    raise ValueError(f"Does not look like a BBB playback URL: {url}")
                                                                   ^

The code in question is just trying to match the provided URL against a regular expression, both as a

https://github.com/plugorgau/bbb-render/blob/0644651d4c57afa329d71b7efccb24bf450fafe9/download.py#L14-L16

What you've shown here looks like it would match the regexp though, so presumably this isn't exactly what you ran to get the error message?

the only change is the company name which is meetings..com/playback/presentation

/2.0/playback.html?meetingId=9ac562b67f422723418ff6d50ed695281fe343b0-1603111367881

It's hard to tell what to suggest, since the inputs you've provided don't match up with the errors. Here is what happens if I run the regular expression against the URL you provided in the original comment using python3's interactive mode:

$ python3
Python 3.8.6 (default, Sep 25 2020, 09:36:53) 
[GCC 10.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import re
>>> url = 'meetings.company.com/playback/presentation/2.0/playback.html?meetingId=9ac562b67f422723418ff6d50ed695281fe343b0-1603111367881'
>>> re.match(r'^.*/playback/presentation/2\.0/playback.html\?meetingId=(\S+)$', url)
<re.Match object; span=(0, 125), match='meetings.company.com/playback/presentation/2.0/pl>

Maybe try doing the same with the real URL you're using to see if it reports a match. If it does show a match, then are you sure you entered the URL correctly when running the the download script?

i did the regexp code this is the result i got `>>> import re

url = 'meetings.dalet.com/playback/presentation/2.0/playback.html?meetingId=9ac562b67f4227 23418ff6d50ed695281fe343b0-1603111367881' re.match(r'^.*/playback/presentation/2.0/playback.html\?meetingId=(\S+)$', url) <_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(0, 123), match='meetings.dalet.com/playback/presentation/2.0/pla y>

`

<_sre.SRE_Match object; span=(0, 123), match='meetings.dalet.com/playback/presentation/2.0/play> i can see that in your results its matches up to pl> instead of play> , is matter?

Hi @tbaror, in case you still wonder about your last question: The differences in <_sre.SRE_Match object; ....> are irrelevant. Python just truncates the match string for displaying if it gets too long. (Try using a longer or shorter domain in the URL and you will see.)

What counts is the matched group which contains the meeting id. See James' comment above for the relevant quote from download.py.

So, the example you show in your previous comment looks like a correct match. re.match would have returned nothing if it had not found the regexp in the URL. (You can try this our as well :-)
