bbb-playback-screenshare and existing recordings

[Romeo S]

Hello there,

I've discovered that there are new recording output formats which can be optinally installed (bbb-playback-podcast and bbb-playback-screenshare).  How does this work with existing recordings, e.g if I re-process a recording which was created prior to installing bbb-playback-podcast and/or bbb-playback-screenshare, will it create the podcast/video file for the existing recording as well?  How can this podcast/video file be downloaded, e.g directly from the server or is a download option shown to the end-user when watching the regular recording in the browser?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Romeo

If you rebuild the recordings it should reprocess them in the new formats. If you have a lot of recordings it could take awhile if you do a --rebuildall though.

Users should be able to right-click and save the media with those recording formats.

Hi Chad,

Thanks for your feedback.  I've installed the two additional output formats (podcast and screenshare) and rebuilt a single recording.  According to bbb-record --watch the rebuild was successful and it shows all three output formats under Published:

However, when I click on either "podcast" or "screenshare" in the Moodle BBB activity, I get a 404 not found error:

The links are as follows:

https://hostname/podcast/meeting-id/audio.ogg

and:

https://hostname/recording/screenshare/meeting-id

However, both lead to 404 not found.

Kind regards,
Romeo

Sorry, I just had to restart nginx and everything seems to work fine now.

Do you plan on adding a module which merges the presentation, webcam video and audio into a single video file?

Hi Romero,

We're pretty focused on finishing BigBlueButton 2.2-beta at the moment.  What you ask is an open enhancement request, see

  https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/1969

We don't have any timeline for this issue, but you can see us improving the recording options as we continue to improve BigBlueButton.

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your reply.  Got it, finalizing 2.2 definitely makes more sense for now.  It is very obvious that BBB is actively maintained by highly skilled developers and gets better day by day.  Looking forward to 2.2 final and beyond!

Kind regards,
Romeo
