  Shame, no answers. *bump*

  I'm running into the same problem. WMS on our production server works fine but the monitor window shows 0 connected players for all publishingpoints. Another thing that maybe related to this issue: I can't find the Windows Media Services performance counter in the performance monitor (perfmon). Our backup WMS server does show the the Windows Media Services performance counter so something strange is going on.

  Hope someone can help!

  Thanks in advance!

  If the clients are connecting by multicast is normal that you don’t get the number of client players connected. Try the unicast connection to see if the numbers are updating. In that case I think you don’t have a problem.

  We don't use multicast, only unicast (on-demand) but thanks for the reply! :)

  Do you see the correct counters in Performance Monitor for Windows Media Services?  If not, then there may be an issue with the way the perf counters are registered.  And this would explain why they are not in the WMS Admin on the Monitor tab.

  We have uninstalled and reinstalled streaming server role and restored it from servernamespace.xml file. After restore, WM Server is working fine but we do not see counters working. Infact counters are missing under Performance & Reliability Monitor.

  OS - Windows 2008 SP2

  any help will be really appreciated !

  Try this for reloading the performance counters:

  1. Open an administrative command prompt (Start / All Programs / Accessories / Right click on Command Prompt / Run as Administrator).
  2. Type in:
      cd \windows\inf\wmserver
  3. Run the command:
      Lodctr.exe .\0409\wmsperf.ini

  This should hopefully properly load the counters into the registry for US-English versions of the operating system.  Try opening Performance Monitor and see if the Windows Media Services object is listed.  If not, then we may have an additional problem.  The WMS performance registry key may have values that are actually the wrong type.  To inspect / correct this value, do the following:

  1. Start / Run / regedit.exe.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WMServer\Performance
  3. One of the values in this key is ‘Library’.  This will point to %SystemRoot%\system32\wmsperf.dll, however it may be the wrong type of value.  It *should* be a REG_EXPANDED_SZ.  If it is a REG_SZ then we need to change it.  Only do these next steps if the Library value is REG_EXPANDED_SZ.
      a.  Delete the ‘Library’ value (and only this value).
      b.  Choose Edit / New / Expanded String Value.
      c.  For the name type in:
       Library
      d.  Double click on it and add the value:
       %SystemRoot%\system32\wmsperf.dll

   Hopefully at this will fix the problem.

  Library value is already REG_EXPAND_SZ.

  One thing to verify is that the counters are in fact loaded as far as lodctr.exe sees.

  1. Open an administrative command prompt (Start / All Programs / Accessories / Right click on Command Prompt / Run as Administrator).
  2. Type in:
     cd \users\<yourUserName>\desktop
     (of course substitute <yourUserName> with the user account name you're currently logged in as)
  3. lodctr /s:counters.txt
  4. Open the counters.txt in Notepad.
  5. Verify that you see something similar to:
     
     [PERF_WMServer]
     First Counter=9960
     First Help=9961
     Last Counter=10126
     Last Help=10127
     
     Note that the in numbers listed will likely be different from yours.
  6. For the number beside First Counter, 9960 for me, do a search for that lower in the file.  You should see the text of the WMS counters listed over the next few hundred lines.  For example:
     
     9960=Windows Media Services
     9961=Windows Media Services Server Performance Counters
     9962=Current Player Allocated Bandwidth (Kbps)
     
     Again, the numbering will be different, but you should see a majority of the WMS counters.

  So if this does not check out then there's a problem with the way that the counters are being integrated into Perfmon.  If this does check out then there is something else going on and I would suggest using Process Monitor http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 to log what is occurring when you click the + inside of Performance Monitor.
