Is it possible to get list of recordings using Wowza REST API? Streaming file directory is set to “Application-specific directory” ${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/content/live

So all recordings that are created are stored in this directory. Is it possible to get list of files using rest api? If not, are there any plans to support this in future?

You can get a list of active recorders using the get verb and recorder endpoint. This guide will walk you through it:

[Stream recording query examples for the Wowza Streaming Engine REST API](https://www.wowza.com/docs/stream-recording-query-examples&#getrecord)

This will only return active recorders any previously recorded will have to be obtained via http provider or this module:
