Feature Request: start/stop recording by http.

[YiguiDing]

Describe the feature

Description

Can we add an http interface to control the recording of the stream? To control the recording status of multiple streams.

for example:

http://localhost:9997/v3/recordings/{streamName}?state=start
http://localhost:9997/v3/recordings/{streamName}?state=stop

If record:yes is configured in mediamtx.yml, it seems that it will cause multiple streams to be recorded at the same time

This can be done setting record:yes on the specific camera-path:

E.g through using the PATCH API:
https://bluenviron.github.io/mediamtx/#operation/configPathsPatch

paths:
  CAM-01:
    source: rtsp://....
    record: yes

Hello,

If record:yes is configured in mediamtx.yml, it seems that it will cause multiple streams to be recorded at the same time

Yes, this is a current limitation, there are two ways to go:

• create a configuration for each specific path, as @yelodevopsi suggested
• otherwise, the ability to control recordings for each specific path, associated to a single, global configuration ("all_others") is being tracked here: #3718
