Recorder setup
Record your live feed.
The custom BBBB Google Chrome extension records your BB Live feed multi-cam channel and sends it to the media server.
Installing the extension
TODO
Set up the Google Chrome extension
BBBB DVR Setup
- Open BBBB Settings, select DVR under Media Setup, and save.
- Under Recorder API Key, choose Generate API key and copy the key immediately. BBBB shows it only once.
- Copy the BBBB Media Server Address and API key from Settings into the matching fields in the extension.
- Choose Test connection. The extension should tell you it has verified the credentials for your user's stream path.
Start recording
Open the Paramount+ Big Brother multi-cam live feed. With the live feed open in the active tab, open the BBBB extension and choose Start capture. Confirm that the capture status bubble is green, then use the fullscreen button on the Paramount+ media player. The BBBB plugin prevents the player from actually entering fullscreen, but this makes the recording use the highest resolution available.
Keep the recorder running
Leave the computer awake and connected to the internet, and keep Chrome signed in to Paramount+. Recording stops if the computer sleeps, the live-feed tab closes, or the extension disconnects. You can leave the tab running in the background or run the recorder on a separate always-on computer.
