Hi, I’ve tried to research on the forum but couldn’t find anything that worked for me.

Currently our streams automatically record all incoming, and output in the format - “streamname\_date\_time.mp4” , Need it to be “date\_time\_streamname.mp4”

Where would I edit these parameters? I know how to eliminate the stream name prefix all together, but I actually just need it at the end.

Thanks for any help!

There is not a configurable way to change naming conventions of recordings using StreamType live-record, but you can alter the file name of the recording programatically when it is done recording using IMediaWriterActionNotify

The[HTTP Live stream record features](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-record-live-streams-httplivestreamrecord%28HTTPLiveStreamRecord%29) have more options for how to record and name files.

Kind regards,
