Re: Record only played portions of video. wmrecorder proxy mode


Thanks for the reply, and thanks fo the entire message board!

ADA mode DOES seem to work, except for the following:

- ADA mode only seems to capture the URL, then uses that to access and download the entire stream. I want to be able to monitor what is actually WATCHED. With ADA mode (as best I can tell) there would be no way to distinguish between someone simply clicking a link and someone actually watching a video (or portion thereof)

- Because ADA mode starts downloading the entire stream, it immediately consumes 99% of the internet bandwidth, also affecting video viewing for the user.

Man, I've looked into the Wireshark (ethereal) mailing list. I have tried setting up an actual proxy server, which did not seem to help. There has got to be SOMETHING that can do this!

If I have to setup the capturing pc as a media proxy server, by golly I will do it! But I just cannot seem to find out how.
