Statistics Panel

The Statistics Panel, which is opened from the View menu, goes beyond simple curiosity to a crazed "need to know" ... but we're that way, too!

That's one of the reasons that it's here for you to use.

Mainly, though, it's a very good diagnostic tool when you aren't receiving smooth audio or visual streams.

There are three views of statistics available to you:

  1. Bandwidth offers general information about the speed at which your Player is receiving data. The information is for the sum of all streams of the current clip. The graph showing the actual receive rate over time runs right to left, with the most recent to the right.

  2. Packets offers information on the packet level of the data coming to your computer. The information is for the sum of all streams in the current clip.

  3. Streams offers specific information about individual streams coming to your Player. You can only view the statistics for an individual stream on this tab.

Some statistics are not displayed during local (non-streamed) playback.
