HTTP LiveStreamRecord and fileTemplate

Hello,

I’m using a URL to record a live stream, as detailed here.

I’m using action=startRecordingSegmentByDuration. I’d like to specify the fileTemplate, so my file names included the start time of the segment. However, when I specify the fileTemplate like this:

&fileTemplate=${SourceStreamName}_t${RecordingStartTime}_ct${SegmentTime}

I get a filename like: ${SourceStreamName}_t${RecordingStartTime}_ct${SegmentTime}.mp4 - with no substitutions.

Am I doing something wrong, or is parameter not supported through HTTP live stream recording?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you confirm the URL string looked like the following:

http://[wowza-ip-address]:8086/livestreamrecord?app=live&streamname=myStream&action=startRecordingSegmentByDuration&segmentDuration=[seconds]&fileTemplate=${SourceStreamName}_t${RecordingStartTime}_ct${SegmentTime}
