How to send a player log to IBM Video Streaming Support

If you experience problems viewing a particular stream, sending a log to our support team will help us troubleshoot and potentially find the root cause of the issue(s).

To send logs from the html5 player, follow these steps:
  1. Click inside the player. This sets the cursor and browser focus inside of the player.
  2. Right-Click inside the player (CTRL+Click on Mac).
  3. Click on 'Troubleshoot playback issue', and then select the type of issue you are experiencing from the dropdown menu. Then click 'Create Issue ID'.

  5. Submit a ticket explaining the issue, pasting the log ID that you just copied. Please note that while the first instinct when encountering a problem would be to refresh the video player, doing so will also "reset" the experience and result in generating a new log. Only send a log immediately after encountering a viewing problem.
