If I get my dvr this way :

**ILiveStreamDvrRecorder dvr = stream.getDvrRecorder(IDvrConstants.DVR\_DEFAULT\_RECORDER\_ID);**

the **dvr.setRecordingName(recordName)** works great

But if I get my dvr this way :

**ILiveStreamDvrRecorder dvr = new LiveStreamDvrRecorder();**

the **dvr.setRecordingName(recordName)** do nothing, the recordName is the stream name …

why ?

For information, I need to create myself my dvr instance to be able to have multi record for same stream at the same time.

Hi,

We did provide an update via the ticket process at the time. Basically the response was that currently the only method allowed is as shown in your first example. It is not possible to enable multi-DVR recording of the same stream at the same time.
