recording flv broken red5

Question

I am using red5 server 1.0.6

Some of my recorded files are broken, I have read in some articles that if a stream is closed before the bufferLength of the stream is greater than 0, the recorded file will be broken. This is my code for saving and closing the stream.

@Override public void streamPublishStart(IBroadcastStream stream) {
    try {
        /* My script to save started stream details in database */
        stream.saveAs("audio/"+username, true);
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace(); 
    }
}

@Override public void streamBroadcastClose(IBroadcastStream stream) {
    /* My script to save closed stream details in database */
    stream.close();
}

Is the stream.close() reason for broken recordings? What happens if I don't close the stream?

Hi! What do you mean with broken? Can you open the file but the quality is bad? – Endow

It's not playing at all – Giarla

If I execute ffmpeg command it is giving invalid data found while processing input – Giarla

flvmeta author here. flvmeta --check can be used to diagnose such problems. It might tell you exactly how the file is broken. – Iceman

Do you need to use the isAppend flag in true? Did you get the same result doing stream.saveAs("audio/"+username, false)? – Endow

No, I haven't tried that. – Giarla

I want to save all the data in same file – Giarla

During your transmission, do you have any suscriber listening the audio? Only to check if the problem is maybe on the client. Do you have this problem always? – Endow

Do you have some .ser files with the same name on your streams folder when this happens? – Endow

Yes I have 2 subscribers listening to that stream. – Giarla

Nope, no .ser or .info files in my folder – Giarla

Let us continue this discussion in chat. – Giarla

@Iceman I will try that tomorrow and ping you – Giarla

@Iceman it is show 0x00000000: fatal F11002: FLV signature not found in header 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) – Giarla

Well, the file is not a valid FLV file then. That's pretty much all I can say, unfortunately. – Iceman

It played well in live stream. file metadata is shown if I use flvreader(Java). is it possible to add FLV signature to the file? – Giarla
