Client Sessions

This report provides information about active and finished multicast sessions in a form similar to the Unicast sessions report. The difference lies in the set of displayed parameters that are more relevant for the analysis of multicast sessions.

Description of the table parameters:

Session type:

  • L — live TV stream;
  • VOD — VoD content;
  • STANDBY — the session is in the standby mode;
  • OTHER — the subscriber device is authorized in the system, but the content has not been launched yet.

UID

Channel

Name and ID of the channel being viewed.

Note: the channel name is requested by its ID in the corresponding SmartTUBE dictionary.

Content

CPU count

Number of events on abnormal CPU usage of subscriber device during the session.

Mem count

Number of events on abnormal memory usage of subscriber device during the session.

Buffering events

Number of completed stream buffering events on the subscriber device.

App version

Version of the client app installed on the end-user device

Firmware version

Clicking on a row opens detailed information about selected session:

This screen includes several sections that allow you to understand what processes and events occurred on the end-user device during the multicast session:

  • Device info
  • Session info
  • Storage
  • Client events
  • Decoding events
  • Session quality
  • Session counters

Device info

This panel provides general information about the end-user device:

Parameter

Description

UID

Unique ID of the subscriber device (UID).

Hardware ID

Verified session — a session with low quality and/or duration of more than a minute.

Unverified session — a session with good quality and duration less than a minute (the subscriber switched to the channel, but did not watch it not because of quality problems, but in search of the desired content). Information on such a session is deleted from DB.

This event is sent at intervals specified by parameter storageCheckInterval in the configuration file setup.json of SmartTUBE app.

Client events

The Graph tab of this panel allows you to analyze the client-side events during the session session. And the Table tab provide you with an extra info passed to the SmartCARE with each event.

The events are generated by the player integrated with the client app or by the app itself. Event data are passed to the SmartCARE via the SmartCARE API for End-User Devices and described below:

Start

Threshold memory

The memory and CPU utilization exceeded one of the following thresholds on the STB:

  • Memory Normal Level (default threshold – 60%)
  • Memory Critical Level (default threshold – 75%)
  • Memory Blocker Level (default threshold – 80%)
  • CPU Critical Level (default threshold – 80%)

The default STB behavior when these thresholds are exceeded is as follows:

  • Memory Normal Level exceeded — the CPU monitoring timer or reboot timer resets to 60 and 5 seconds respectively.
  • Memory Critical Level exceeded — in standby mode, the reboot timer starts; in the other mode, the reboot timer starts when the STB goes into standby mode.
  • Memory Blocker Level exceeded — in standby mode, the STB reboots immediately; in other mode, the STB reboots immediately when the CPU utilization level exceeds CPU Critical Level.

This event is sent at intervals specified by parameter memThresholdCheckInterval in the configuration file setup.json of SmartTUBE app.
