Dear Wowza Community,

iam trying to **get the Stream name from my edge** ( in my edge, module). But the Streamlistener class which implements the **“IMediaStreamActionNotify3” or “IMediaStreamActionNotify2” doenst work.**

the methods **onPlay or OnPublish etc. are not even triggered when the stream starts playing.**

my question:

**how can i get the stream name from the stream it plays?**

thank you very much for your time and help.

kind regards

Does any body has an idea? I need the stream name in my edge module and want to do a database entry like i did in my origin application with the “onPlay and OnPublish” Methods.

thank you for your time and help.

Which wowza version do you use ?

Did you add the module to your modules in conf/xx\_aplication.xml ?

For getting the stream name while the client starts to play you need to override some methods.

ie : for http playback

you need to override

> public void onHTTPSessionCreate(IHTTPStreamerSession httpSession) {
> 
> this.ip = httpSession.getIpAddress();
> 
> this.streamname = httpSession.getStreamName();
> 
> }

Hi oomworld, there is two way to solve this problem .

One of them I know and this one is walking around.

If you generate the stream url dynamically ,

all you need to add the stream name as a query string.

For rtmp query string is like that

rtmp://ip/loadbalance-origin?queryString=streamName/streamName

with this way

you can reach the query string via client on onConnect method .

here is sample code

> public void onConnect(IClient client, RequestFunction function,
> 
> AMFDataList params) {
> 
> this.qs = client.getQueryStr();

and I found another way to get the stream name but not tested yet , I can guess it will work

> List Names = client.getPlayStreams();
> 
> Iterator iter = Names.iterator();
> 
> with the iter.next you can reach , but as I told before , I’ve not worked on it yet.
