Hi,

I am recording live stream from IP camera using segmented form of recording - each segment is about 10 second duration.

When I record using UI interface, I get files in this format:

sf10.stream\_2016-11-18-16.28.05.889-UTC\_0.mp4

sf10.stream\_2016-11-18-16.28.05.889-UTC\_1.mp4

sf10.stream\_2016-11-18-16.28.05.889-UTC\_2.mp4

sf10.stream\_2016-11-18-16.28.05.889-UTC\_3.mp4

sf10.stream\_2016-11-18-16.28.05.889-UTC\_4.mp4

…

…

What I’d like to have is: have each recorded file saved with different date/time stamp, automatically (that way, I’d extract time created of each file from file name only).

Is this feature available using Wowza default settings? Or is there any other way that I can leverage?

Thanks!
