If you were streaming using FMLE or Tricaster and the autorecorded video file does not play, then you must be aware of the following settings.
Are you changing FMLE settings? You must know the following important situation:
- by default FMLE is using the VP6 codec
- H264 codec – videos are saved in mp4 format
- VP6 codec – videos are saved in flv format
By default, autorecording settings in your user account are set to APPEND recordings at 5 minutes.
If a user starts to broadcast using VP6 (default setting in FMLE), autorecord is on and the recording is saved. If the user changes to H264 and starts recording again (in less than 5 minutes) the result will be an APPEND video from mp4 and flv, which is a broken video.
That’s why we recommend to use the H264 codec before starting the streaming session.
Also when using the FMLE or Tricaster application to broadcast, you should modify the Append option to Never Append on Recording settings section.
