Hi, before update to Wowza Streaming Engine 4 Subscription Edition 4.7.3 build21227 I was able to record with default File Versioning Template: The file name that was store is something like this: mystream\_2017-11-20-13.06.55.162-EDT\_0.mp4

But now with this version of wowza just record files like this:

mystream\_0

mystream\_1

mystream\_2

In File Versioning Template dialog box show this: ${SourceStreamName}_${RecordingStartTime}_${SegmentNumber}

But doesn’t work, I need the time in the file name

I think this is a bug because I tried the same default method in Wowza Streaming Engine 4 Subscription Edition 4.7.0 build20186 to record and works fine! Can you guys help me?

We are using REST API  
Finally we pass the field “baseFile” with value “${SourceStreamName}_${RecordingStartTime}_${SegmentNumber}.mp4” to solve the problem
