| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Group Name | Specifies the unique identifier for this group. |
Stream ID | Specifies the unique name for the stream. |
Bitrate [kbps] | Specifies the bitrate for selected stream. |
| Protocols | Zixi, HLS, MP4 HLS, DASH, HLS over multicast |
| Recording | |
Keep recorded files for [minutes] | Specifies the maximum time for storing the recording. If the file is left as blank, the system will use the global settings specified in the Settings > Live Protocols screen in the HLS DVR Maximum Recording Duration field. |
| File name template | Specify the file name pattern that Zixi will use to generate when saving the recorded content. A separate file will be generated for each recording up to the time specified in the Max recorded file duration parameter (see above). After this duration a new file will be generated. The file name pattern can include any string and up to five variables listed below. Only the %T=HH.MM.SS creation time is mandatory. You can change the order of these variables and add text as long as you maintain the legitimate structure of the file in Linux and Windows:
For example, the following pattern %Y_recording%T.ts will generate the following file name 2017_recording15:32:35.ts. |
