Description

Describe how to replicate the issue

Saved mp4 files are no longer deleted after x hours

My config:

-- Default path settings -> Recording

-- Record streams to disk.
record: yes
-- Path of recording segments.
-- Extension is added automatically.
-- Available variables are %path (path name), %Y %m %d %H %M %S %f (time in strftime format)
recordPath: ./recordings/%path/%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S-%f
-- Format of recorded segments.
-- Available formats are "fmp4" (fragmented MP4) and "mpegts" (MPEG-TS).
recordFormat: fmp4
-- fMP4 segments are concatenation of small MP4 files (parts), each with this duration.
-- MPEG-TS segments are concatenation of 188-bytes packets, flushed to disk with this period.
-- When a system failure occurs, the last part gets lost.
-- Therefore, the part duration is equal to the RPO (recovery point objective).
recordPartDuration: 100ms
-- Minimum duration of each segment.
recordSegmentDuration: 1h
-- Delete segments after this timespan.
-- Set to 0s to disable automatic deletion.
recordDeleteAfter: 4h

I want to add the following: if recordDeleteAfter is set to 0s, a file is deleted immediately. Here is the information from logs:

2023/10/19 17:37:36 DEB [path 192.168.151.12] [record] creating segment /data/mtx/192.168.151.12/20231019T173736.mp4

Hello, i found out that the record cleaning system was not working in case of relative paths. This is fixed by #2673
