Hello,

I am using Wowza Streaming engine to multicast my streams from Crestron HD Capture. I want to limit on number of streams.

When limit is exhausted VLC player just gives the error" File cannot be played".

My querry is Can we customised the message to users?

Hello,

It is the player (VLC) showing that message. We can’t customize that.
