The webinterface didn't work, if HMAC authentication was enabled.
To make this work, the webinterface downloads the HMAC from the
server and stores it in the local storage of the browser. The
download URL is secured by Basic Auth. The credentials are configured
in the server.json
Implementing #142.
This has feature has the disadvantage, that the recording is always detected as still
recording, because the finished state is assumed by the existence of the playlist file.
Since the JavaFX integrated browser does not work reliably for recaptcha and in general does not behave like standard browsers, I now use an external browser for the logins. The dependency to javafx-web has been removed.
The external browser is based on electron, which uses chromium as internal browser. The implementation can be found at https://github.com/0xboobface/ctbrec-minimal-browser
The browser is a minimal browser, which only shows the web page content without any other controls. It is launched by ctbrec in a new process and remote controlled over a socket connection. I first tried to control it via
stdin/stdout, but it turns out, that stdin is not supported by electron on windows.
This is the first version with working downloads for SD and HD. These
dowloads only work, if you are logged in. So at the moment you have to set the
session ID in the settings to make this work. The session ID can be copied
from a valid session in a browser.
Add a setting to toggle live previews. When switched off, the thumbnails
won't show the trigger and the recording table won't show the column.
I did this, because the MediaPlayer sometimes bugs out. It then opens a
lot of connections and further tries to open a stream end in an
exception in the playlist parser.
If there is less space left on the device than specified by the setting,
the recorder will stop all recordings and don't start new ones until
the free space rises above this threshold again.
