Nginx-rtmp-module: How to record a RTMP streaming pushed from Open Broadcast Studio?

[fishfree]

I followed this tutorial to push RTMP streaming from Open Broadcast Studio to my Ningx-RTMP server. I add the "record all" command in my config file, but still no work. About 10 seconds after stopping push RTMP streaming in Open Broadcast Studio, all the ts/m3u8 files are automatically deleted by Nginx. I'd like Nginx can record these streaming videos at the same time.

My config is as below:

worker_processes auto;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}

RTMP configuration

rtmp {
server {
listen 1935; # Listen on standard RTMP port
chunk_size 4096;

server_name mydomain.com;

    application show {
        live on;
    record all;
    record_path /tmp/recordings;
    record_unique on;
        # Turn on HLS
        hls on;
        hls_path /opt/hls/;
        hls_fragment 3;
        hls_playlist_length 60;
    hls_continuous on;
        # disable consuming the stream from nginx as rtmp
        deny play all;
    }
application vod {
    play /opt/hls;
}
}

}

ts/m3u8 files are hls streaming fragment, and not the record file.
Look at your /tmp/recordings path, and try :
record_path /tmp/recordings/;
instead of
record_path /tmp/recordings;

@tepaze
Thank you! I tried "record_path /tmp/recordings/", but no use.
Since my config is wrong, but I do want to record RTMP pushing streaming, then how to make it?

i also have the problem as you, too. But i put it in recorder that everything is ok

 #RECORDER
                application recorder {
                        live on;
                         recorder all {
                               record all;
                               record_path /tmp/live;
                               record_max_size 100000K;
                               #record_max_frames 4;
                               record_unique on;
                               record_suffix _%d%m%Y_%H%M%S.flv;
                               #record_append on;
                               #record_interval 5s;
                               #record_notify on;
                              exec_record_done /bin/ffmpeg -i $path  -f mp4 /tmp/live/$basename.mp4;
                       }

                }

I'm a little late on this reply, but make sure NGINX has the right permissions to write to that recording directory.

On Linux
chown -R www-data:www-data /path-to/recordings/
On FreeBSD
chown -R www:www /path-to/recordings/
