Question

Prevent f4f files from being saved

Hi,

I am using RTMFP for live streaming in the form of a video chat application.  However, recently I noticed that large f4f files were being generated on the media server if the video feed was left on for a few days (5.5GB!). I've done a bit of looking around about how f4f files are fragmented video which can be used to reconstruct the stream. I don't think I need copies of stream video as the video chat has a built in recorder

My question is therefore,

How do I prevent f4f files from being saved to the server after the video chat is finished (after publish() has stopped)?

Some more information

  • I am currently not attaching any query strings such as 'record' to the stream URL which is put through publish().
  • I have standard application XML for streaming on both the app and the media server.

Thanks

    I don't have a copy of AMS anymore, but I recall some setting in one of the XML files where you can limit this or turn it off.. but I can't recall where. Might be in the application.xml file or server.xml file.

    Any idea what parameter from the application xml or server xml was? I can probably go from there experimenting with true/false or 0/1
