monitor data of live streams

[David Riccitelli]

4. Is there a way (or feature) to monitor the actual data coming from the streams? Currently we can know that a channel is up, but may be with no stream or it is just a green screen.

[Jamie] To re-iterate what you and Charlie previously discussed, the best way to do this is to write a custom module to monitor the incoming time codes of a given stream over time to make sure the time codes of the most recent ingested packets are changing. The API calls are IMediaStream getAudioTC and getVideoTC. They will return the timecode of the most recently ingested packet.
