Hi guys. Is there a way to configure video codec for files in individual recording archive? As far as I can see currently it always use VP8, no mater what is setted in OPENVIDU\_STREAMS\_FORCED\_VIDEO\_CODEC in openvidu-server config or what codecs are availabe in SdpEndpoint.conf.json on Kurrento’s side.  
Will apreciate any help.
