Take a look at this example:

I mis-read that, sorry. Start with the LiveStreamRecord package:
[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-record-live-streams-httplivestreamrecord](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-record-live-streams-httplivestreamrecord)
The example has a Flash client that is used to play a live stream and invoke server-side commands to start/stop recording. Your scheduler will replace the Flash client, it could be Windows scheduler that called a Wowza HTTProvider that started and stopped streams.

ok … so my first answer (#2) is for U 🙂
user cdgraff programmed for me an java module for connecting to wowza and start/stop recording , and some perl scripts , which i can put into cron daemon (its scheduler on linux) , for scheduled recording …
u can put into crontab for example record stream XYZ every monday at 14:00 to 16:00 … etc …
If u want this module , ask user cdgraff …

Hi
I’m a bit new to WOWZA,
I can successfully start and stop recordings manually by http requests like;
[http://localhost:8086/livestreamrecord?app=vod&streamname=raj\_music\_high.sdp&action=start(stop)Recording&startonkeyframe=true&output=/mnt/winshare/wowza\_vts/raj\_special\_2.mp4&format=2](http://localhost:8086/livestreamrecord?app=vod&streamname=raj_music_high.sdp&action=start%28stop%29Recording&startonkeyframe=true&output=/mnt/winshare/wowza_vts/raj_special_2.mp4&format=2)
My wowza installed on windows, and I’ve tried windows task scheduler option, however this solution doesn’t work for me because of several reason.
1. I have 15 channels in 30 streams to record. Each channel is encoded in high and low qualities, that;s why I have 30 streams to record.
2. Each channel has to be recorded according to our content department’s program guide.
Different programs on different channel at different times has to recorded.
1. Each http request must have different script for task scheduler to send the requests.
Let say, each channel is recorded 1 time a day. This means I need to prepare 30 x 2 = 60 different scripts scheduled to run in task scheduler.
But we actually have 5 to 10 different programs needs to be recorded each day per each channel separately.
I’m not a programmer so I cannot write my own module.
Do you have any suggestions?
