WM Recorder

Instructions

 

Setup Enter the IP address, username, password of your target VBrick, and select Slot 1 or Slot 2
For FTP upload of video files, enter the server IP, username, password, and optional remote directory
  Enter a folder for recording and downloading on your PC
 
URL / Multicast Select URL to enter a streaming video URL (e.g. http://vbxstream.com/vbrick2). 
Select Multicast to record video from a VBrick multicast source.  The list is automatically populated from VBrick WM Appliance announcements.
 
Play Plays the selected URL or multicast video.  If multicast, then the Slot selected under Setup applies.
   
 Pause Pauses recording on your PC (not available for VBrick hard drive recording).
   
File Enter, or browse, to a file name that will be used for recording. Include the full path.  For recording on the VBrick hard drive, only the file name will be used (the path is ignored).
 
Autoname Check to automatically include "_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" to the file name. This makes the file name unique and prevents overwrite.  If you wish to overwrite an existing file, do not select.
 
Duration Enter the MAXIMUM recording duration in whole minutes.  Recording will stop after this duration.  Note: if you will pause the recording, this maximum time still applies (e.g. if you set the duration for 60 minutes, then pause the recording for 15 minutes, the recording will still stop 60 minutes after you first start).  Does not apply to the VBrick hard drive recording.
 
Start Recording On PC Starts recording on PC. If multicast, then the Slot selected under Setup applies.
 
Record on Hard Drive Starts recording on the VBrick hard drive. The Slot selected under Setup applies. NOTE: The VBrick hard drive will record from its associated encoder.  If you have selected URL mode and select hard drive recording, the hard drive will still record from its associated encoder.  The application warns you of this possibility. 

Generally, the IP address entered in Setup and the URL entered should match (e.g. the Setup IP is 192.168.1.100 and the URL is http://192.168.1.100:8080/vbrickvideo1)
