Question

Let clients record & save part of live stream

Hi,

I'm looking for a solution where clients watch a live stream video and can record part of this stream while watching and save this recording to disk. I can think of several solutions but not sure if any of them is possible:

- The selected part is recorded locally and saved through FileRefence.

- The selected part is recorded with FMS though a second NetStream and saved with a unique ID. The user can retrieve the recorded video by download.

- Start-time and end-time of the recording are send to the server where some script extracts the requested video from the live stream recording file and return it as a download.

Would any of these solutions work and what would be the best approach?

Thanks!

    I think last option looks most light wieght and best as per me and i suppose it should be doable. I mean i dont know how you would be able rip part of stream via some script - i would advise FMS records it and then have some logic to provide recorded content back to client.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I'm indeed going for the last option, where the live stream is being recorded as FLV on the server and FFmpeg copies the requested part and converts it to MP4. Still need to do some testing and optimalisation but this seems to work quite well.
