Docs

• Frontend: LocalRecorder object in openvidu-browser-1.8.0.js is used to record a media stream and to upload it to certain endpoint.
• Backend: A Java Spring Boot app exposing 3 HTTP REST endpoints:
  • POST /recording: receives a recording as a MultiPart file and stores it locally.
  • GET /recording/{recordingName}: serves one recording with certain name.
  • GET /recording/all: returns an array with all the recording names for which the user has permissions.

A simple security protocol is implemented in the backend. All REST methods are secured under Basic Authentication, and 2 users are predefined:

• user:pass
• admin:admin

Any authenticated user can perform uploads. For downloads, user admin has the highest level of granted permissions, and therefore has access to all video recordings. User user has access to their own recorded videos only.
