addStreamAlias localStreamName is invalid

Hi I emailed this but got an auto reply which instructed me to post here: Question 1: I was initially having problems with underscores and hyphens in stream names although for now I have resolved this by removing hyphens and underscores from the local and alias names. But could you clarify the situation on non alphanumeric characters in stream names? Question 2: My problem now is now that I am alway getting a "localStreamName is invalid" json respnse. I can see that the inbound stream is OK Screen shot: http://prntscr.com/4fhmk3 Once I receive the data from the "inStreamCreated" event with the data (which is correct) I make the api request as follow: http://localhost:7777/addStreamAlias?lo … 372042f5a5 Here is the json response: {"data":null,"description":"Syntax error. Parameter localStreamName is invalid", "status":"FAIL"} Here is the EMS console error: ……sourcesapplicationsevoroutersrcprotocolsclicliappprotocolhandler. cpp:606 command: addstreamalias ……sourcesapplicationsevoroutersrcprotocolsclicliappprotocolhandler. cpp:2528 Syntax error. Parameter localStreamName is invalid What is causing this error? I am running on Windows 7 / EMS evostreamms-1.6.5.2959-x86_64-Windows_7 Thanks
