This function is useful any place you want the matched recording marks
with timestamps rebased so 0 is the start of the meeting, I've used it
for chat analysis, for example.
There is no functional change here, it only exposes the extra function
for recording scripts or dropin/post scripts to use.
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.
We still use the recording status files to externally monitor the
progress of the recordings. Let's keep these files for now until
we figure out a different way to track the status of the recording.
This incorporates only the audio desync related changes from #11626
* Add the aresample filter with async option to fill in timestamp gaps
* Use the libopus decoder for opus audio instead of ffmpeg's builtin
decoder
This gives the following advantages over the previous code:
* The ffmpeg input filters are loaded from a filter "script" file instead
of passed on the command line. This fixes some cases of recordings
failing to process because the ffmpeg command line generated for the
audio processing exceeded the max command line length limit. (Although
that only really happens due to BBB bugs...)
* Use absolute positions when trimming audio segments for cuts.
Previously segments were trimmed to the length of the segment, and the
results were concatenated. There's some possibility of accumulated
errors in the segment lengths causing audio desync over time. The new
code incrementally concatenates the segments, and cuts each segment
end based on the absolute time since the start of the meeting, to
avoid error accumulation.
use libopus decoder and encoder, its better than built-in ffmpeg/flac
don't mix screenshare audio with mics, was generating desync with bad audio segments, encode it together with video file (TODO: needs adjustments in playback)
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.
The previous implementation of the BigBlueButton.execute method runs the
process with separate stdout and stderr streams. It first reads all of
the output from stdout, then reads all of the output from stderr.
This can cause a deadlock if the process writes a lot of data to stderr.
The IO buffer for stderr could fill, blocking progress. But since it
hasn't closed stdout, the ruby script is still waiting on a read to
stdout.
Switch to an execution method (using IO.popen) that allows combining
stdout and stderr into a single stream, eliminating the issue.
On my server 2.3 alpha, the method metadata_for(meeting_id) gives back {}
(empty Hash). Thus "return if meeting_metadata.nil?" does not occur.
Does @redis.hgetall give {} instead of nil, even though there is a comment in
node_modules/redis/lib/utils.js "hgetall converts its replies to an Object. If
the reply is empty, null is returned"???

Update the list of invalid characters based on what the XML
specification permits and discourages.
Use the ruby string `scrub` method to remove invalid characters that
can't be expressed in the `tr` syntax, like unpaired surrogates and
UTF-8 prefix bytes.
I've moved the workers code into the `lib` subdirectory with other library-ish
code; this puts it into the ruby load path used by most scripts so referencing
files is easier.
I've applied various style cleanups based on the rubocop config present.
The `events` processing step has been integrated as a new worker `EventsWorker`,
there is no longer a separate `events/events.rb` script. I've reworked the
`rap-starter.rb` script to check for the done files in both the events and
recorded status directories.
Changed only in the main class so journald is the default and in the
scripts related to the processes in resque. Internal scripts might still
be logging to files.
