can we store the video at nimble server

We are making an online video streaming website and we are using nimble streamer for video streaming, let me know we can store or save the video at the server or not.

Hello Kiran.

Please describe your streaming scenario in more detail. Do you want to record live streams or provide Nimble Streamer with media files for VOD streaming?

If you don't want to expose some sensitive information in the forum, please start new support ticket by sending email to help@wmspanel.com

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes we want to record live streams. Please let us how can we record it and how can we specify the location of the files.

Thank
Kiran

You have 3 options to record a live stream on the nimble server

with the new dvr function on the wmspanel to a local path say: /var/cache/nimble/recording/live1/
It wil record the live stream in many litle small video files.

or record a live stream to a singel mp4 file with ffmpeg as a task in "server-side-task-controle" in the wmspanel like:
ffmpeg -re -i rtmp://ip-nimble-server/live/live1 -c copy "/mnt/samba-share/vod/live1.mp4"

samba-share is nice when you share a folder on a shared storage, like a nas.
but if you have enough space on the local disk of the nimble server, you can record on the local storage of nimble too

But you have to install ffmpeg first on the nimble server or use ffmpeg on a different pc is an option too.

A live encoder such as "Flash media live encoder" for live streamingm, can record direct to a f4v file. You convert a f4v video to mp4, later on with handbrake or ffmpeg, or many other programs

option 3 is the easiest way to start with.
option 2 with ffmpeg is what I use the most.
you can use % for variable output with ffmpeg.
/vod/`date +%V_%d-%m-%Y_%H.%M`_1.mp4"

Thanks for ur valid advice Joel
