Parking as need to work on something else.
This improves the quality of portrait documents, before they were
1200px when landscape documents got 1600px.
Switching to scaling to a square means that we can use the "-scale-to"
option on pdftocaio, which means that it generates images directly
at the desired size. This can save quite a bit of time (and memory)
if a document was uploaded with extremely large page size.
Some old recordings might have invalid or legacy encoding stuff
in the text files. To allow processing to continue, just re-encode int
UTF-8 with the invalid option set to replace, to remove the invalid
characters.
This is just a bundle of a few things I've been fixing up in the past
while.
= Workaround for BBB 1.1 beta deskshare timestamp bug
This is unlikely to be used, but I have the code for it, might as
well merge it in.
= Rework video tiling code for ffmpeg
Render video using the 'hstack' and 'vstack' filters rather than the
'overlay' filter. This is somewhat faster, particularly with lots of
videos.
= Etc.
- Remove usage of the streamio-ffmpeg gem.
The video rendering code has some stuff to directly read 'ffprobe'
output, so re-use that instead of this gem (which is kind of old and
has issues with newer ffmpeg versions).
- Don't hardcode the deskshare video area size, pull it from the
properties file
- Remove some code that worked around missing video end events.
In some cases this could cause flickering or strange video issues.
It's no longer strictly needed, the new tiling code doesn't break if
the seekpoint is after the end of the video.
This is a demo. Some issues:
- When sharing desktop, cursor is still relative to slides, and not to deskshare video;
- Need to show whiteboard canvas on top of deskshare video as well;
- Need more testing (audio/video sync, playback perfomance, multiple presenters and multiple deskshare events).
Right now the captions are only rendered if there's a video present. If
the meeting doesn't have a video (webcam or desktop sharing), we'll need
to just make up a blank one.
This shouldn't normally be hit... but if it ever is, the processing will
fail with an error, since the Logger class doesn't have a method named
'warning'.
We now use ghostscript to output pngs directly from the original pdf,
rather than using convert on the split pages. This should make corrupt
or strange pdfs less likely to cause issues.
As well, if a pdf page conversion fails (for any reason, including that
the original pdf is missing...) it will be logged, and a blank page
generated, and processing will continue.
I've been working on this for a while, and it's adapted from code that
has been fairly well-tested on a wide variety of recordings. I've found
it to do a more accurate job of combining multiple webcam files, and it
should be more accurate in the audio as well.
Another key feature is that it does fewer re-encoding steps during video
processing, which should both speed it up and hopefully improve quality.
The settings on the VP8 encoder have been tuned somewhat as well.
