I'm trying to put a log in our database every time someone plays a video.

However I notice this is blasting in (oddly enough) 11 entries each time :x :

The Eclipse console output doesn't show this happening though at least from the debug messages I've put in there...

If I hit the URL directly I only see a single log entry (as expected).

The box can make multiple range requests for a piece of content. There's no way to prevent that.

Most channels implement tracking more explicitly using either the isStreamStarted or isPlaybackPosition event to trigger a request to the respective analytic system.
