Questions about SecondChanceRecording

[alibert]

Hi,

if set to true in config.xml, this would result in a second chance recording if the filesize of the mpeg is unusually small.
But with my external recording source there hasn't been a request to restart the recording again after a failure, e.g if no stream was received.

So, my Questions are:
- Is this option in principle designed to work with external recording sources, or will I have to implement some logic by myself?
- Is it okay to set the status to RecordingStatus.RECORDING_FAILED if no stream is being recieved, or will this prevent the second chance recording from kick in?
- After which amount of time will the filesize be checked?
- Anything else that I might be doing wrong?

Yes, it should work with any recording source. It just checks the file size, and if it has grown to a reasonable size, it restarts it (calling stopRecording() followed by startRecording()).

- Is it okay to set the status to RecordingStatus.RECORDING_FAILED if no stream is being recieved, or will this prevent the second chance recording from kick in?

It will probably stop it from kicking in.

- After which amount of time will the filesize be checked?

25 seconds.
