Multiple rooms recording

[rafael2k]

Hi there,

In order to record multiple rooms, I should create one docker per room I want to record, right?

Hi,

Currently, yes that would most likely be the easiest way to get it working. Though there is currently no support for having multiple recorders tied to a single Nextcloud instance, as there is no logic for it in the client.

I'll try this "multiple talked dockers" setup this week. I understand multiple talked dockers as just multiple firefox instances connecting to different rooms (this is what I want). No problem with this, right? Btw, I tested talked to record a room - and it works perfectly - thanks a lot for your software!!
I was trying to use a standalone WebRTC client... (based on gstreamer), and it was not fun.

The biggest issue with that setup might be proper handling of audio. To get the video shouldn't be too much of an issue. Some development is needed to implement the logic to manage the different Xorg virtual framebuffers, as they are needed to actually record the call. But for audio I don't have any good way for dealing with the separate audio devices so that the audio for each call can be recorded separately. It should be doable, but I'm currently unsure about how best to do it.

I appreciate the kind words!

We can use named audio devices in pulseaudio to properly route the audio from each firefox instance to different ffmpeg instances. I'll take a look on it.

With pulseaudio ffmpeg input we can definitely have multiple instances. Checking how the best way to integrate this.

Awesome! Yeah, it should definitely be possible
