hi,

we are using an app to record our live streams and then we move the recorded files to another folder using the ModuleMediaWriterFileMover.

now we want the file name to be just the stream name without any version titles like “\_0” or “\_1”.

we played around with the fileMoverVersionFile property, but if we set that to false, wowza deletes the recorded file.

is there a way to just keep the stream name as file name without any versioning?

thanks in advance.

In the LiveStreamRecord module you can set it to append rather than version.

ModuleMediaWriterFileMover should move or copy the file when you stop recording. If you set it to move, deleting the original, then the next time you record there is nothing to version, or append to

If you need more control of the move, take a look at IMediaWriterActionNotify
