I make a record using INDIVIDUAL mode, but sometimes the webm file does not exist even though the session has been successfully created on KMS. There are also times when the size of webm files is zero.  
Someone know it?  
The environment:

- VPS : Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-176-generic x86\_64)
- OpenVidu 2.11.0 ( I also tried using version 2.12.0, 2.14.0)
- openviduRecording 2.9.0.

–\> Thanks for help!!!

Have you tried new beta recording container?

> Hello, OpenVidu community! We have been working this past few days in improving the COMPOSED recording behavior. We have built a brand new Docker image (as COMPOSED recording uses a Docker container to record the session) and we would like anyone using COMPOSED recording to try it. Especially to rule out any possible regression or incompatibilities. To try the new beta version of the recording container it is just as easy as adding to the OpenVidu .env configuration file (in OpenVidu installat…

Thank you! I will try it. But I want to use INDIVIDUAL mode.  
Do you have any information regarding my issue?

Are you writing these files directly in linux system drive or using NFS mount or S3 bucket?

Openvidu logs shows somenthing different in these failed records? Could you share them?

As @Thiago_Henrique says, please, give us more information about your problem. OpenVidu logs could help. Also, if the problem is the same for all OpenVidu versions, try to use the most recent version (2.14.0).

So sorry, I don’t know where the logs were written.  
I have followed this tutorial ( [https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.12.0/deployment/deploying-ubuntu/](https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.12.0/deployment/deploying-ubuntu/) ).  
Please tell me, path for I can get OpenVidu Logs?  
Thanks so much!

I see. Instructions from 2.12.0 does not indicate how to execute OpenVidu and redirect logs. Please, can you update to 2.14.0 and try to reproduce the bug again?

Version 2.14.0 use docker-compose and logs are stored automatically. You can check it just by using:

```auto
docker-compose logs openvidu-server

```

Thank you for response! … 😃  
I want to make an app video call (with record) on mobile. But because my server has less powerful hardware, so I want to offload the server portion of the record using INVIDUAL mode.  
I tried the OpenVidu version 2.9.0 -\> 2.14.0.  
It seems the most stable at version 2.11.0. Most other versions have a problem saving the webm file.  
[Phenomena]:

- For versions lower than 2.13.0; Device A call to Device B, after the end of the conversation, only one webm file of Device A or B exists on the server, sometimes there is only one webm file of A / B but the size of file is 0 bytes. But the phenomenon is often The most frequent is there are 2 webm files of both A and B but 1 of 2 has the size of file is 0 bytes.
- For versions of OpenVidu 2.13.0 and above, it seems that I have never had enough 2 webm files of Device A and Device B. There are even cases where there is only 1 webm file but the size of file is 0 bytes.

Please can you share with us KMS logs?

Please can you share a sample application so we can reproduce your issues in your exact scenario? If you can not share your current code, can you prepare an app based on official tutorials so we can understand and execute quickly to discover the issue?

Best regards

Yes. I tried at version 2.14.0 today, the results seem a bit better. But it still often incomplete webm file on the server.
