- Enhanced session handling by checking for active sessions before creating a new room in PlugNMeet, reducing unnecessary API calls.
- Implemented logic to reactivate ended sessions and log relevant actions for better traceability.
- Added conditional room creation to avoid duplicate rooms, improving overall efficiency and user experience.
- Updated CourseLiveSessionRoomCreateAPIView to filter out ended sessions by adding `ended_at__isnull=True` in the session creation logic.
- Introduced a new method in CourseLiveSessionTokenAPIView to build centralized metadata for room settings, ensuring client overrides are not permitted and enhancing session configuration consistency.
- Updated CourseLiveSessionRoomCreateAPIView to filter out ended sessions by adding `ended_at__isnull=True` in the session creation logic.
- Introduced a new method in CourseLiveSessionTokenAPIView to build centralized metadata for room settings, ensuring client overrides are not permitted and defining default lock settings and room features.
- Improved room verification logic in CourseLiveSessionTokenAPIView to handle both boolean and string responses for room activity status.
- Added functionality to automatically recreate inactive rooms for professors while denying token issuance for students if the room is inactive.
- Enhanced logging for better traceability of room status and actions taken during token requests.
- Introduced a new method to handle room recreation in PlugNMeet, ensuring sessions can be reactivated when necessary.
- Updated permission logic for course management.
- Simplified room ID setup and metadata handling.
- Enhanced PlugNMeetClient integration for room creation and token generation.
- Improved error handling and logging for API interactions.
- Adjusted response structure to include the generated access token for frontend use.
- Implemented validation and permission checks for course management.
- Updated room ID generation to comply with NATS rules by prefixing with 'room-'.
- Integrated JWT token generation for user access to live sessions.
- Improved error handling for PlugNMeet API interactions.
- Enhanced response structure to include access token for frontend connectivity.
- 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.
Extend recording_features in live session room creation to include:
- is_allow_local for enabling local recording
- only_record_admin_webcams to control recording scope
Defaults set to True for local recording and False for admin-only webcams
- add recorded_file FileField to CourseLiveSession with migration
- add serializers for recording upload and metadata
- add PATCH endpoint to create a recording for latest session:
/<int:course_id>/live-sessions/recorded-file/
- enforce can_manage_course permission and return recording metadata
- update urls and views; use FileFieldSerializer for file handling
Change the room ID format in CourseLiveSessionRoomCreateAPIView to use the course ID and a static string instead of a timestamp. This ensures consistent room IDs for live sessions.
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.
Use avatar.url directly to avoid duplicating the host when the
storage returns an absolute URL. Prevents malformed avatar links
in live session token responses.
- 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`.
- 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.
