Hi,

We are developing a platform where students can login and watch the videos of their college lecturers.

Students will have to purchase plans. Plans will be on the number of hours they can stream. Is there a way to track the time that a particular user has watched an ondemand video?

Hari,

This will require some application development that monitors stream activity and statistics using available datapoints in Wowza Streaming Engine… This resource may be helpful:

Regards,

I can develop convenient module for you, that’s not a big deal.
