Using Stream Session Analyzer

Learn how to reach the Stream Session Analyzer from the Stream Monitor, read the input feed stability graph, review performance details and troubleshoot streaming quality issues.

Overview

Stream Session Analyzer gives you detailed performance metrics and input feed stability data for your live streams. Use it with the Stream Monitor to review bitrate graphs, connection stability and performance details during or after a broadcast. This helps you troubleshoot quality issues and find connection problems.


​

How to Access Stream Session Analyzer

Stream Session Analyzer works alongside the Stream Monitor, the page where you start, watch and control the stream for a match. Each match's stream has its own Stream Monitor page.

  1. Go to Matches and find your match, for example Harbour City (HCF) v Ridgeview (RVR).

  2. Click the drop-down arrow to expand the match and open the Stream Monitor for its stream.

  3. On the Stream Monitor, check the Input card to see whether the camera feed is coming in. Click Details to see the frame rate, resolution and region.

  4. Look at the timeline along the bottom of the Stream Monitor to see when the stream and the input were live.

The three-dot menu on the Stream Monitor holds Stream Settings, Match Notes and LiveScore.

Understanding the Input Feed Stability Graph

The analyzer shows a graph of your input feed's stability over time. This graph tracks the bitrate and connection quality of the video feed coming into LIGR Live from your camera or encoder.

The graph helps you identify:

  • Periods where the input feed dropped or became unstable

  • Bitrate fluctuations during the stream

  • Connection quality issues that affected stream output

  • Patterns of instability that may point to network problems


​

Reviewing Performance Details

Below the stability graph, Stream Session Analyzer shows detailed performance metrics for your stream session. These details give technical information about your stream's performance throughout the broadcast. Use them to:

  • Check the stream kept the expected bitrate levels

  • Confirm connection stability throughout the match

  • Record stream quality for post-match review

  • Find the specific time periods where quality dropped


​

Using the Analyzer to Troubleshoot Quality Issues

When you have streaming quality problems, Stream Session Analyzer helps you find the cause. Start with the input feed stability graph:

  • Drops in the graph point to input connection problems

  • Consistently low bitrate suggests not enough upload bandwidth

  • Intermittent spikes and drops point to network instability

  • A flat, stable graph means the issue is likely elsewhere

If the graph shows instability, the problem is with your input source (camera, encoder or network connection to LIGR Live). If the graph is stable but viewers report quality issues, check your destination platform settings or the viewers' internet connections.

When to Check Stream Analytics

Check Stream Session Analyzer in these situations:

  • During live streams when quality issues occur

  • After broadcasts, to review overall stream performance

  • When troubleshooting viewer complaints about quality

  • To check your streaming setup before important matches

  • When comparing performance across different matches or venues, such as LIGR Demo Stadium
