event will be sent to your application real time.

Thanks for the feedback, but I want the check condition for the single video made in .m4v format.

I tried this script but it gives me two time hit, one on published and second on single video creation:

#!/bin/bash

while true
do
 
 if [ ffprobe /var/bigbluebutton/published/video/$1/video-0.m4v -hide_banner -loglevel 0; echo $? -eq 0 ]      
then

        curl -X POST -d 'Meeting ID:'$1 https://bbb.requestcatcher.com/test

        break
else
        sleep 5
fi

done

And the second script I used is the :

#!/bin/bash

while true
do

        if [[ -d "/var/bigbluebutton/published/video/$1" ]]
then

        curl -X POST -d 'Meeting ID:'$1 https://bbb.requestcatcher.com/test

        break
else
        sleep 5
fi

done

which doesn't create the single video and got stuck in the time loop.
