The indexes returned in recording events from BBB refer to positions
within a UTF-16 encoded string. Rather than attempt to untangle this in
the server (which might have a performance cost), it's easier to switch
the caption processing code to operate in UTF-16 encoding as well to
make it work consistently.
The PyICU library provides a UnicodeString type which is a UTF-16 string
similar to Java and JavaScript, but which supports all the python
indexing methods. It's fairly straightforwards to swap it in in place of
the types used previously, and works natively as an input to the ICU
line break iterator too.
Fixes#10531
This commit fixes an issue with reading and writing files.
File.open is used which means that a file will remain open
unless explicilty closed or the program exit. This doesn't work
for an NFS mount as the scripts try to "rm -rf" when the file
is still open. This commit fixes that by replacing all .opens
with .reads
After the last segment of a recording has been archived, it is safe to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kurento webcam/screenshare files after they have been archived.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.
Rather than running the tool in a loop, I'm using inotify to watch for
new files being created (ideally, the other rap workers will be migrated
to this style in the future). The trigger for processing is the creation
of the .json index file for the uploaded track.
This was added to workaround for red5 taking a while to rewrite the
serialized (.ser) data that it streams to disk back to the .flv format.
The workaround is no longer needed, for two reasons:
* The sanity scripts run the red5 code to generate the .flv from the .ser
if needed, and
* We're expecting more people to be using WebRTC media in the future anyways
This makes recordings available up to 2 minutes earlier than they would have
been otherwise.
