Hello,
I have been using Matterhorn with Big Blue Button to process recorded
webinars. Everything is working, but now I'm trying to integrate some video
management functionality into an LMS.
My goal is to get a list of available videos (which is working using the
search service), and give the user the ability to publish/unpublish videos
and delete them from within the LMS.

At the moment I am using the search delete service to delete videos.
However, this only deletes them from the search index and doesn't delete
the files (they are still listed in the UI).  From what I've found online,
it looks like I can delete them by using the workflow stop service.  I
tried it using the sample forms for the services that came with Matterhorn,
and it does remove it from the ui.  I didn't check to see if the files were
actually gone though.

The problem with the workflow stop service is that it requires a "workflow
id" which I can find in the ui.  But when I use the search service to get a
listing, it returns an id, but not the one that matches the workflow id.  I
thought I could get a listing of workflows using a keyword search for the
id that I get from the search listing, but I'm getting a 404 response from
the server (using the sample forms that came with Matterhorn) for it -
actually for many of the workflow services actually (but not all).  Anyone
know why this is happening?

I'm thinking the best approach is to unpublish/publish with the search
services, however it looks like the add service requires xml that contains
more information than the original id.  I was hoping to just pass it an id,
have matterhorn unpublish it (no problem here - can just delete it from the
search index), then pass a service an id and it publishes it (again it
appears it can't be added back with just an id).  Is there a way to do
that?  Then use the workflow stop service to actually delete the video (if
I could find a way to get the associated workflow id).

Is this possible?  Or are there alternatives that I am unaware of?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!
Charity
