Hi,

I have just started writing wowza server side modules. I have a simple question.

I hit the server using rtmp url with server rtmp://localhost/vod and stream as mp4:sample.mp4

In the module, I want to know how do I print the name of the file requested? I get control inside the function OnConnect when I click on play on the client side. Here I want to do the following:

```auto
System.out.println("File requested = "+client.getStreamName()); 

```

Expected output : File requested = sample.mp4

However I dont see function named getStreamName in IClient class. Its in RTPSession class but my program control doesn’t come within OnRTPSessionCreate function

Please let me know.

Rgds

use

```auto
List<IMediaStream> Names = client.getPlayStreams();
String StreamNames = ""';
if ( Names.size() >0 )
		{
		Iterator<IMediaStream> iter = Names.iterator();
		while(iter.hasNext())
			{
			IMediaStream stream = (IMediaStream)iter.next();
			StreamNames+=stream.getName();
			}
		}
System.out.println("File requested = "+StreamNames); 

```

onConnect is too soon to know the name of a stream that client will publish. You can override play or use IMediaStreamActionNotify3.onPlay(), which will happen server-side after the RTMP client does NetStream.publish()
