Hi, all:

We have an UI issue. When we create the Streams and SMILs using the UI the ’ Incoming Streams / View by Group’ option of the UI works as expected (grouping streams by smil), however when we populate our streams and smils using the API the ’ View by Group’ button does not work (all streams are shown as ungrouped).

Any ideas how to solve this?

Alberto.

Are you still having trouble with this? Have you created a support ticket as this sounds like a bug?

This is a current bug through the REST API as it appears the SMIL file is missing the .smil extension when configured through the API. You can configure this through the Engine Manager without issue. We apologize for the inconvenience and will work to correct this.
