Usage
=====
Once installed, bbbdl can be run from the command line.
bbbdl has multiple operating modes; to view them all, run:
.. code-block:: console
$ bbbdl --help
Download mode
-------------
Download mode is used to download and render a single meeting.
This will download and render the meeting at ``MEETING_URL`` and save it as ``OUTPUT_FILE_NAME.mp4``.
.. code-block:: console
$ bbbdl download -i MEETING_URL -o OUTPUT_FILE_NAME.mp4
You can specify a different extension as output file, and ffmpeg will render the video using that codec.
Additional options can be specified; to view the complete list, run:
.. code-block:: console
$ bbbdl download --help
Sync mode
---------
Sync mode is used to batch download all available meetings from a list file, skipping files that were already downloaded
so to not download and render them twice.
All options can be viewed with:
.. code-block:: console
$ bbbdl sync --help
List file
~~~~~~~~~
The list file is a JSON file, containing a single object with filenames as keys and meeting urls as values:
.. code-block:: json
{
"example-1.mp4": "https://example.org/playback/presentation/2.0/playback.html?meetingId=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-1111111111111",
"example-2.mkv": "https://example.org/playback/presentation/2.0/playback.html?meetingId=bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb-2222222222222"
}
It can be on the local machine, or available through HTTPS.
Syncing from a local list file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the JSON file is saved on your computer as `FILENAME.json`, you can sync the contents of the list file with the
current folder by running:
.. code-block:: console
$ bbbdl sync -f FILENAME.json
Syncing from a remote list file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To sync using a JSON file provided through HTTPS, run:
.. code-block:: console
$ bbbdl sync -r https://example.org/my-remote-list.json
