Downloader for bigbluebutton presentations

I need a single executable file works on Windows, Mac-Os or Linux systems. This software also needs ffmepg executable on your path, capable of encoding with parameter libx264

Program asks for url of presentation, then downloads slides, creates slides.mp4, downloads webcams.webm, creates webcams.mp4, then merges slides.mp4 and webcams.mp4 side by side. Unfortunately cursor movements, desktop share, chat windows is not included. Best way to include them is, clone and build the code from https://github.com/jibon57/bbb-recorder on a Linux system.

What I share is a proof of concept software, programmed in Oldskool fashion, straight 200 lines of code. This is also my first program coded with go language. If you want to see the downloaded pictures, and created videos before deleted, comment two lines near the end of the code

os.RemoveAll(presentationId+"/")  // delete temporary dir
err = os.Remove("video_list.txt") // delete video-list file

I didn't try the code on Linux or Mac-OS systems, but I expect no problem

Do-not use it. It consumes so much processor sources, and can't show cursor movements, desktop share, chat windows. Use https://github.com/jibon57/bbb-recorder on Linux instead. bbb-recorder uses codes from puppetcam depends on xvfb which doesn't exist for Windows operating system. For windows 10 compatible puppetcam look at: https://github.com/Ventricule/html2screen
