[image] [beta testing] nodes for live streaming mp4 But some time ago @hotNipi has created a very nice ui widget ( node-red-contrib-ui-state-trail ) There is one issue with this - and it is already being discussed on Github. There is no persistence. When you switch between another dashboard tab…

[image] mpxd: There is no persistence There is persistence if you enable it in node-RED settings.

Hi Paul, do you mean this? [image] A guide to understanding 'Persistent Context' General This is something I wrote up after playing with the context options. I've filed a PR with some of this added to the Node-RED documentation but thought I'd release it here also. I hop…

[image] mpxd: do you mean this? It means creating a filesystem context store as described in the docs .

If you read that guide, it should (hopefully) help you understand what 'Persistant Context' is and how to use it. As @Paul-Reed said and the dovument says, you have to enable it in settings.js

Hey @Paul-Reed , is it possible to split this into a separate discussion, otherwise we are going way too much off-topic for the live mp4 streaming. Thanks!!!! EDIT - Done! (Paul)

I don't have Node-RED in front of me right now. But from the documentation I would say I just have to set default contextStorage to localfilesystem and the timeline should store everything to file? I will give this a try. Thank you!

From the writeup: SUGGESTION: If you want have all your context data be persistant, setup your settings.js file with the following: contextStorage: { default : { module: "localfilesystem"} },

State trail indicates availability and condition of storage like this: If persistence is not configured [image] If is configured and in use [image] The name of stroage ("default" in this case) and count of data points in storage.
