Is it possible to track whether someone watched your BBB recording and if so how long?

See title.

Thanks!

The easier question to answer is "Is it possible to track how many times a user clicked on a recording link?" as each click triggers an entry in nginx.

To actually know if a user is watching a recording is much harder.  Nginx is streaming the recording (using pseudo streaming over https), but I don't know if there is any way to track this.

You could build a small client that embeds the HTML5 <video> tag (to view the recording) within the page and monitors the user's interaction with the tag and the corresponding bandwidth of the video stream (if this is possible).  I don't know of anyone who has done this before.

I would like to implement this. Does anybody know where/how I can get a database or list of recordings?

[Chad Pilkey]

BigBlueButton doesn't have a database or list of recordings. The recordings are fetched from the file system.

What file do I need to look at to see how greenlight filters and processes/displays the recording links?

[Volker Trotte]

We implemented such a Database on our own, using postPublish ruby files. There you can get nearly all informations you need. We also create screenshots and thumbnails for a fast preview.

[Dhaval]

is there any way to lookup an internal meeting id to convert it to a greenlight user and room name? 

[Chad Pilkey]

The internal meeting id is a hash of the external meeting id/name plus the timestamp that the meeting was started. Because it's a hash there's no way to go back to the original meeting information.

Regarding the question about how Greenlight displays recordings, it calls the getRecordings API with the external meeting id that GL has in its database. http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/api.html#getrecordings
