MediaStreamer (not responding)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Media Streamer on Windows 2008 SP2 Enterprise (64bit)
2. Try polling 5-10 streams together, it stops responding.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should queue and respond request one by one incase it is not able to handle 
request all together.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using PRTG Network Monitor 8.4.2.2381 
Windows 2008 SP2 Enterprise (64bit) running on Xeon Processor + 16 GB RAM and 1 
TB Drive

I am also wondering, what this folder stores?
C:\PRTG Tools Family\PTF.MediaStream

In the settings page of the MediaStreamer you can determine the maximum number 
of  streams the MediaStreamer will poll at the same time. Please try decreasing 
the number of streams that will be handled simultaneously.

The C:\PRTG Tools Family\PTF.MediaStream folder is used for communications 
between the MediaStreamer and the MediaStream sensor and will only hold 
temporarily files.

Hi Sunil,

You are right. This was still an old version of the sensor. Somehow the newer 
version never got published.

The new version (8.0.1.1) is online now, with a complete new approach and 
rewritten user interface.
Note: this new version also requires the VLC player to be installed.

Regards,
Gerard

Hello Gerard,

Thank you for publishing latest version.

I just removed old and cleanup all temp files and installed latest, it looks 
great with lot of new feature additions but I still see couple issues which I 
am not sure if it is related to app or OS, again I am running it on Windows 
2008 SP2 Enteprise 64bit (.NET 3.x installed as feature)

1) When installing/uninstalling latest edition, I see following error message. 
I already have VLC 1.1.11 installed on machine.

---------
Error 1904.Module c:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Tools Family\PTF 
MediaStreamer\axvlc.dll failed to unregister. HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your 
support personnel.
-------

2) When I click on Play and try to close test player windows, I see following 
error message.

-----
ee the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
