Hi @MuSe-funky-Developer ,
How are you?

Thank you for the issue.
As far as I understand it is an expected behaviour that hls files do not contain the date and time by nature like MP4 recordings do.
For the hls files (.ts and m3u8) overwriting current files, there are some settings that needs to be configured on the application side. If you can tell me about your use case then I can recommend the best method according to that.

Thank you,
Mohit Dubey

Hey @SelimEmre , I am trying to implement this timestamp feature in my antmedia server. I am using community edition 2.5.3. I tried enabling "Add timestamp to filenames", but that doesn't work. Can you tell me how to use this feature?

Hi @avinashtrivedi11 ,
Let me check this for your and confirm.

Thank you,

Hi @avinashtrivedi11 ,
This settings default value is false. In order to enable this settings, you need to edit the application settings and set the property to true.

1. Please go to the application settings file
   cd /usr/local/antmedia/webapps/LiveApp/WEB-INF
2. Edit the application settings file
   sudo vim red5-web.properties
   Add the settings
   settings.addDateTimeToHlsFileName=true
   save the file
3. Restart the ant media server
   sudo service antmedia restart

Now when you check the streams directoryy, the hls files will have the Date and Time added to them.

Please let me know if it works for you, in case it doesn't then we can do it together.

Thank you,
Mohit Dubey
