record_notify
The 'record_notify' directive enables server notifications of stream recording events.
Description
The 'record_notify' directive within the NGINX RTMP module specifies a callback URL that the server should call when significant recording events occur. When invoked, this notification can be triggered for various events related to stream recordings, such as starting, stopping, or updating the status of the recording session. This is particularly useful for triggering external processes or notifying other services without the need for the user to manually check the status of recordings.
When setting this directive, you provide a single argument: the URL to which the notification is sent. The URL can include parameters that specify details of the recording, allowing for highly customized event handling. The notifications are sent as HTTP requests, and when configured properly, they can facilitate automation in workflows surrounding media processing and management. This addition enhances the usability of the streaming service, making it easier for users to incorporate recording notifications into their applications or services.
It is worth noting that the system should be set up to handle these notifications appropriately, ensuring that the specified URL can accept the incoming HTTP requests and process them efficiently. Without a proper endpoint ready to receive notifications, this feature may become ineffective, leading to potential oversight in the management of recorded streams.
Config Example
application myapp {
live on;
record all;
record_path /path/to/recordings;
record_notify http://example.com/notify;
}Ensure the notify URL is accessible from the NGINX server to avoid failed notifications.
The endpoint receiving the notifications must be capable of handling HTTP requests and performing necessary actions based on the information provided.
