eduMeet Recorder

Getting started

For example, given that you have the following URI:

• https://letsmeet.no/test-edumeet-recorder

Steps to run the minimal example are:

1. git clone https://github.com/edumeet/edumeet-recorder.git
2. cd edumeet-recorder
3. docker build -t edumeet-recorder . (few minutes to half an hour building)
4. docker run -v /tmp:/records --rm -it --network=host edumeet-recorder
5. Open in browser: https://letsmeet.no/test-edumeet-recorder
6. Use curl to start recording:

curl \
  -i \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{"type":"uri", \
                 "data":{"bitrate":6000, \
                "uri":"https://letsmeet.no/test-edumeet-recorder?headless=true&displayName=recorder", \
                "stream_uri":"","mode":"record"}}' \
  -X POST http://127.0.0.1:34568/api/start

7. Use curl stop to stop recording:

curl \
  -i \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{"id":1}' \
  -X POST http://127.0.0.1:34568/api/stop

Notes:

• headless=true -- is used to skip the login/user/landing screen for eduMeet (a temporary hack)
