Media Server must allocate storage for a rolling buffer before it can write encoded video to the buffer. Allocating storage is not instantaneous so to ensure that Media Server can start recording from a stream immediately, pre-allocate storage before you start a session.
To pre-allocate storage in the rolling buffer
Send the PreAllocateStorage
action to Media Server:
http://localhost:14000/action=PreAllocateStorage
For more information about this action, refer to the Media Server Reference.
