Hello.
We have started to use Wowza Streaming Engine 4.1.2 instead of Wowza 3.6.4. And we trying to move our application to Wowza 4.1.2. The problem is, that video recording doesn’t work on Wowza 4.1.2. We have two configurations of Application.xml.
Application.xml from Wowza 3x and using in Wowza 4x:

In this configuration video is recorded, but a size of every video is 160b and we get the WARN from logs:

In this configuration video is not recorded and we get the WARN from logs:
WARN [_defaultVHost_.live.example] LiveReceiver.flushPacketizerDelayCommand[live/example/]: Stream name is missing or too long, flushing delayed packet.
Can you help us and give some advice, may be we have missed something.
Thanks!
