[giuseppe madonna]

Hi,

Hi,

Welcome to our community!

You can Enable/Disable mp4/webm recording on Ant Media Server Dashboard. I have attached an example image. No need to use REST APIs or codes. 

I hope, I could help you.

Best Regards,

Selim

Thank you,

but i am not trying to enable recording but to start/stop it at will,

i have understand that i need to use the https://antmedia.io/rest/#/BroadcastRestService/enableRecording API to do that,

but i don't know how can i call it from back-end. Can u give me some example? I think i might use node.js but every example is userfull

Hi,

Have a good day.

Can u give me some example?

Sure, I'm glad to help with your issue. Yes, you need to use https://antmedia.io/rest/#/BroadcastRestService/enableRecording REST API for recording status.

Here is the sample Javascript XHR request:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function() {

if(this.readyState === 4) {

console.log(this.responseText);

}

});

xhr.open("PUT", "http://localhost:5080/LiveApp/rest/v2/broadcasts/308588021341642039818703/recording/true?recordType=mp4");

xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

xhr.send();

PS: Please make sure you are already added your IP Address to application REST IP filter settings.
