Hi, it was suggested in the main post to put:

/_defaultVHost_/applicationname/_definst_/mystream.stream

I have tried this with no results.

Ok. with that in mind. I have looked in the content folder and I can only see the sample videos.

Has anyone had success with the stats? if so what did they put in the (Mount / Publishing Point / Filter)

PS, sent an email to caster Stats support.

Hello Richard, Ok,

What is it like Sawmill?

Does it have real time stats?

Does it have a web interface?

Produce report and send them via email (pdf)

Thanks

Hello Stefano,

OK. May be you can help me please.

i am playing the sample video with the SimpleVideoStreaming Flash on the website.

I can see on the DOS WMS2 panel that the stream has started. All good (INFO Stream play sample.mp4)

I edit the settings on the streamer editor.

Click test, and its all good. Play the video and it just says that there is “0 connected users”

Click ok and I cannot use any infomraiton about the users or connection. Only that the server status is UP.

anyone knows why when i put

/_defaultVHost_/applicationname/_definst_

everything is ok, but when i want detail per stream

/_defaultVHost_/applicationname/_definst_/stream.sdp

casterstats not working properly…I need to have 1 application per stream if i have 1 application with two separate stream names what can i do?
