I am running an FFMPEG script on a loop that send a MPEGTS UDP stream to a Wowza udp connection. The script stops and restarts so the stream is interrupted for a small amount of time. During this interruption the ModuleS3Upload copies a file to S3 event though the recording of the connection was not stopped. I do not want the file copied to S3 until I explicitly cll the REST API to stop recording.
