  Live stats for WMS - show IP count etc Reply Contact  Hi I am new to this forum so please bear with me!   I had an account with CAMSTREAMS, used for streaming live video on the web.  Its free to use.  The best thing about it was that you could click "Live Viewer Count" and it told you the number of current IP addresses, watching your stream The other benefit was, you could click the IP address and it would give you the IP address Hostname - there for allowing you to see where in the world that viewer is located. i.e XX?/?XXX?X.btinternet.co.uk - someone in the UK.  You are allowed to click this every 15secs minimum, to see the most uptodate figures.   Problem is, I needed more bandwidth, so had to move servers - my mate now hosts the stream from his own server, and he isnt sure how to set this all up, and neither of us know how to make this type of code in IIS.   So, my plea here is for help on this.  Camstreams gave me 'some' info, but its not everything to simply sit down and make it all work.   Can anyone here help me please? Thanks in advance. Jonny

Code to reverse DNS (or even a  geolocation lookup) lookup the IP and display it for one thing.   Most overused word in IT is 'should' as in 'That should work!?!'

  Re: Live stats for WMS - show IP count etc Reply Contact Rovastar, Thanks for your post. Yes, its something they have written, and they gave me a piece of the code that gives you the IP addresses (so im told) - I havent actually done anything with it yet. I just know it was very very handy to see who many people are actually on our webcast stream at the given time, and you can also get a geographical idea where they are located. Im trying to get it pit together, for our Church, which webcasts their morning services, and when we were with Camstreams you could see all the stats, and they went down a treat in the committee meetings - but as we needed the increased bandwidth, we had to shift.   I would be prepared to give a small reward, to someone if they could work with me on getting this up and running.   Regards, Jonny
