The IP address is represented as an integer. For example, 3232235818 decimal converts to C0A8012A hexadecimal, which translates to 192.168.1.42
|
mEventTime
|
The timestamp of when the event occurred. The timestamp is represented in seconds since the start of Unix epoch time.1
|
mOperation
|
The operation that was taking place when the stream failed. For example: createStream, LSCP Command(), createServant, destroy. These are the measurement points or transactional states of the system at the time of the failure. See Table 5-8 on page 5-20 for more information.
|
mErrorCode
|
The error code provides a description of the event that caused the error. See Table 5-8 on page 5-20 for more information.
|
mOperand
|
The operand that was being operated on at the time of the failure, for example, the StreamID is the operand if a stream was being created or controlled at the time of failure.
|
mTask
|
The failed task is the event category indicating the type of execution sequence that the call stack was currently within at the time of the failure. See Table 5-8 on page 5-20 for more information.

Stream Activity Reports
The Stream Activity Reports archive contains all trick mode and play actions of all streams within the given 24-hour period. Table 6-8 describes the fields that are exported to the CSV file.
Table 6-8 Stream Activity Report Fields
Field
|
Description
|
mSessionId
|
The session ID of the stream.
|
mActionTime
|
The timestamp when the stream activity occurred. The timestamp is represented in seconds since the start of Unix epoch time.1
|
mServerId
|
The server ID of the Streamer that is providing the stream.
|
mOpState
|
The operational state is not used and is always zero (0).
|
mStreamState
|
Stream state is not used and is always zero (0).
|
mSpeed
|
Speed direction is as follows:
•1 means play
•0 means not paused/stopped
•n means n times fast-forward
•-n means n times rewind
|
mNptOffset
|
The current point in time (milliseconds) where the stream is on the set-top box, based on from NPT and to NPT.
|
mDestroyedReason
|
This field is only populated if the stream is destroyed by the CDS orphan stream handler. The CDS orphan stream handler only destroys a stream for one of the following two reasons:
•Orphan session is detected
•LSCP timeout maximum has been reached
