Hi I am using Openvidu REST APIs for starting and stopping the recording. At my end I’m able to start the recording but when stopping, the API throws a 500 error and sends this as response: “The recording completion process couldn’t finish in 30 seconds. Code: 701”. But the recording is present in openvidu server. What am I doing wrong here ? And by the way we are using Openvidu 2.23.0 : on premises ---

Is this happening to you in a prod environment? This may happen if the container which starts is not able to access the session via `DOMAIN_OR_PUBLIC_IP` mostly because of hairpinning issues. Does your server allow hairpinning? You can also try with env variable `OPENVIDU_RECORDING_COMPOSED_URL`. Check this configuration parameter here: [OpenVidu configuration - OpenVidu Docs](https://docs.openvidu.io/en/2.28.0/reference-docs/openvidu-config/) Try in CE: OPENVIDU\_RECORDING\_COMPOSED\_URL=https://\/dashboard or in PRO: OPENVIDU\_RECORDING\_COMPOSED\_URL=https://\/inspector
