Hello.

I’m recording stream, using option “Record all incoming streams”. I set application properties “streamRecorderSegmentationType” to “duration” and “streamRecorderSegmentDuration” to “120000”. When I start stream it is automatically recorded, but as 1 file, without 2-minutes segmentation. What is the problem?

Hi,

Checking on “Record all incoming streams” is the same as using an application StreamType of “live-record” this StreamType is very limited.

It will record all incoming live streams from beginning to end.

The “segmentation” options are part of the [LiveStreamRecord](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-record-live-streams-httplivestreamrecord%28HTTPLiveStreamRecord%29) API, which gives you more control over what streams are recorded, and how.
