We have deployed and tested the demo application and we can record just fine.

We already have an existing web site that uses Chime to which we want to add recording. The application isn't deployed on AWS but on a third party server but it calls the Chime SDK.

When we try to record this URL or any external URL (we have tried for example our company's website) we get a video that contains a Firefox window with the following message:

Is this an issue with our EC2 configuration or is it only possible to record something that is hosted on AWS like in the demo application?

Is it possible to run the recording tasks on Fargate?
I tried doing that but couldn't because the docker run requires mounting of volume and Fargate at the moment does not allow that.

Anybody found a way of doing that?

Thanks for your time, I'm having an issue when hitting the endpoint to trigger the recording bot. I got a 404 along with this error:

{
"message": "No method found matching route recording for http method POST."
}

In Postman, I'm using this endpoint:
https://.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Prod/recording?recordingAction=start&meetingURL=https%3A%2F%2F.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2FProd%2Fv2%3Fm%3Dfoo

meeting endpoint:
https://.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Prod/v2/?m=foo

hello

while i am using deploy command from aws cli my stack formation is showing me error and i am not able to get api for video recording

I believe that I followed all steps as per setup. When I tried to start a recording with of format
https://XXX.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Prod/recording?recordingAction=start&meetingURL=XXX_URL I am seeing the following message:
{
"message": "No method found matching route recording for http method POST."
}

Can you please let me know what could be wrong?

Hello Developer Team,

I had followed the same steps but was not able to record a video or audio.

Here is the sample mp4 file which is recorded the meeting.
2020-05-20T09_32_26.zip

We had shared the screen from the browser and also connected to audio devices but neither video nor audio was recorded.

Also, we want to record a video and audio with two devices.

AWS Chime API supports Video recording for android and ios
We used android and ios
https://github.com/aws/amazon-chime-sdk-android
https://github.com/aws/amazon-chime-sdk-ios

If we want to achieve features like video calling conference and recording a complete conference with video how we can achieve this?

Please help.

Thank you

Followed the steps mentioned in the readme. API Gateway has no POST method for "recording" and hence cannot start or stop recording from Postman

I deregister the task definition of ECS, remove the cluster. Deactivate API gateway. But when I redo from step 1, it always returns the error until I change the region.

Hey Team, Thanks for this awesome resource !

Issue Context: I am using react aws chime ContentShare Component. [The share quality in the meeting is quite good ], but the recording quality in s3 is relatively low.

Attached screenshots :

Live Screenshare quality:

Recoding Screenshare quality:

I have tried

1. changing bitrate to 5k/6k,
2. setting min-max range for bitrate [3-6k]
3. Increased frame rate to 60
4. '-pix_fmt', 'yuv444p',
5. Changed preset : '-preset', 'ultrafast',
6. Changed to lossless compression : '-qp', '0',

PS: Internet Connectivity is good

In the demo, it requires only these instances and they are not free. Can I add the free instance type "Micro" for this?

  • t2.xlarge
  • t2.2xlarge

Recording results in video/audio out of sync. This does not happen when actively connected via the web app.

Ive noticed several times the audio (up to a min) is missing from the beginning of the video.

Any info/direction appreciated.

Hi there,

All recorded meetings seem to have "DNS over HTTPs" warning. Is it just me or it is a known issues? See below screenshot

hello
when i call stop recording api its returns me json data but in this json data there no details of recorded video stored path.
how to achieve it.

Hi, thanks for your project.

I have a question. What if I want to handle a custom name. I don't want that date/time name.

Or how can I have a reference to the mp4 object in S3.

If I have hundreds of recordings, how can I reference each one without going to S3 bucket and manually check one by one.

I've already tried modifying the index.js file. Passing a meetingId as environment parameter and then in recording.js use that name to upload the file to S3. But, I can see there is no name changed.

