Logs that show how many people watched a certain stream

[estauss]

Hello,

I apoligize if that has been asked and and answered before.

I recently got a request to see how many people watched a paticular stream. Now I don't really know much about FMS. We are running FMS 3.5 and I set it up many years ago and have not touched it since.

I am just wondering if their is any easy way to determine how many people watched a stream.

Thanks

Try admin api

function timer1(){

    nc_admin.call("getLiveStreams", new onGetLiveStreams(), appName);

}

function onGetLiveStreams() {

    this.onResult = function(ans) {

     for (i = 0; i < ans.data.length; i++){

         nc_admin.call("getLiveStreamStats", new onGetLiveStreamStats(), appName , ans.data);

     }

    }

}

function onGetLiveStreamStats(){

    this.onResult = function(info) {

         if (info.data.publisher){

            trace("info.data.name = " + info.data.publisher.name);

        }

           if (info.data.subscribers){

               //how many people watched a stream.

               trace("info.data.subscribers.length = " + info.data.subscribers.length);

        }

    }

}

application.onAppStart = function (){

    nc_admin.connect("rtmp://localhost:1111/admin", "admin_login", "admin_pass");

    setInterval(timer1, 15000);

}

How would one implement these functions to display the current number of users watching a stream? I haven't used actionscript very much. Is there a way to display the number of users in the strobe media player?

You can try to use these calls on client side.

Also you can send subscribers.length from AMS to your server via LoadVars and read this value from your server.

I'm trying to use the admin api but I keep receiving error: netconnection.admin.commandfailed. I've verified the admin username and password are correct.

Is this the correct syntax to use? For example if I was trying to getUsers on this event.

My event path is : "C:\FMS\applications\livepkgr\_definst_\baseball"

In Internet Explorer I enter the following URL: http://localhost:1111/admin/getUsers?auser=admin&apswd=password&appInst="livepkgr/baseball/"

Thanks for the help.

Make sure under C:\Adobe Media Server 5\conf\Users.xml you have

-

And your server restarted after this edit.

[Mr_Dave]

Not sure what I'm supposed to have? Did you leave some information out?

Thanks!

Thanks. I checked and I already have those admin command permissions defined. Would this be the correct syntax to issue an admin command for my event called 'baseball'?

My event path is : "C:\FMS\applications\livepkgr\_definst_\baseball"

In Internet Explorer I enter the following URL: http://localhost:1111/admin/getUsers?auser=admin&apswd=password&appInst="livepkgr/baseball/"

Thanks!

Quotes aren’t mandatory - http://localhost:1111/admin/getUsers?auser=admin <http://localhost:1111/admin/getUsers?auser=admin&apswd=amspass&appInst=livepkgr/_definst_/baseball> &apswd=amspass&appInst=livepkgr/_definst_/baseball. Apart from that, physical folder location doesn’t always map to RTMP address you use when connecting.
