"COUNT" packets sent into a stream over internet

Hi guys! I'm new to this forum... I'm interesting in VLC since few weeks, so now I need your experience for something I can't understand:

is VLC able to "count" or assign a progressive number or something similar to the single packets sent into a stream, so that I can "count" the packets when I receive them on the other pc (for exemple to see how many packets lost?)?

I'm reading all the documentation about it, but it's sooo much! Help me! :wink:

This info is available in the "stream and media info" dialog in the wx widgets interface. (It's also available in one of the HTTP interface's XML request files)

I had already see that dialog, but I have to realize a socket to analyze vlc flux of streaming, so I have to know how vlc count packets ( and if it counts packets ) because if it doesn't count them I have to build a program to add this function, so, I'm trying to find out which is the format of the vlc streaming frame, to know if it has a protocol which gives each packet a progressive number or something similar...

:wink:
