Questions about the content of download meeting recording .zip file

I tried posting this on the resurrected Connect forum, but my Adobe ID wasn't recognized there....

Concerning the files that are included in the .zip file of the meeting recording that can be downloaded:

1) Is there any documentation describing the files and their contents (i.e. what each file represents, what each XML element and attribute in those files represent)

2) Are there any files that capture mouse movement on a shared desktop?

Thank you!

    I spent over an hour trying to make sense of all the XML files and finally gave up. I just wanted to delete some coments and fix text in others.

    Yeah, playing with these files is not a user friendly as you may expect out of the gate. This download function for the recordings was never intended to be used for editing of the recordings. It is just an application of the API functionality available for downloading any content off the Connect server.

    I have spent quite a bit of time "reverse engineering" the indexstream manifest to mux multiple video and audio streams already.  Along the way discovering many complications like having to deal with dropped video/audio that Adobe may not reflect in the manifest or in the stream length itself, realizing that the start time of a shared desktop does not actually coincide with when it becomes visible and the start of the video stream, etc. etc., so I appreciate it is definitely not easy.  And I haven't even touched annotations, marker movement, chat, etc.  I hoped that documentation on the XML might help improve my handling of some of these things, but it seemed obvious already that all of this is a "back door" and not really actively encouraged so no documentation is not a surprise.  Unfortunately, with no other facility to automate a consistent and reliable download of the meeting that is not machine and/or network dependent, I feel like I have no choice but to put this effort in.  If I'm mistaken, please enlighten me.

    1. No, there is no documentation that I am aware of. Most are pretty intuitivley named:

         cameraVoip is the file that contains the live video (if any) and VoIP audio.

         ftcontent is the share pod, and the call to the content on the server

         ftscreenShare is the screen share

         etc...

    2. Not sure about the information captureing the mouse movement. It would likely be in the screenshare xml file, but I'm not 100% on that.