Index.js
`
function startRecording(event, context, callback, meetingUrl, meetingId) {
let ecsRunTaskParams = {
cluster: ecsClusterArn,
launchType: "EC2",
count: 1,
overrides: {
containerOverrides: [
{
environment: [
{
name: "MEETING_URL",
value: meetingUrl
},
{
name: "RECORDING_ARTIFACTS_BUCKET",
value: recordingArtifactsBucket
},
{
name: "FILE_NAME",
value: meetingId
}
],
name: ecsContainerName
}
],
},
placementConstraints: [{
type: "distinctInstance"
}],
taskDefinition: ecsTaskDefinationArn
};

ecs.runTask(ecsRunTaskParams, function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);   // an error occurred
        response.statusCode = err.statusCode;
        response.body = JSON.stringify(err, null, ' ');
        context.succeed(response);
    }
    else {
        console.log(data);  // successful response
        response.statusCode = 200;
        response.body = JSON.stringify((data.tasks.length && data.tasks[0].taskArn) ? data.tasks[0].taskArn : data, null, ' ');
        context.succeed(response);
    }
});

}
`

record.js

`
const NEW_FILE_NAME = process.env.FILE_NAME;

const fileName = ${year}/${month}/${day}/${hour}/test${NEW_FILE_NAME}.mp4;

new S3Uploader(BUCKET_NAME, fileName).uploadStream(transcodeStreamToOutput.stdout);
`

Hi,

Could someone help me in the configuration needed to only record audio, not video ?

Thanks,
Ravi V.

• Have looked through all the docs.
• I have also deployed the stack/ecr etc according to the docs.
• Deployed the server less demo as well.

From what I understand, the recording code is basically a hack/bot that NEEDS to know the public URL of meeting that is taking place. The Bot then visits the page as an attendee and records the page.

What if the meeting is behind a user name password authentication on a private server? What If I don't want to use server less demo? What If i just want to use the AWS SDK for recording?

Is that even possible right now?

hello
i use chime sdk java script and build an solution, for video recording now i am using your chime video recording sdk and passing my server's meeting url. whenever i start a video recording recording start but when i am recording more meeting than max ec2 instance limit for auto scaling . then its gives error

"tasks": [],
"failures": [
{
"arn": "arn:aws:ecs:ap-southeast-1:131006341016:container-instance/3ac0eaba-341c-4f12-96da-27e38b8dee5d",
"reason": "DistinctInstance placement constraint unsatisfied."
}
]
is one instance able to record only one meeting at a time

It is possible that when the recording stops, it returns the id of the S3 object URL ?
Or pass it a name parameter, to be used as a name in the S3 object

Kind Regards

@rohit0337 You can find the recording in an S3 bucket named chime-meeting-sdk-<aws-account-id>-<region>-recordings. E.g. chime-meeting-sdk-1234567890-us-east-1-recordings

This is pointed out in the README section Stop the recording and view the recording artifact point number 2

Once the recording stops, open the AWS Console and navigate to Amazon S3. You will find a recording in the bucket chime-meeting-sdk-<aws-account-id>-<region>-recordings, with a key name YYYY/MM/DD/HH/.mp4.

Hi Team,

I'm getting following error. Whenever i execute the API G/W with start action, i'm getting following error under Task --> Container --> Status Reason & the task status changes to STOPPED.

CannotPullContainerError: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for my-docker-image, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login': denied: requested access to the resource is denied

I've integrated the browser demo Chime SDK in React app & have made required provision for Recorder-Bot as attendee in the meeting. I'm testing the recording feature locally & passing the following URL in POST call with URL encoded.

http://localhost:3000/meeting?m=12345&record=true

Pls let me know if you need any more details.

Thanks.

Hi, I already deploy the cloud formation, everything works fine, however I would like to have control over the video name from the recording.
I saw this old pull request (#42), I know I can edit the lambda function as the PR suggest, but, where can I find the record.js file to edit too? or do I have to deploy the cloud formation again with the record.js file edited? or is there another way to change the name?

Hi aws chime recording support.

I'm experiencing an issue when passing a url like a youtube video link, as soon as the audio starts to playing I get firefox crash screen.

wondering if you guys have any insight around that ?

I'm creating a localhost service based on your recording mechanism.

Thanks

Command sam failed with exit code 1 signal null
Error: Failed to create/update the stack: rushabh-recording-stack, Waiter StackCreateComplete failed: Waiter encountered a terminal failure state

Followed all steps, but the recording bot is stuck in the input screen

Is it not possible for the bot to directly go to the meeting screen ?

Command sam failed with exit code 1 signal null
Error: Failed to create/update the stack: demoxyzstack2, Waiter StackCreateComplete failed: Waiter encountered a terminal failure state

Any advice?

After following all the instructions, the recording was not of the full web page (as described in the instructions). Instead, the movie was of a recording of a web console. I'm attaching a screenshot:

Where do I get the token it's referring to, and where do I put it?

Good afternoon. I need to be able to record multiple Chime streams at the same time. How can all this be done?

Is there a way to fix that?

