Hi All,

Is it possible to set the DVR to auto record at specific times? for example I want to record a particular programme at a specific time from a configured live stream? Or do I have to record everything and then cut the content I want and copy into dvd directory manually?

Thanks

/M

Hi,

I’d recommend taking a look at the [nDVR Recording API.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-wowza-ndvr-recording-api)

The examples provided there are HTTPProviders that can be used to start/stop recording from a URL and name recordings etc.

You could set things up, such as scheduled tasks, to schedule a curl or wget command to call the recording URLs.
