I can't play my recordings when my recorded streams are pushed to S3

This is caused because Ant Media is trying to watch Vods on your machine while recordings are somewhere else. You can achieve playing these by http forwarding.

I assume that you already added your S3 account to Ant Media Server since you are recording to that destination

• Open the file {AMS-DIR} / webapps / {APPLICATION} / WEB-INF / red5-web.properties
• Add comma separated file extensions like this settings.httpforwarding.extension=mp4 to the file
  • If you want to save your preview images, add png as well.
• Add the base URL with settings.httpforwarding.baseURL=https://{s3BucketName}.s3.{awsLocation}.amazonaws.com for forwarding.
  • Please replace {s3BucketName} with your own URL and {awsLocation}. Please pay attention that there is no leading or trailing white spaces.

If you did correctly the steps above, your vod playing request will be like following: https://{s3BucketName}.s3.{awsLocation}.amazonaws.com/streams/{streamId.mp4}
