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.
Collects the shared notes' HTML raw data and publishes it along with the other
recording files. The playback will fetch for this file and include an option to
display it's content over the chat.
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
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.
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
The "originalFilename" tag is not present in "SharePresentationEvent", and thus presentation_filename would never be "default.pdf". As a consequence, the thumbnails are always generated from the default.pdf.
Playback a presentation does not start on iPad with iPadOS 13 and higher.
The root cause is that `mobileAndTabletCheck` does not detect an iPad as mobile device.
The reasons for this are discussed here: https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect/issues/795
A way to detect Safari on IPadOS as mobile device is described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60553965
I've added a function `detectLyingiOS13iPad` to work around this problem.
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.
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.
Write a tool that generates the poll svg images directly from the
BBB poll description. This avoids the issues with special characters
in the gnuplot labels, and gives us a lot more flexibility in how
the polls are formatted and styled.
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.
Instead of being executed every 30s by systemd, it's now a service that's
running all the time and will wait for .done files to start the processing
of recordings.
