Recordings: Record button and how to delete recordings from the filesystem

[Thibault Le Meur <Th...@supelec.fr>]

Hi,

I've got 2 questions about the recording feature.

The first one is relative to the "Recording button" which I can never see.
I tried to modify the following parameter in
webapps/openmeetings/config.xml, but I see no difference while in the
conference room.
<!--
    Show the recorder buttons in the Conference Rooms
    visible = yes
    hidden = no
 -->
<showRecording>visible</showRecording>

Is the only way to record a conference to launch the Share Screen
application and choose record screen (which works fine by the way) ?


My second question is relative to the recorded files. They are stored in
webapps/openmeetings/streams. Even if i delete them in the GUI, they
aren't deleted from the filesystem.
Is it normal ? Can we safely purge these files by a cron script (this
would need an SQL query to be sure they aren't referenced in the app
anymore) ?

Thanks in advance,
Thibault

Hi Daniel,

I had no answer on this question so far. But since recording from the
screen-sharing application works, I haven't searched further.

Sorry,
Thibault

I have the same issue. I don't see a difference between "hidden" and
"visible". There is also no difference if in a room the "Allow
recording" flag is set or not.

Did you find an answer to your question above? I would be grateful if
you could share your knowledge about this issue.

This is also my installed version

Thanks you very much
