Hello,

By default, records are saved to /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/records. Record file name template is specified by stream_record_policy_template. The template can be changed to include stream name (':' and '/' will be replaced with '_').
The parameters can be configured in flashphoner.properties

record_dir=records
record_rtsp_streams=true
stream_record_policy_template={streamName}-{mediaSessionId}

on_record_hook.sh gets the recording file name right after recording is done.

Thank you for your reply a question you have a recording sample that uses local camera do you have sample that does recording but uses RTSP stream instead of local camera

If you do not have example as discussed above can you show me in Player example how I could get recording file name after playing or during playing RTSP stream

No, there is no such example because it is a little more complex task.

If you've set the server option

record_rtsp_streams=true

and play an RTSP stream in Player example, you should use REST API /recorder/find_all

POST /rest-api/recorder/find_all HTTP/1.1
HOST: wcs:8081
content-type: application/json
content-length: 0

which returns actual recordings list

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Length: 125
 
[
    {
        "fileName": "9c3e-test-1563776083752-{endTime}.mp4",
        "mediaSessionId": "5a072377-73c1-4caf-abd3"
    }
]

So you can get the file name for every RTSP stream while it is recording.
We also recommend you to set a recording file name template as described in the post above.
