media access by url
Hi all,
When I am accessing the media through web browser, on what basis the urls are generated?
for once the url is http://10.1.1.120:9001/play/85 and when I restart the server or browse from a different machine, the url id changes to something else. Can somebody explain me the logic with this?
Any help is appreciated Thanks.

Re: media access by url
It is specific to renderer and its IP address plus UMS session where IDs are generated as user browse the files and folders.
Logically every UMS restart it generates new IDs so they are not persistent.
Imagine playing fakefile.mkv:
Once you browse folder with this file, it will create unique ID for every line you see on renderer so if you browse TRANSCODE folder you will get many different IDs for same file. Different ID will direct to same file but different engine like direct streaming, transcoding by MEncoder, FFmpeg, different audio and subtitle track combinations etc...
So e.g. http://192.168.123.45:5001/get/207/fakefile.mkv will play MEncoder version with Japan audio but http://192.168.123.45:5001/get/211/fakefile.mkv will stream file directly.
So in your case 85 is this unique ID (btw. your example definitely is not from UMS
)
