How Many Recordings Are Created for a Live Recording Task?

When configuring a recording template, you need to set the recording length. During a livestream, recording files are generated based on the length of the livestream and recording length.

  • If the length of the livestream is shorter than the recording length and the stream is not interrupted, only one recording file is created.
  • If the length of the livestream is shorter than the recording length but the stream is interrupted, recording files are created as follows:
    • If Max Stream Pause Length is set to Do not generate a new file when a stream is paused or Max Stream Pause Length has not been reached, only one recording file is created.
    • If Max Stream Pause Length is set to Generate a new file when a stream is paused, a new recording file is created upon each pause.
  • If the length of the livestream is longer than the recording length, a new recording file is created every time when the recording length arrives.
