” on page 80.

Click View Applications.

Click Streams.

Select an application from the list. The Streams panel displays the following information:
•
Name: For NetStream streams, the name is the NetStream ID (a server-generated number). For a live stream
being published, the entry displays the live stream name. For a recorded steam, the entry displays the FLV or
MP3 filename; for example, flv:stream2.flv or mp3:sound.mp3. If a client requests the stream2.flv, there will be
two entries: one for flv:stream2.flv (stored) and one for the actual network stream going to the client.
•
Type: A string that describes the type of stream, either stored, live, or NetStream.
5
Select a stream to view its properties. The values of the properties are as follows:
•
Name: The actual stream name, not streamID.
•
Status: States if the stream is publishing, playing live, or playing recorded.
•
Client: The client ID playing the stream.
•
Time: The time that the client started playing the stream.
Note:
If the stream type is available for debugging, the Administration Console displays its properties in the adjoining
panel. If the type is not available for debugging, an error message is displayed.
6
Click Play Stream to start playing the selected stream in a separate window that is the size of the selected stream.
(The Play Stream button appears only if a debug connection is possible. Only named streams can be played.)
