This instructions below are for testing by running scripts manually:
1. Create some temp scratch dirs:
mkdir -p ~/temp/log/presentation ~/temp/recording/{process,publish,raw} ~/temp/recording/status/{recorded,archived,processed,sanity} ~/temp/published
2. Edit core/scripts/bigbluebutton.yml and comment out the PRODUCTION dirs while uncommenting the DEVELOPMENT dir. The dir should match what you created above.
raw_audio_src: /var/freeswitch/meetings
raw_video_src: /usr/share/red5/webapps/video/streams
raw_deskshare_src: /var/bigbluebutton/deskshare
raw_presentation_src: /var/bigbluebutton
redis_host: 127.0.0.1
redis_port: 6379
# For PRODUCTION
log_dir: /var/log/bigbluebutton
recording_dir: /var/bigbluebutton/recording
published_dir: /var/bigbluebutton/published
playback_host: 10.0.3.203
# For DEVELOPMENT
# This allows us to run the scripts manually
#scripts_dir: /home/ubuntu/dev/bigbluebutton/record-and-playback/core/scripts
#log_dir: /home/ubuntu/temp/log
#recording_dir: /home/ubuntu/temp/recording
#published_dir: /home/ubuntu/temp/published
#playback_host: 192.168.22.137
3. Create a recording using BigBlueButton. After logging out, it should have created a <meeting-id>.done file in
/var/bigbluebutton/recording/status/recorded dir. Make note of this meeting-id as we use that to tell the script
which recording to process.
4. Before running the scripts, we have to make sure our scripts have the PATHs setup correctly.
Edit presentation/scripts/process/presentation.rb and uncomment the DEVELOPMENT PATH while
commenting the PRODUCTION PATH. We need to do this so the script will be able to find the
core library.
5. Now we run the archive step. Go to record-and-playback/core/scripts dir and type
ruby archive/archive.rb -m <meeting-id>
6. If everything goes well, you should have the raw files in ~/temp/recording/raw/<meeting-id>
You can also check the logs at ~/temp/log/archive-<meeting-id>.log
You should also have an entry in ~/temp/recording/status/archived dir
7. Then we need to do a sanity check if the raw recordings are complete. Type
ruby sanity/sanity.rb -m <meeting-id>
Check the log in ~/temp/log/sanity.log
You should also have an entry in ~/temp/recording/status/sanity dir
8. Assuming the recording passed the sanity check, it's time to process the recording.
cd record-and-playback/presentation/scripts
ruby process/presentation.rb -m <meeting-id>
You can monitor the progress by tailing the log at ~/temp/log/presentation/process-<meeting-id>.log
9. Assuming that everything goes well. We can now run the publish script. However, we need to cheat a little bit.
The publish script will be looking for a "processing_time" file which contains information on how long the
processing took. Unfortunately, that file is created by the rap-worker.rb script which we don't run.
So we create that file manually at
vi ~/temp/recording/process/presentation/<meeting-d>/processing_time
Enter any number (e.g. 46843) and save the file.
10. Now run the publish script
ruby publish/presentation.rb -m <meeting-id>-presentation
Notice we appended "presentation" to the meeting-id, this will tell the script to publish using the "presentation" format.
