How to see your Slingbox Stats LIVE!

[article image]

Have you ever needed to see just what your Slingbox is doing? Is it sending you a 640*480 stream, 320*240? What Bitrate are you getting? What's your average bitrate?

These numbers can definitely help you troubleshoot any problems you may have.

Here is how you do can see these stats.

When running your Sling Player hold down the ALT the SHIFT and "I" button. A window should pop up and show you your stats.

Here is what it looks like:

So, next time you are wondering what your Slingplayer is actually doing, or need to troubleshoot it. Try the ALT>SHIFT >I function.

In MAC it's very easy just open the Slingplayer and while the Slingbox is streaming video click on the VIEW menu in the top then press the "Atl" key and while is pressed select "Show statics window" and you will get the statics.

Oh sweet. I was wondering how to do that! Brandon told me about the PC statistics window some time ago and I never could figure it out on the Mac side. I kept trying key combinations. Didn't think to use a menu-key combo..

That is a great question. You might try a few things, but I will give it a try once I get a chance to connect using my mobile. Will let you know if I figure something out.
