Hello All,

There is a PLAYER ID field in log sent by client to media
server. My question is there is a option to not to send the unique
player id to server because of privacy sake, so what is the default
setting for embedded player(Activex)? Does activex control playing
stream from media server send this value to media server?

Thanks a lot in advance.

The privacy options are client side on the Privacy tab under "Send
unique player ID to content providers", so that's under the users
control (since it's their provacy option ;-)
