    I'm able to run BBB from Moodle and it says it records. These don't show up in recordsbn, though. It's just a blank list. When I run bbb-record --list on the BBB server it shows:

    Also, this might help. When I watch the video on http://www.blindsidenetworks.com/integrations/moodle/ at 4:35 he has the screen to end the session. I don't ever see that. When I click logout in BBB it puts me back at the course page in Moodle. Not sure if that has anything to do with it... Also, I didn't set a "length" for recording settings on the BBB activity.

    After going back and forth with David, we figured out why it wasn't working on his setup.


    Also, with my custom Moodle theme I found out I was having trouble with the polling JS that waits for moderators to join. I load up Jquery in my theme (it uses the Cover user theme, but it’s heavily modified). Yesterday I told Fred about the Javascript not loading my recordings list and it turned out that my jQuery was conflicting with BBB’s.

    I couldn’t seem to fix it while retaining my theme’s functionality by deferring jQuery to my theme’s footer, but deferring the jQuery and scripts that BBB loads to the footer seems to have fixed the conflict.


    In recordingbn’s view.php:

    $PAGE->requires->js('/mod/recordingsbn/js/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js');

    $PAGE->requires->js('/mod/recordingsbn/js/libs/dataTables/1.9.1/jquery.dataTables.min.js');

    $PAGE->requires->js('/mod/recordingsbn/js/recordingsbn.js');



    In BBB’s view.php:

    $PAGE->requires->js('/mod/bigbluebuttonbn/js/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js');

    $PAGE->requires->js('/mod/bigbluebuttonbn/js/libs/heartbeat/0.1.1/heartbeat.js');

    $PAGE->requires->js('/mod/bigbluebuttonbn/js/bigbluebuttonbn.js');



    In both cases I removed the ‘true’ parameter that loads them in the header.

    Hope this helps anyone else using this module.

    I'm able to run BBB from Moodle 2.4 and it says it records. These don't show up in recordsbn. I can hear the sound and the messages. I can;t see anything else, just the welcome screen. http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/playback/slides/playback.html?meetingId=7eebe11dd95baa9c3906a691a56b01ee17b6e7a0-1357143300932

    Thank a lot

    Hi Vasilis, you are using the BigBlueButtonBN plugin with BigBlueButton 0.80, our current release, which records slides + audio + chat. If you don't upload any slides, you'll see the BigBlueButton logo and welcome screen. For more information, see: http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/ReleaseNotes#Release_0.8:_Bailetti
