3.2.4.1 Notification That the Last Data Packet Has Been Sent

  • Article

This event occurs when the value of the State variable in the abstract data model is STREAMING, and the higher layer notifies the server that the last Data packet has been sent.

The server MUST fill in the fields of a LinkMacToViewerReportEndOfStream (section 2.2.4.5) message.

The higher layer MUST specify if a new ASF file header is forthcoming, so that there are additional entries in the server-side playlist, or, if this is the last entry in the playlist, so that the hr field in the LinkMacToViewerReportEndOfStream message can be filled in correctly. The hr field MUST be set to 0x00000001 if there are additional entries in the server-side playlist, and MUST be set to 0x0000000 otherwise.<47>

If the value of the hr field is not set to 0x00000001, the value of the State variable MUST be set to READY.

If the value of the State variable is READY, the Idle-Timeout timer MUST be started.
