How to set file name in a live-record app

Hire a Consultant

Hi all,

How can I set wowza to record live broadcast with a new file-name any time a new live-record broadcast starts even if the user set the same Source Stream name?

The file name should be something like this : myStream_2012-10-16-08.51.31.104-MDT.mp4 ( ${SourceStreamName} _ ${RecordingStartTime} )

Consider the Souce Stream Name is set to mp4:myStream and it remains the same for several live-record sessions. The wowza default setting of the live-record app, generates file names like these:

myStream.mp4 (the last recorded file)

myStream_0.mp4

myStream_1.mp4

myStream_2.mp4

What I need is something like this:

myStream_2012-10-16-08.51.31.104-MD.mp4 (the last recorded file)

myStream_2012-10-16-08.21.41.100-MD.mp4

myStream_2012-10-14-08.51.31.104-MD.mp4

myStream_2012-10-12-08.67.31.104-MD.mp4

Can you help me on this? Thank you all,

Paolo

Paolo,

First off, I don’t think you got the forum right; this is a forum for people looking to hire a consultant for custom work.

That being said, if you set “liveStreamRecorderUseSimpleFileVersionNaming” property to “false” and have WMS 3.5.1+, then it should start versioning files the way you describe.

Incidentally, this is described in this thread.
