Feature : Choose which Recordings to be exported (bbb-origin-server)

[gpallaris]

I am trying to add an option to choose which Recordings to be exported as mp4.

The idea is to read "events.xml" file,check its origin eg. Greenlight, Moodle1, Moodle2, Wordpress1 etc and export mp4 for all the origins except ones from "Greenlight". Please advise.

My Edits at "presentation.rb" :

require File.expand_path('../../../lib/recordandplayback', FILE)
require File.expand_path('../../../lib/recordandplayback/interval_tree', FILE)

include IntervalTree

opts = Optimist.options do
opt :meeting_id, 'Meeting id to archive', type: String
opt :format, 'Playback format name', type: String
opt :log_stdout, 'Log to STDOUT', type: :flag
end

meeting_id = opts[:meeting_id]
playback = opts[:format]

exit(0) if playback != 'presentation'

#####BEGIN OF CHECK XXXXXXXX#####
meeting_metadata = BigBlueButton::Events.get_meeting_metadata("/var/bigbluebutton/recording/raw/#{meeting_id}/events.xml")

File.open("/var/bigbluebutton/recording/raw/#{meeting_id}/events.xml") do |f|
f.each_line do |line|
if line =~ /greenlight/
exit(0)
end
#####END OF CHECK XXXXXXXX#####

REST OF THE CODE

https://github.com/danielpetri1/bbb-recording-exporter/blob/main/presentation.rb#L839

look a few lines below. you can get the origin without looping thru the raw events.
look for origin in metadata
meeting_name = metadata.xpath('recording/meta/meetingName').inner_text

example of getting the name, just need to modify and get the bb-origin-server

thanks a lot @hostbbb .

For anyone is interested to execute @danielpetri1 script for specific recordings only (based on server origin) add the following code in presentation.rb below [exit(0) if playback != 'presentation']

########################################################################
@published_files_origin_check = "/var/bigbluebutton/published/presentation/#{meeting_id}"

metadata = Nokogiri::XML(File.open("#{@published_files_origin_check}/metadata.xml"))
origin_server = metadata.xpath('recording/meta/bbb-origin-server-name').inner_text

exit(0) if origin_server != 'SERVER ORIGIN'

Hi @gpallaris, thanks for the suggestion. Thanks @hostbbb for suggesting a solution.

I'll leave it open since this could potentially be introduced as a CLI option.

Cheers!
