janus-pp-rec?

[Zu zu]

Fist time user here and I was hoping to play with the janus-pp-rec utility -- can anybody quickly help me get going?

I've built janus with --enable-post-processing but I'm not sure what that did :) I expected to see it show up in /opt/janus/bin??

Thanks and awesome project btw

Not sure if we install the post-processor to the bin folder, I guess we should. Anyway, you'll find it in the processing subfolder of the project.

Just checked and we do install it to the bin folder. Of course you need to do a make install for this to happen.

Update:

janus-pp-rec is working great, however I'm now having an issue with the unprocessed recordings showing up in weird places when using the videoroom plugin.

it seems that the "rec_dir" is being ignored, and the recordings instead end up in whatever directory im in when i start the janus server?? i am configuring the room on the fly in js (other things seem to work, ie, i have users in the session, and the recording is enabled, its just the location doesnt seem to be applied)

to reproduce:

1. navigate to /opt/janus/bin and run janus

 

2. in js i update the room: message = { "request": "configure", "room": theRoom, "record": true, "rec_dir": "/var/www/html/recordings" };

the recording is enabled for the room, but the recordings end up in /opt/janus/bin

if i were in my home directory, and simply typed /opt/janus/bin/janus, the recordings end up in the home directory

i'll continue to test, but as i recall when i specified the directory in a config file, it worked. but my hope now is to have dynamic rooms so the recording directory cannot be specified in advance

any insight is welcome.. hopefully im just a noob and its not a bug

cheers

Sounds like a bug, can you open an issue on the github project?

On my case the records after a configure request are saved in root folder '/'. rec_dir param is ignored. If I set record param before create the videoroom it works and records are saved in the rec_dir folder

[Lorenzo Miniero]

You can specify "rec_dir" in a "create" request, to have different rooms recorded in different folders. Same applies to rec_dir in the configuration file.

Yes and it works. The problem is when I specify "rec_dir" in a "configure" request. In this case records is always saved in root folder "/" ignoring the "rec_dir"

[Lorenzo Miniero]

rec_dir is not part of the "configure" arguments format. You can only specify "record" and "filename", where filename is relative to the room's rec_dir, if available, or an absolute path, if not.

Oh, that's true, thanks Lorenzo!
