togglerecord

A multistream valve-like plugin that ensures multiple streams start/end at the same time.

It supports both live and non-live input and toggles recording via the record property. Live inputs will be dropped when not recording, while non-live inputs will be blocked.

Use cases

The is-live property refers to whether the output of the element will be live. So, based on whether the input is live and on whether the output is-live, we have these four behaviours:

• Live input + is-live=false:

  • While not recording, drop input
  • When recording is started, offset to collapse the gap

• Live input + is-live=true:

  • While not recording, drop input
  • Don't modify the offset

• Non-live input + is-live=false:

  • While not recording, block input
  • Don't modify the offset

• Non-live input + is-live=true:

  • While not recording, block input
  • When recording is started, offset to current running time
