Setting up recording on Windows

[mcarter87]

I moved this container from my Ubuntu machine to my Windows machine that's running Contacam for a different cam. I'd like to use the Wyze Bridge record feature vs using Contacam because it doesn't seem to like both cams I have. I started up the docker-compose file from the D drive, which is the drive Contacam is recording to, but I can't get anything to record.

version: '2.4'
services:
wyze-bridge:
container_name: wyze-bridge
restart: unless-stopped
image: mrlt8/wyze-bridge:latest
ports:
- 1935:1935 # RTMP
- 8554:8554 # RTSP
- 8888:8888 # HLS
environment:
- WYZE_EMAIL=email # Replace with wyze email
- WYZE_PASSWORD=password # Replace with wyze password
- ENABLE_AUDIO=True
- TZ=America/Chicago
- RECORD_ALL=True
volumes:
- D:\Contacam:\record
This is what I currently have. I've tired a few other ways to list the directory, so if someone could help point me to what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Hmm, seems like windows is a little tricky, do one of these work?

volumes:
    - "D:/Contacam:/record"

or

volumes:
    - d/Contacam:/record

or potentially:

    - /d/Contacam:/record

I can see the streams.

What is the token directory for?

Does your instance show the created video files as locked and owned by root like mine does? I'm not sure if it would be a permissions issue since it's happening on windows and Ubuntu on directories I own, but it might help to know how the files show for someone else.

[mrlt8]

The tokens dir is where the API data gets cached so that the bridge doesn't have to ping the wyze servers when restarting the container.

Anything in the logs? The bridge should be creating an mp4 each minute in /record/<CAM-NAME>/.

Can you try running with the ENV DEBUG_FFMPEG=true and see if that gives any errors?

[mcarter87]

I'm not sure what I did different, but when I added the debug option it started working, and continued when I took it out. The only question I think I have is there a way to setup auto-delete of the video files after a certain time?

[mrlt8]

No auto delete at this time, but maybe something we could add in the future.

[mcarter87]

Thanks so much for all your assistance! I can use a a batch command or scheduled tasks in windows to delete files after a certain time, but would you mind if I added the auto delete as a request?

[mcarter87]

I guess one more thing I'd like to ask is if the recordings have to be one the local machine or if they can be recorded to another machine on the local network.

[mrlt8]

I haven't tried myself, but I think it should be possible.

Things are working great! Thanks for making this and for being so helpful!
