Re: interrupted screen recording raw file?
You can avoid this going forward by first checking whether the recording file is locked. Guacamole acquires an advisory lock on recordings while they are in progress, and releases the lock when they're complete. This is how the "guacenc" tool is able to detect in-progress recordings. - Mike On Fri, Feb 11, 2022, 10:22 Tushar Sheth wrote: > That's what I figured- thanks! > > Tushar > > On Fri, Feb 11, 2022 at 12:43 PM Nick Couchman wrote: > >> On Fri, Feb 11, 2022 at 12:10 PM Tushar Sheth >> wrote: >> >>> We made a script to automate processing of screen recording raw files to >>> mp4. >>> >>> The script starts by pushing raw files from our guacamole server to >>> google cloud storage and then to a second server where the processing >>> happens. >>> >>> Of course, we didn't test this enough (argh!!) and our script pushed a >>> raw file out of the guac server during an active session that we were >>> recording- in other words, the raw file was still getting added to. >>> >>> As a result of this, we only have in the raw file what happened before >>> the file was pushed.

interrupted screen recording raw file?
We made a script to automate processing of screen recording raw files to mp4. The script starts by pushing raw files from our guacamole server to google cloud storage and then to a second server where the processing happens. Of course, we didn't test this enough (argh!!) and our script pushed a raw file out of the guac server during an active session that we were recording- in other words, the raw file was still getting added to. As a result of this, we only have in the raw file what happened before the file was pushed. After that, it seems that no further data collection for the screen recording occured (no new continuing raw file was created for the remainder of the active session). I know it's a long shot, but any ideas on whether guacamole may have continued building a raw file or collecting that data somewhere? Tushar
