PreAllocateStorage
Allocates storage in a rolling buffer.
Media Server must allocate storage before it can write video to a rolling buffer. By default, Media Server allocates storage the first time it needs to write to the rolling buffer. Allocating storage is not instantaneous so this could delay the start of recording.
To ensure that Media Server can start recording immediately, use this action to allocate storage before you start processing.
Type: Asynchronous
Parameter | Description | Required |

Stream

Response
This is an asynchronous action, so it returns a token:
<autnresponse> <action>PREALLOCATESTORAGE</action> <response>SUCCESS</response> <responsedata> <token>MTAuMi4xMDQuODI6MTQwMDA6UFJFQUxMT0NBVEVTVE9SQUdFOjI0OTE5MzMxMQ==</token> </responsedata> </autnresponse>
You can use the token with the QueueInfo action to retrieve the action response:
<autnresponse> <action>QUEUEINFO</action> <response>SUCCESS</response> <responsedata> <actions> <action> <status>Finished</status> <queued_time>2014-Oct-23 17:36:13</queued_time> <time_in_queue>0</time_in_queue> <process_start_time>2014-Oct-23 17:36:13</process_start_time> <time_processing>72</time_processing> <process_end_time>2014-Oct-23 17:37:25</process_end_time> <token>MTAuMi4xMDQuODI6MTQwMDA6UFJFQUxMT0NBVEVTVE9SQUdFOjI0OTE5MzMxMQ==</token> </action> </actions> </responsedata> </autnresponse>
