Folks, just to adjust expectations: posting +1 won't help get this feature landed. Specifically, the UI has no control over this, which means there is no way to decide whether one wants an audio-only or video recording. For that reason alone, this cannot land. If what you are interested in is transcriptions, the righ approach is to use JMR: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-multitrack-recorder which gets audio directly from the JVB and is much more lightweight. |

Summary
Adds a configurable audio-only recording mode that skips video capture and encoding entirely. This reduces CPU and storage requirements, making Jibri viable on lower-spec machines and ideal for use cases like meeting transcription.
Changes
reference.conf: addsenable-videoflag (defaulttrue) and audio-only FFmpeg input/output commands for Linux and macOSFfmpegCapturer: selects audio-only command whenenable-video = falseFileSink: uses.m4aextension for audio-only recordingsUsage
Set in
jibri.conf:jibri.ffmpeg.enable-video = false
Output files use
.m4aextension (AAC audio in MPEG-4 container).Motivation
Recording a Jitsi meeting for transcription purposes does not require video.
