Ok so i got a live video stream and i want to record, but it only makes 1 KB files. I tried recording a shoutcast stream and this works, using the same module. By the way, the .stream file must contain this? udp://0.0.0.0:10000

You have to describe more about what you are doing. The 1k file is not a good recording. Are you using an mpegts encoder? Are you starting in StreamManager? You can use MediaCaster type “rtp-record”

You do not use StreamManager in this case, and you do not use StreamType “rtp-live”. Those are for pulling streams, for example from an IP camera. An RTMP live encoder like FMLE pushes a stream to Wowza.

With a RTMP live encoder, use StreamType “live”. Enter the RTMP URL to that application in the FMS URL box, and enter a stream name, then click the “Start” button. If you run Wowza in stand-alone (/bin/startup.bat) mode and watch the log output in the console, you will immediately see a publish event when you start the encoder. Then you can playback that stream. Follow this tutorial for configuration and playback URLs:

The source has to be h.264 video and mp3 or aac audio to record to mp4 container.

Perhaps it was a network problem that caused the 1mb file. Are you using this method?

Try it again.

Can you provide enough detail about the source, encoding, origin-edge setup and exactly how you are recording so that I can replicate? Send that to support@wowza.com along with /conf and /logs folders. Include a link to this thread for reference

Hello,

I have a similar issue with the 1kb bad recording. Weird part is that recording works fine if I set the type to flv but not mp4.

Regards

Source is h.264 with aac using transcoder. This is happening on an edge repeater. The video is recorded under content folder with flv

Hi,

That is the method and it’s a consistent issue so not network related.