The capacity provider created by the deploy script isn't actually used when specifying a launchType when calling runTask. To use the created capacity providers, the launchType should be dropped from the parameters as that will cause the default (and in this case only) capacity provider to be used.

I do believe that not providing a launchType means there HAS to be a capacity provider present, so i am not sure that is the way to go for this demo or whether this behaviour should simply be documented.

Hey I noticed that my audio and video are off by a second or two. I noticed there's a settting in record.js

https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-chime-sdk-recording-demo/blob/master/recording/record.js#L53

Should I adjust this to get rid of they delay? If so what would the values be? It seems the audio is ahead of the video.

The instructions in the README failed at this step:

I setup the environment as described. Everything is working fine recording is created in S3 bucket , screen and videos are captured perfectly but audio is missing. No audio is recorded at all. @anuranduttaroy

API created from provided template - /recording doesn't allow CORS. Since the use case is to enable recording from user browser, it would be great to enable CORS as a part of API setup.

When metting page has chinese or japanese. It can't be display in the record. Like chat message.

hello
i use chime sdk java script and build an solution, for video recording now i am using your chime video recording sdk and passing my server's meeting url. whenever i start a video recording its create a instance due to auto scaling, if at a time there is two meetings going on there is two ec2 instance. but after stopping video recording instance is there autoscaling not terminating it or stopping it.

Hi, I have a big issue I noticed sometimes the video is not storage in S3, what I usually do is: after calling the API with action "start" it returns a regular taskId (arn:aws:......), I storage that info in my database and when the user wants to stop it, he calls the action "stop", everything goes well so far, when the time comes I call the action "stop" and what I expect is to have the video object in S3, but sometimes there is not file and I didn't get any error from calling the API when I am trying to stop it, so why could this happened and how can be solved?

I'm really worried because this recording feature is already in production and I say to the customer it is recording, when sometimes it probably doesn't

What I think is it could be related to concurrent recording meeting and the autoscaling instances for each recording

Sometimes the recorded file is corrupted. We get the below message when tried to play the mp4

Choose something else to play. This item is in a format we don't support.

Is there any specific setting required other than the default code in the repo ?

Thanks,
Ravi V.

Hi Team,

Where should I get a meeting URL, to pass when the recording starts.

Below are the parameters we are getting when the meeting created

public class Meeting
{
    public Meeting();
    public MediaPlacement MediaPlacement { get; set; } 
    public string MediaRegion { get; set; }  
    public string MeetingId { get; set; }
}

public class MediaPlacement
{
    public MediaPlacement();

    public string AudioFallbackUrl { get; set; } 
    public string AudioHostUrl { get; set; } 
    public string ScreenDataUrl { get; set; } 
    public string ScreenSharingUrl { get; set; } 
    public string ScreenViewingUrl { get; set; } 
    public string SignalingUrl { get; set; } 
    public string TurnControlUrl { get; set; }
}

can u please tell me the steps.

Thanks

After several attempts, I was able to complete the setup and start a meeting, using Postman to start and stop the recording process as recommended. I have now run the demo a few times and what I've realized is the recording bot is never joining the meeting, although I do receive a 200 response from the API Post with recordingAction=start. I've tried using both versions of the meeting URL generated from the second Node script. I can login in as a participant with either URL, but the recording bot never shows up.

Hi, I couldn't follow all the Walkthrough with Cloud9 always getting this error:
"Error processing tar file(exit status 1): write /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0.2200.30: no space left on device
Makefile:17: recipe for target 'build_upload' failed"

How can this be fixed?

Also, I am using the setup recommended for Cloud9

Hi,

Recording bot is not joining. The entire setup was fine.
I see in the ECS logs the below message:
(firefox:62): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: 15:02:21.586: Unable to get session bus: Failed to execute child process ?dbus-launch? (No such file or directory)
Could someone help?

Thanks,
Ravi.

I have integrated the AWS chime to my application, but I'm facing difficulty in the recording where it requires the meeting URL to record. The meeting is inside the same client application but we don't open the meeting in a separate window.
So how do we construct the meeting URL fr recording, we have the meeting Id.
@anuranduttaroy @aburnson @vidya-mohan

The meeting recorder doesn't join the meeting. The recorded video stays:

Our demo application has been modified to suppress prompts for input device permissions and display customized UI for the recording bot.

Where is the modified client that suppresses the prompts? The meeting app in the sdk demos still seems to have the prompts.

When i start recording, I got an error like below.
I don't know what error this is and how to fix it, can you help me?
