We have an application which tracks IHTTPStreamerSession during on onHTTPStreamerSessionCreate and onHTTPStreamerSessionDestroy events so that we can log viewer data. I am noticing that when our players (VLC, JW, ffplay, etc) append HTTP queries like “?param1=val1&param2=val2” which we use to track sources, an onHTTPStreamerSessionCreate event is called for every chunklist.m3u8 request. If no HTTP query is appended, the Wowza tracks a single IHTTPStreamerSession per player connection.

Any advice on what may be configured in the application to prevent this behavior?

I’ve discovered the problem source. No need for follow-up.
