Is that possible with Wowza? I’ve tried to force it changing the filename in the recording configuration, but the saved file appears with this name format: filename.mp3.mp4.

Hello.

Wowza supports recording to .mp4 and .flv containers.

I just ran a test to try to force a recording to an .mp3 container but was unsuccessful as well.

Regards.
