By default BBB is not generating a single file for a recording. There is a web view that displays all the data of the recording together and you can also download all separate files e.g. presentation, webcams, chat, whiteboard etc. Also if you search on Github for bigbluebutton recording etc. you will find a lot of scripts that help you to download all these files.
Yes these are probably the same EDLs. I think you should test all this with our demo server.
- How does video recording stop and start? Is it when everyone has left the room? Can this be manually triggered?
There is a button in the meeting to start/stop recording.
- How are files labeled? There are a maximum of 18 talks that could be recorded this year, that’s at least 36 different video files assuming they all have slides and only one presenter source. It’s not the end of the world if they’re not labeled and I’m cool with sorting some things through at the end of each day but if there’s a system for this that could make the pipeline easier for me that’d be cool!
The folder containing all the files of the recording is named with the internal meeting id (which are just numbers and characters) but I think you can get from the meeting with it’s name to that url via Greenlight.
- Can videos be saved as widescreen 16:9? I googled this and apparently it was a feature on the flash client but may or may not have been implemented in the HTML5 one, if anyone knows the answer to this that’d be super cool. Super bonus points if we can go above 240p resolution too.
I think this is not possible atm. But maybe just test it?
