We are making an application that is basically serving students so as expected most of the clients who access are the students who are accessing behind the university firewalls. We have some issues with the RTMPT (Tunnel RTMP over Port 80) at many places. May be there are some issues with the respective firewalls of those places.

Therefore out management has decided to switch to Live HTTP as that is reported to be working fine at all these places which has some issues with RTMPT

However one of the issues that we are facing is that that we unable to monitor number of LIVE streams or Number of Clients (Students) who are connected to our stream?

Is there any workaround to measure how many users are online without the involvement of RTMP/RTMPT protocols?

Hi ,

Right now there is no way from FMS end to let you know no of live http HDS/ HLS Streams. The Admin API which we provide work only for RTMP flavors.

You can search over net if there is some tool which does intelligent parsing of Apache logs and provides some useful data. Hopefully you find something.

This is something which has been requsted by many users and sooner rather than latter we can provide something to user but cannot promise anything right now.

Hope this helps.

Yes I know about various Apache Monitoring Tools, However they will log the apache requests. As HTTP is basically a non-multimedia delievery protocol so I guess it'll be difficult to different between the normal requests and the stream requests. Let me do more R&D. Thanks. Please keep this discussion updated if any solution found.
