Able to record live streaming video on AMS (all editions)

[ivantsui00]

I will have live streaming feed in (Custom RTMP) to AMS 5.0.3 (I am testing in starter edition).  

If AMS will be able to record live streaming into hard disk and also what formats could be selected?

[hparmar]

Yes AMS can record live streams on disk...Please see ams help docs/guides for details...Itis exlained in detail over there...Also you can record in number for formats mp4, flv e.t.c..Again please check help docs for details

If all editions including starter edition could record live stream video feed from another source？ I am testing on starter edition so if this May limit on 10 minutes？

Please let me know which docs should have mentioned the formats and how to configure on this？

The formats are f4v and flv..see record function of stream class.

Additionally if you want to record in other formats, you will have to write code for the corresponding file plugins and drop the binaries in the modules folder of AMS installation.

Hi Hparmar,

I am not programming expert so dont know how to use this Server-side ActionScript Lanuage as stream.record() during live-streaming from RTMP.

I just have RTMP signal feed into AMS and then use videoplayer.html to view this back.    How to implement with this ActionScript?

I am still testing in Starter Edition.   From http://forums.adobe.com/message/3934425, it had mentioned that 10 minutes for recording?

Which edition (standard and professional) will allow recording of live streaming?

Best Regards,
Ivan Tsui

Create a folder inside application folder(the folder name becomes application name) and create a file called main.asc inside it...And write the following content in main.asc file...And it will do basic record for you..Please find related sources in help manuals...Server side action script is pretty elementary and explained in detail in help docs..Thankyou Bye.

var MAX_RECORDERS=20;

var RecorderCount=0;

application.onAppStart = function()

{

          trace("Application name: " + application.name);

          trace("Server: " + application.server);

          application.s = new Array();

}

application.onPublish = function(clientObj, streamObj)

{

          ++RecorderCount;

          if(RecorderCount > MAX_RECORDERS)

                    return;

          trace("recording started...");

          var strName = "recorded_" + streamObj.name;

          var s = Stream.get(strName);

          if (s == undefined )

                    return;

          s.onStatus = function(info)

          {

                    trace(info.code);

          }

          if (!s.record("record"))

          {

                    s.trace("record failed.");

          }

          s.play(streamObj.name, -1, -1, true);

          application.s[streamObj.name] = s;

}

application.onUnpublish = function(clientObj, streamObj)

{

          --RecorderCount;

          var s = application.s[streamObj.name];

          if (s && s!= undefined)

          {

                    s.record(false);

                    s.play(false);

                    s.flush();

                    Stream.destroy(s);

                    application.s[streamObj.name] = null;

          }

}

I had created a folder as testrec under applications.

When started to feed RTMP video signal inside, I could see that a file as 'recorded_livestream.flv' was created in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Server 5\applications\testrec\streams\_definst_, but the size was still as 946 bytes.   Only update the file timestamp  when I stop feeding and start again.
