Some Recording are in Stopped status after several hours, and now i am not able to delete this. while deleting its throwing 409 error.

I think this issue happen when i tried to start recording in same session when there was already a recording running.

I have 7-8 recording as stopped status and i can not do anything with that and Now i am not able to create new session , its throwing error “There was an error connecting to the session: 204 There is no available Media Node where to initialize session”

How to clear the stopped recording and why this happen.

Note that this is CE version (2.15.0) deployed on our server.

Yes after restarting openvidu its working now.

not sure what went wrong that cause this issue.

Is trying to start recording multiple times even if its already recording can cause this issue ? although this step throw an exception 409
