Is there a way to read any of the statistics from the "Stream" tab of the "Media Information" dialog over the network?

I need a reliable way to monitor playback on a remote machine, and I thought I might be able to poll one of the stream statistics every few minutes, and raise an alarm if it were zero.

Grateful for any other monitoring ideas people might have.

Yes, run the RC interface.

For windows I parse 'netstat -n'

Here is PHP code:

Code: Select all

<?php
function netstat($ipaddr,$port,$show=0,$protocol="TCP")
{
   $shell_info=shell_exec("%SYSTEMROOT%\\system32\\netstat.exe -n");
   $tmp=explode("\n",$shell_info); $count=0;
   for ($i=4;$i<count($tmp)-1;$i++)
      {
        $line=$tmp[$i];
        ereg (" +([A-Z]+) +([0-9,.]+):([0-9]+) +([0-9,.]+):([0-9]+)  +([A-Z]+)", $line, $regs);
        if ($regs[6]!="ESTABLISHED") continue;
        if ($regs[1]!=$protocol) continue;
        if ($ipaddr&&$regs[2]!=$ipaddr) continue;
        if ($port&&$regs[3]!=$port) continue;
        ++$count;
        if ($show)
          echo $regs[4]./*":".$regs[5].*/"<br>";
      }
   return $count;
}
?>

So if you stream to 'UDP://192.168.0.1:1234' try this:

$n=netstat('192.168.0.1',1234,0,'UDP');

or if you want to output ip-list:

$n=netstat('192.168.0.1',1234,1,'UDP');

where $n is count of listeners.
Use default TCP for http or mmsh streaming:

$n=netstat('192.168.0.1',1234);
