A very nice option is to save a live stream with ffmpeg in "server side task control". The main purpose of direct recording on the origin Nimble-server is: Remux and Uploading of the video files are not needed anymore. second: when you have a live event, you have a local copy of your live event and a second on the server.
What I discover by recording a livestream with multible bitrate streams by starting 3 seperate ffmpeg task in the Wmspanel, it takes about 10sec before the "playback" will start in the webplayer(jwplayer). playing the files on a ipad
providing a smil playlist by nimble.
Can you give me a direction of what is the best way the record a stream with ffmpeg, without remuxing the files again.
current tasks in the wmspanel
ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://localhost/rtmp/video_1 -c copy "/mnt/archive/vod/video_360p-1.mp4"
ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://localhost/rtmp/video_2 -c copy "/mnt/archive/vod/video_480p-2.mp4"
ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://localhost/rtmp/video_3 -c copy "/mnt/archive/vod/video_1080p-3.mp4"
