BBB Recording Downloader

A simple script to download a public recording of a BigBlueButton instance.

The resulting file only contains the screenshare and the audio, no webcams.

Setup

This should work on all GNU/Linux systems. You have to have perl, wget and ffmpeg installed.

Get the URL of the recording. If you can watch the recording in your browser, this URL should be it.

The URL may look like the following: https://conf.fsfe.org/playback/presentation/2.0/playback.html?meetingId=123abc456def-789ghi0j

Then, in your terminal (replace the URL obviously!):

./bbb-download.sh https://conf.fsfe.org/playback/presentation/2.0/playback.html?meetingId=123abc456def-789ghi0j
