Hi,

How can I get the recording status of a livestream via http url.

for: eg: [http://wowza-url:2000/recordingstatus?stream=1.stream](http://wowza-url:2000/recordingstatus?stream=1.stream)

I would like the recording status result will return, like any of the following, based on the current status:

> 1. 1.stream - RECORDER\_STATE\_RECORDING
> 
> 2. 1.stream - RECORDER\_STATE\_ERROR
> 
> 3. 1.stream - RECORDER\_STATE\_PENDING
> 
> 4. 1.stream - RECORDER\_STATE\_WAITING

Currently I am recording the live stream using module livestreamrecord.

Tnx,

Nin

Hello there,

There is nothing built in currently to do what you are describing. But you could write an HTTPProvider to achieve this.

You will need the Wowza IDE:

[Wowza IDE](https://www.wowza.com/streaming/developers/wowza-ide-software-update)

And the IDE User Guide has a section on HTTPProviders:

[IDE User Guide](https://www.wowza.com/uploads/developers/WowzaIDE_UsersGuide.pdf)

**NOTE:** when installing the IDE do not copy the **Location: [wowza.com/wowzaide2](http://wowza.com/wowzaide2)** from the Wowza website, this will add extra information that “breaks” the install. you will need to type in “**[wowza.com/wowzaide2](http://wowza.com/wowzaide2)**” for the URL in Eclipse

If you need assistance with this project you can post a request to the[find a consultant forum](http://community.wowza.com/c/-/7)

Kind regards,

Salvadore

If you do this in an http provider, you can grab a reference to your IStreamRecorder objects and check them as follows:

```auto
Map<String, IStreamRecorder> recordingMap = vhost.getLiveStreamRecordManager().getRecordersMap(appInstance);

```

Then you could iterate through the recorders and check the recorder.getRecorderState() as follows:

```auto
int recordState = recorder.getRecorderState();
if(recordState == IStreamRecorderConstants.RECORDER_STATE_ERROR){
  // do something
}
//etc..

```
