Record Api working with stream properties unusedStreamDeletionTimeoutMs question

[ziheng-dev]

I am using OME latest Docker image to pull a rtsp and publishers is WebRTC, live video is working well with the ovenplayer.

I am trying to use record Api now, after I post record start request, I found that recod will auto stop if I configu the persistent to false and set unusedStreamDeletionTimeoutMs when create the stream. I would like to use the record stop api to contral the video length.

The stream properties when created:

"properties":{
	"persistent": false,
	"noInputFailoverTimeoutMs": 3000,
	"unusedStreamDeletionTimeoutMs": 30000,
	"ignoreRtcpSRTimestamp": false
 }

I don't want to change the persistent to true because that I need to manage and delete stream by myself, Is there any way to keep the stream when recording?

Also I can't gat file connections in statistics API after started the record, file is alway 0, I can see the webrtc.

{
    "message": "OK",
    "response": {
        "avgThroughputIn": 1049408,
        "avgThroughputOut": 962032,
        "connections": {
            "file": 0,
            "llhls": 0,
            "ovt": 0,
            "push": 0,
            "thumbnail": 0,
            "webrtc": 2
        },
        "createdTime": "2024-10-01T13:28:14.264+00:00",

        "maxTotalConnections": 2,
        "totalBytesIn": 6988512,
        "totalBytesOut": 7652254,
        "totalConnections": 2
    },
    "statusCode": 200
}

did I missing something in the config file? this is how I add FILE to Publishers

<Server version="8">
        ....
	<VirtualHosts>
		<VirtualHost>
                        <Name>default</Name>
                        ...
                        <Applications>
				<Application>
                                        <Name>app</Name>
                                        ...
					<Publishers>
						<AppWorkerCount>1</AppWorkerCount>

						</WebRTC>
						<FILE>

							<FilePath>/video/${Stream}/${StartTime:YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss}_${EndTime:YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss}.ts</FilePath>
							<InfoPath>/video/${Stream}.xml</InfoPath>
							
						</FILE>
					</Publishers>
				</Application>
			</Applications>
		</VirtualHost>
	</VirtualHosts>
</Server>

When a stream is recorded, it seems like it's being used. We'll review this and add the feature.

This is now managed as an issue: #1708
