Use metadata.xml or ffprobe to find duration

[marshel]

Hi, instead of setting manually the duration you could set in your script to search for video duration on metadata.xml, getting end time and subtract start time and then divide by 1000 for getting the seconds.

<start_time>1585088145458</start_time> <end_time>1585091756843</end_time>

or use the terminal command below:

ffprobe -i some_video -show_entries format=duration -v quiet -of csv="p=0"
if the meeting was recorded with a webcam.

Best regards.

@marshel , thanks for the suggestion. I'll recommend to use different server for this solution. In my case I have hired a small VPS with 4 vCPU. I can easily run at least 4~5 process at a same time. For getting recordings information I'll recommend to call getRecordings API.

If you are planning to export every meeting's recording then you can use Recording ready callback URL feature. So, when the BBB will complete recording that time you'll get notification & can use bbb-recorder to start it's processing. Here you can use webscoket for communication.
