hello

thanks for reply. i made a new install on a new ubuntu server, have nothing installed but wowza with recording module, same result and no errors i believe its working on your windows machine but i do believe there is a matter on \*nix. anyway i’ll find another way to manage my recordings. i noticed that if i specify for “videorecording” as app name (and publising into it) with the hhtp provider example, i have no errors

if i publish in “videorecording/1000” and specify “videorecording/1000”, the http provider returns me “Error: null”

and anyway in both cases, i just have file with datas when specifying custom path

thanks

thank you for this even if its useless in my case but its interesting to know it exists.

i keep saying there is an issue on ubuntu at least, its recording only metadata when setting custom path with both module or httprovider but its ok i’ll find a way to do what i need

thank you

hi Randall thank you for your reply. to make a long story short as i tested everything you sent me and maybe more, both httpprovider and module version do the same thing: recordings work perfectly (metadata + audio/video) if leaving default path, produces a metadata only when setting custom path. i could re-send the logs and commands, everything is in previous posts…

i’ve just made another test changing “flv” to “1”, same result

look i’ve tryed on 2 differents servers, 3 fresh install nothing else installed, basic setup and usage, using both module class and httpprovider and have the same result everytime. i dont say this is wowza related, it could be ubuntu related, i just need a solution 😃

about the httpprovider null error, it is not a bug deal in itself, i just mentionned it in case it could be related. but by the way i also tryed publishing to app (without specific app instance name) and had again the same result with both httpprovider and module class

and to make sure it wasnt related with my fla code, i tryed also with the samples provided

thank you for your help

i noticed in wowza logs

default path:

> 2012-01-04 12:18:10 CET comment server INFO 200 - ModuleStreamRecord outputPath: /usr/local/apache/sites/mysite.com/htdocs/recordings/1

custom path

> 2012-01-04 12:18:10 CET comment server INFO 200 - ModuleStreamRecord outputPath: “/usr/local/apache/sites/weesoo.com/htdocs/recordings/1”

double quotes are added in the path in the logs when settings custom path from flash movie

anyway it didn’t change nothing but maybe it is related

ok so

1: i’m publishing a stream “myStream” to application “videorecording” (no instance name)

1st test:

> [http://myserver:8086/livestreamrecord?app=videorecording&streamname=myStream&action=startRecording&format=1](http://myserver:8086/livestreamrecord?app=videorecording&streamname=myStream&action=startRecording&format=1)

**\>\> save the flv file to the path specified in Application.xml (which is the same used during other tests). the flv is ok, metadata+audio/video**

hello again

so recording and path are ok now, but i still have 2 issues:

i canno’t add custom metadata. i do like that:

> metaData[“nom”] = \_pseudo;
> 
> recordStream.send(“@setDataFrame”, “onMetaData”, metaData);

but this metadata is not available then in the flv. is the synthax ok ?

also, i have a problem with sound: when played from flash, the recordings are ok. but i cannot play them anywhere else (have only video). when trying to convert to avi in ffmpeg i have this:

> Input #0, flv, from ‘686812914.flv’:

Try it without setting outputPath.

Test by hard-coding path to Wowza content folder + file name in outputPath. That will eliminate permission problems.

This was my test:

- Publish RTMP stream

- Started a stream

- Stopped a stream

- Tested C:/temp/mycoolvideo.mp4 with WMP, VLC, Flash. All good

- Also tried with URL encoded string to location:

There are other ways to move or copy a recording after it is finished:

Configurable method:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-move-recordings-from-live-streams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-move-recordings-from-live-streams)

API:

I’ll test on Linux server using Wowza EC2 ami-79834b10, which I think is Fedora.

</div>

I tested on small ec2 instance, Fedora, the AMI mentioned previously. It all works for me. I publish myStream and used LiveStreamRecord HTML form and querystring methods to record and save it to /tmp/mycoolvideo.mp4

```auto
Start:
http://ec2-nn-nn-nn-nn.compute-1.amazonaws.com:1935/livestreamrecord?app=live&streamname=myStream&action=startRecording&format=2&output=/tmp/mycoolvideo.mp4
Stop:
http://ec2-nn-nn-nn-nn.compute-1.amazonaws.com:1935/livestreamrecord?app=live&streamname=myStream&action=stopRecording

```

Use IMediaStream.sendDirect for recording.
