Recording Modes and States

Note: The following information is only relevant when using the native recording features of Channel Recorder.

The first time Channel Recorder runs, it will have the schedule state. Channel Recorder supports three modes of recordings: schedule, loop and crash. All three modes share the same timeline and writers, thus some kind of logic is needed to avoid conflicting each other operations. The following logic applies:

Crash and loop have the same level of priority:

  • When a crash recording is running a loop recording can not be started.

  • When a loop recording is running a crash recording can not be started.
