Hey Walter, I really appreciate your help to test this feature!! All your feedback makes sense to me... > [@krambriw](#): > > in a ui Besides the flow editor ui, I have also been playing with ideas to show the stored videos graphically in the dashboard on a _ **tlmeline** _. Because when I'm not home, I want to be able to navigate through my recordings easily. And to be able to replay those recordings easily, to have a quick look about what has been going on in my house. To make this [timeline](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/announce-node-red-contrib-ui-state-trail-features/20539/3) possible,our friend @hotNipi has added lots of functionality to his state trail node... However it is not clear to me whether we can configure such a timeline based on the file names and file dates... Can you please share a screenshot of the files in your file explorer, so I can get an idea of how it looks like. > [@krambriw](#): > > option to configure path for videos Damn it is so inconvenient that I cannot test this myself at the moment 😟 Isn´t that the purpose of the second output, to store the footage e.g. via the File-out node? But now I'm confused whether the files will be stored in that case in two locations: files stored by the Frag-node and files stored by the File-out node? Because that would require quite some disk resources, or not? --- _[View the full topic](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/storing-video-as-mp4/41911)._
