Empty audio tags for FLV recording has been added at revision 4271. Please
update your red5 install and try with this revision or newer.

I tried the latest build rc4273 with a recording app and got the following
result:
using a streamname of "1", red5 saved "1.flv" and "1.flv.ser". The recording
did not seem to stop on disconnection of the flash client.
the logs show:

Followup:
In order to rule out issues of my app, i reproduced the error in The publisher
demo, recording to oflaDemo.
-rw-r--r-- 1 mood mood 171873 2011-08-07 15:20 teststream.flv

teststream.flv continues to be written even after disconnecting the publisher
platform is jeos-8.04 running in a vmware virtual machine.

If the "ser" (serial) file was still there then the bytes had not finished
transferring to the "flv". Watching an incomplete file is not covered here. I
suggest that you wait for the Record.Stop before disconnecting and depending
upon the size of your file this may take a little bit of time

I tested a new recording following that procedure like this:
I set up the publisher app for recording to oflaDemo.
I started recording "recording" and stopped the recording with the button in
publisher, not leaving the page or disconnecting.
Publisher did not give any feedback that the recording was stopped
I waited until record.flv was completely written and record.flv.ser removed
I then hit oflaDemo and tried to play record.flv with no success and the
following result:
(28386) recording.flv:
(28594) NetStream.onStatus:
clientid = 1
details = recording.flv
description = Playing and resetting recording.flv.
code = NetStream.Play.Reset
level = status
(28597) NetStream.onStatus:
clientid = 1
details = recording.flv
description = Started playing recording.flv.
code = NetStream.Play.Start
level = status
(28644) NetStream.onStatus:
clientid = 1
details = recording.flv
description = Stopped playing recording.flv.
code = NetStream.Play.Stop
level = status
(28710) NetStream.onStatus:
level = status
code = NetStream.Buffer.Flush
red5.log shows several exceptions, in the AbstractPipe, ServiceInvoker and
InMemoryPullPullPipe, logs attached.
Can i provide more data that could help find the reason for this?
On a sidenote, the saving of the flv from the .ser was abysmally slow, i am not
sure if the VM hit caching somewhere in between, i will therefore retry the
same on a dedicated server to check if the result gets better.
On another sidenote, wouldn't it make more sense to save the .flv from the .ser
to .flv.tmp first and finally rename it? That would prevent to make the final
.flv available before complete writing in the first place, and avoid caveats
for developers and integrators that would have to protect the file before it is
written completely.

Hi Stefan,
I am experiencing a similar problem where the conversion from .ser to .flv is
incredibly slow. I have another red5 installation on another server and whilst
watching the file creation on the server I do not even see the .ser file get
created. The flv is being encoded on the fly opposed to being converted after
the recording has ended.
Just wondering if you found a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Gareth

Hi Gareth,
no, i just reverted to a pre patched version and just make sure there audio
does not get cut via the client sided silence level. That works so far, since
most recording equipment never drops under a certain noise level.
I assume the method used so far is not yet the ideal solution to the issue, i
suppose the solution lies in recording actual "silence" packages.
Here is the theory, haven't got time yet to check that:
In live situations, a message just indicates that silence began and later on
the flash client picks up broadcasting audio (that is to save bandwidth), but
since those messages won't probably be saved nor considered during generation
of metadata, on playback it cannot be "guessed" when the next audio will be
available. The videoframes are not sent "live", so during the gaps there is
nothing to sync the video frames to.
Hope that helps
Stefan

Thanks for that Stefan. I've also reverted to an earlier version and the
problem has gone.

Thanks to every ones who keeps this thread running because in fact there are a
critical problem with the video recording.
I also tried the last version which seem to fix the problem when the record is
made at low volume levels, however introduce the problem with the ".ser" file
when takes an eternity to transfer the recorded bytes to the ".flv" file.
By the way I have also reverted to an early version and as workaround I set the
microphone boost level to MAX. In this way seem work properly most of the time.
However this is a very important issue that must be fixed yet.
regards, César

@cesar: your workaround seems to confirm the silence level theory. Apart of
raising the microphone boost, have you tried switching of the silence level
client sided (see flash.media.microphone api)? Usually, no regular recording
device actually is mnoise free, and though the noise might be very low, there
will still be data.
I am currently pretty busy on different projects, but if anyone gets around to
log the ocurrence of a mentioned "silence event" that flash is supposed to send
when the volume gets under the set silence level, that could lead somewhere.
As a path to a proper solution, i'd propose to generate an audio/video file
with periods of absolute silence and encode it to a proper flv, then dump the
resulting audio packets to see what they look like. Maybe it is possible to
catch the silence event server sided and write similar "no audio" packages
during live recording until new audio kicks in.
cheers,
Stefan

@gareth which version you install? is it 0.8.0?
Original comment by erpushpa...@gmail.com

@cesar I am using red5 1.0 for red5-video recorder, and i have this problem
While I press record the .ser file sometimes creates but sometimes not its not
smooth really. What will be the problem? Do i need to install red5 0.8? Or this
current version will fine to record. Please suggest.
Thanks

@pusp I never solved the problem completely but I was able to achieve good
results playing with the quality and keyframe settings (I don't remember which
ones worked best for me). I used red5 1.0.
Good luck!
