can’t see any traffic if Protocol Filter is set to “Multimedia URLs”

Hi,

I tried to find out the video URL of https://media.uaf.edu/media/t/1_8hqu0z93 in advanced mode but can’t see any traffic if Protocol Filter is set to “Multimedia URLs”. What’s the problem?

Shades:
There is the distinct possibility that the site you link to uses a streaming technology not recognized as a 'MultiMedia URL' by the software you use. At least, that would be my first guess.

Protocols have a way of coming up and dying down. Because trying to improve an already existing protocol is more often than not a lot harder than making something new. That and the technical debt that comes with already existing software of any kind, sure makes it an easy decision to make something anew.
