- Add avatar field to ProfessorListSerializer using FileFieldSerializer for better avatar handling.
- Update room ID generation in CourseLiveSessionRoomCreateAPIView to use a consistent format.
- Introduce debug logging in PlugNMeetClient for room creation payload to aid in troubleshooting.
Introduce PlugNMeetWebhookAPIView to handle:
- room_finished: close live session and mark users offline
- participant_joined: create/reactivate LiveSessionUser
- participant_left: mark user offline with exit timestamp
- end_recording: fetch info, obtain token, download file, save
LiveSessionRecording, and generate video thumbnails via ffmpeg
Add new PlugNMeetClient methods:
- get_recording_info
- get_recording_download_token
- download_file
Expose webhook route at /api/course/plugnmeet/webhook/ with HMAC
SHA256 signature verification (Hash-Token header).
Deprecate polling-based room status sync in
CourseOnlineClassTokenValidateAPIView in favor of webhooks.
build(docker): add ffmpeg to production image for thumbnail generation
docs: add webhook setup and usage guides (README_WEBHOOK.md,
docs/plugnmeet_webhook.md)
chore(scripts): add create_live_room.sh and scripts/test_webhook.py for
manual testing and workflow support
Return an absolute URI for the avatar in live session token
metadata so external services (e.g., PlugNMeet) can fetch the
image reliably. Add debug logging to PlugNMeet client POST
requests and info logging for the resolved profile picture URL
to aid troubleshooting.
- Remove `metadata` from LiveSessionRoomCreateSerializer and ignore any
client-provided `metadata` for security (with warning log)
- Build secured room metadata server-side with explicit default lock
settings (mic/webcam/screen share locked; whiteboard/notepad/chat
unlocked) and comprehensive room features (chat, recording, breakout,
waiting room, etc.)
- Convert all request payload keys to camelCase before calling PlugNMeet
for both room creation and join token to match protocol requirements
- Extend non-admin user lock_settings in join token to include
whiteboard/notepad/chat controls
- Update live-session docs and add comprehensive PlugNMeet API docs
BREAKING CHANGE: Clients must no longer send `metadata` when creating a
room; all room settings are now enforced server-side and cannot be
overridden by the client. The serializer no longer accepts `metadata`.
Poll PlugNMeet for room activity during online class token validation
and close inactive sessions, updating related LiveSessionUser entries.
Add PlugNMeetClient.is_room_active and improve error handling to raise
PlugNMeetError when response status is false. Includes logging and TODO
for future webhook-based sync.
- add CourseLiveSession.room_id field with unique index
- introduce LiveSessionRoomCreateSerializer and LiveSessionTokenSerializer
- add URLs for room creation and token:
- <slug>/online/room/create
- online/room/token
- enhance token validation metadata with:
- can_create_live_session, can_join_live_session flags
- live session context (active_room_id, timings, details)
- improve logging and token error handling in validation flow
- add PlugNMeet configuration settings (URL, API key/secret, timeout)
This introduces the endpoints and data structures needed to create and
join live sessions, and surfaces richer metadata for frontend usage. A
database migration is required for the new model field and index.
