Abstract
A system for monitoring digital content, including streaming media having one or more client test machines configured to receive and test digital content; one or more streaming servers configured to read content and provide the digital content to the client test machines; and one or more application servers configured to provide a test data file, having a URL to an item of the digital content, to the client test machines. The client test machines store the test results and transmit them to an application server for analysis. The application server may aggregate the information and sort the information via various categories of test results to pinpoint the location of potential points of failure along the path providing the digital content.
