Local player for downloaded raw data

[krim404]

We possess numerous recordings from BBB that we intend to distribute to the original authors as a downloadable archive. Converting them to MP4 is no option, as they need the chat feature and want to use the preview functions in the timeline.

Currently, the bbb-playback scripts function exclusively when executed from a web server. Is it feasible to create/export the player in a way that allows it to operate directly from a local drive? Like opening a playback.html file within the standard recording files, which include the metadata.xml, etc

Not sure if this works exactly the way you want but you can give it a try https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-playback#standalone-recordings

sadly no, as this requires a webserver as far as i can see. A webbrowser always opens a html file instead of a folder, which results in a blank white page.

I wonder how easy would be to wrap this in an electron app. @frankemax have you ever built one of those using create-react-app?
