This sample app shows how to record an OpenTok session, stop the recording, and view the recording. For a full description, see the archiving tutorial at the OpenTok developer center.
This application provides a completed version of the OpenTok Archiving tutorial for iOS (differing only in some additional validation checks). Upon deploying this sample application, you should be able to start, stop, and play back recordings of your sessions.
If you aren't familiar with how to set up a basic video chat application, you should do that first. Check out the Basic-Video-Chat project, and accompanying tutorial.
Note that you will need a valid TokBox account for this and all other TokBox samples and tutorials.
Because the actual archiving is not done on the user's device, but in the OpenTok cloud, you will need to set up a web service that communicates with it to start and stop archiving.
For the purposes of this tutorial, we'll be using a pre-built sample that we've provided. You can deploy this by going to the learning-opentok-php repository, and clicking on the purple deploy to Heroku button.
You can look through the details of that tutorial at a later point. For now, you just need to know that the sample web service provides a RESTful interface to interact with Archiving controls.
In Config.h, configure the SAMPLE_SERVER_BASE_URL string to your web service domain.
That's it!
