Server Logs Incorrect x-Duration Fields (240272)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Media Player 6.2
  • Microsoft Windows Media Services 4.0

This article was previously published under Q240272

SYMPTOMS

The server may log incorrect x-duration times with a Windows Media Player client playing for several hours. The x-duration time will be much larger than an expected time, such as 40000 seconds. A more reasonable time would be, for example, 600 seconds.

RESOLUTION

Upgrade to the latest version of the Windows Media Player. This problem only occurs with Windows Media Player version 6.2.5.410 beta.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows Media Services version 4.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The x-duration field is the length of time in seconds a client played content prior to a client event (FF, REW, Pause, Stop, or jump to marker). A log entry is generated whenever one of these client events occurs.
