I write a module for live application, I check sessionid when client connect to streaming server. The client is adroid media player 4.0 that play URL with query String : [http://ip/xxx/playlist.m3u8?xxx=yyy](http://ip/xxx/playlist.m3u8?xxx=yyy) . But when i check log, wowza create two sessions for one request play. what problem in here ☹ ?

We’re not sure why that happens exactly, but iOS devices do the same thing: create two sessions. One is always unused and can be ignored.

I have the same problem here…

I have to bind the onHTTPCupertinoStreamingSessionCreate and onHTTPCupertinoStreamingSessionDestroy.

But how can I identify witch is the streaming Session and not the other??
