Does anyone know what values (strings) for segmentationType we should specify for record live stream REST API?, that is:

POST /v2/servers/{serverName}/vhosts/{vhostName}/applications/{appName}/instances/{instanceName}/streamrecorders

Creates a new Stream Recorder in the specified Application Instance and starts recording

From Wowza Streaming Engine Manager, in the segmentation tab of live recording dialog, Segmentation Options are:

None

Segment by size

Segment by duration

Segment by schedule

What are the corresponding values that should be specified to segmentationType for the above options?

Actually, I wanted to specify “Segment by duration”, so I tried “Segment by duration”, “duration”, etc. and none of them worked properly.

When creating a Recorder specify the Segmentation Type by using this value: “segmentationType”:“SegmentByDuration”,

Hope this helps.

Alex
