2. In bbb-recording-importer
   • Unit tests for parsing and persisting recording metadata can be found in src/test/java/org/bigbluebutton/recording/
   • Edit the "metadataDirectory" variables in the test files to point to where the recording metadata can be found
   • Run the unit tests using the command "mvn test"

Testing the new recording service

1. In bigbluebutton-web

   • Use "org.bigbluebutton.api.service.impl.RecordingServiceFileImpl" if you want to use the traditional file system service
2. In bbb-recording-imex
   • Use the get-recordings.sh script to test the getRecordings endpoint on the recording API

   • The script accepts arguments through the use of flags
     • "-i" for the meetingID
     • "-r" for the recordID(s)
     • "-s" for the state(s)
