Hi,

in my module I have an instance of IClient which is a Flash client playing a VOD stream. In this case the IClient.getPlayStreams() returns an empty list. How can I find out which video this client is playing actually?

Thanks

Sorry, I was querying the streams too early, before actually it started playing. When playing, the first stream’s name is set to the video file’s name, so it’s fine.

Glad you got this figured out, thanks for the update.
