I was going to resort to some trickery to make mediasoup raw files end up in the
same directory as KMS to reduce changes, but it ended up being too dirty.
I am adding a third directory (/var/mediasoup) to be tracked by the rap scripts
which is where the new raw files end up in.
Since Meteor was split in multiple process and events started to be
filtered by instances, all Etherpad's Redis events were being discarded.
Etherpad has a Redis' publisher plugin that is unaware of BigBlueButton's
existence. All the communication between them is kept simple with minimal
of internal data exchange. The concept of distincts subscribers at Meteor's
side broke part of this simplicity and, now, Etherpad has to know which
instance must receive it's messages. To provide such information I decided
to include Meteor's instance as part of the pad's id. Should look like:
- [instanceId]padId for the shared notes
- [instanceId]padId_cc_(locale) for the closed captions
With those changes the pad id generation made at the recording scripts had to
be re-done because there is no instance id available. Pad id is now recorded at
akka-apps and queried while archiving the shared notes.
When managing Etherpad's pads, Meteor makes API calls to initiate the closed captions
and shared notes modules. The pad id was being mapped to a shorter id than the meeting
id because of a Etherpad lenght limitation.
Changed to something less guessable.
After the last segment of a recording has been archived, it is safe to
delete the original files that were recorded by the various media
handling components. This patch deletes the freeswitch audio files and
kurento webcam/screenshare files after they have been archived.
It needs to be used in combination with some changes to users/groups and
directory permissions to allow the `bigbluebutton` user to delete files
that it could previously only read.
- some conflicts have been fixed.
The following needs working on:

Parking as need to work on something else.
There's some cases where you can get 0-duration recordings due to
recording event placement (e.g. a single recording event is the last
event in the events.xml). Detect these cases, and treat them like
no recording marks in the archive script (it will stop the recording
from being automatically processed).
I've also adjusted the sanity script to detect these cases and error
out. The recording processing scripts cannot handle 0-length recordings,
you have to manually edit the events. I've added a message to the
sanity log about this.
If no audio files were found, it was running rsync with one argument,
which is a bit unexpected. It just printed a file list in this case, but
we can provide a cleaner error message instead.
It previously checked whether any part of the entire meeting was recorded.
Helper functions are added to look up the time of segment start and end
(which handle non-segmented recordings correctly too).
Part of the events handling code was rewritten to reduce the number of times
that the events.xml file gets parsed.
For now the differences are that the archive worker will run inside
resque (it is a resque worker now) and there is a "rap-trigger" file that
is executed by systemd to detect recordings that need to be archived and
add a job on resque to archive them.
The process os scheduling jobs still needs to be reviewed, but for now will
be done by rap-trigger.
This allows them to be preserved for a period of time, rather than be
deleted immediately. Useful for recovering recordings when someone forgot
to press the record button during the session.
