Hello Everyone, I would like to increase the playback quality of the (webcam) recordings. I have already made the following changes in video.rb:

        parameters: [
          # These settings are appropriate for 640x480 medium quality, and should be tweaked for other resolutions
          # See https://developers.google.com/media/vp9/settings/vod/
          # We use force_key_frames instead of -g to set the GOP size independent of the frame rate
          #%w[-c:v libvpx-vp9 -crf 32 -deadline realtime -cpu-used 8 -force_key_frames expr:gte(t,n_forced*10) -tile-columns 2 -tile-rows 2 -threads 4
          #   -c:a copy
          #   -f webm]
          # Google recommends doing a 2-pass encode for better quality, but it's a lot slower. If you want to do this,
          # comment the lines above, and uncomment the lines below.
          %w[-c:v libvpx-vp9 -vf scale=1920x1080 -b:v 1800K -minrate 900K -maxrate 2610K -crf 31 -quality good -speed 4 -g 240 -tile-columns 2 -threads 8
             -an
             -f webm -pass 1],
          %w[-c:v libvpx-vp9 -vf scale=1920x1080 -b:v 1800K -minrate 900K -maxrate 2610K -crf 31 -quality good -speed 1 -g 240 -tile-columns 2 -threads 8
             -c:a libopus -b:a 48K
             -f webm -pass 2]

And of course bbb-conf --restart executed. The recordings are still converted, but the webcam recordings are still of poor quality. Of course I transmit the webcam with high definition. But the quality during an ongoing conference is very good!
What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much for your advice.
Christian
