stop recording streams by instance with rest api

Wowza Streaming Engine

hello

is it possible to stop all recordings in a specific app instance using rest api

the basic command to stop recording a stream by name is:

$response = $sf->stop(“myStream”);

what would be the equivalent to stop all recordings ?

thanks

Not aware of a way to stop all the streams at once, but on our system we just stop any started streams by working through them. Each recorded stream has a slightly different ending point (by milliseconds) but not a big deal for us.

If your recording is critical you should really be automatically monitoring any streams to check their recording state anyway so hopefully it won’t be a big deal to then start/stop the right ones.

Failing that, I don’t think there are any negative implications in ‘stopping’ a stopped stream again, so you could just blanket stop them all.

got this response when using the standard call with the stream name:

JSON REQUEST to http://xxx.com:8087/v2/servers/defaultServer/vhosts/defaultVHost/applications/live/instances/definst/streamrecorders/1-Gab^5a2e1255cb8df^ok^fr-c004/actions/stopRecording with verb PUT: {“restURI”:“http://xxx.com:8087/v2/servers/defaultServer/vhosts/defaultVHost/applications/live/instances/definst/streamrecorders/1-Gab^5a2e1255cb8df^ok^fr-c004/actions/stopRecording”} RETURN: {“message”:“Your IP address (xx.xx.xx.xx) has been blocked”,“success”:false,“wowzaServer”:“4.7.0.02”,“code”:“403”}

any clue ?
