How to append recorded files.

Question

Two questions.I am using adobe dvrcast to record my live streams. the problem I am having is when I stop the encode during a live stream, a new file is not created, the existing stream is written over. How can I preventive this from occuring.Is there a way to have all vod files that are in one folder to roll over to the next file during play back.

i unloaded the application using admin console. it is still

not working for me.

Can you check if you all files in you dvrcast set-up. Can you just check if you Application.xml in your dvrcast_origin folder. If you do not have can you create one with following content and keep it under dvrcast_origin folder.

Application.xml

<Live>

<EraseOnPublish>false</EraseOnPublish>

</Live>

</StreamManager>

</Application>

Are you using your customer recorder or FMLE. In case you are using the customer recorder and doing the DVRSetStreamInfo youself, please use streamInfo.append = true.

I am not sure whether from FMLE you can record in append mode for DVR (I will have to check), but by the time I can provide you insights in the DVRCast code that will workout for you. In DVRCast origin app, inside ExDVRStream.asc, you can modify code here in "onStartRecord" from

if (this.streamInfo.append)
    {
        s.record("append");
    }
    else
    {
        s.record("record");
    }

to

s.record("append");

This will append your recording to the previous recorded file. In case you want to completely record to new file, you will have to publish a different stream. or connect to different instance of the application.
