Screenshare Recording not working

[nvazquezg]

Description We've defined a Stream to share the screen using the example available in licode-demos project here

Everything works fine with stream publishing and subscribing, but when we try to record it, there are no files generated in the recordings path. If we record any other stream without screen, it generates a file in the recordings path.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Start a stream sharing any screen:

myScreen = Erizo.Stream({screen: true, video: {mandatory: {maxWidth: 1280, maxHeight: 720}}, attributes: {name: 'Pantalla Compartida'}});

2. Start a recording of that stream:

room.startRecording(myScreen, function(recordingId, error) {
  if (recordingId === undefined){
    console.log("Error", error);
  } else {
    console.log("Recording started, the id of the recording is ", recordingId);
  }
});   

3. Check the Erizo logs to see if there are any errors. There are no errors:

4. Stop the recording if you like, it doesn't make any difference. There are no errors:

The same exact problem happens using VP8 and H264 as the video encoding in the room.
