Calculates creator rewards from viewing statistics and configured wallet rules.
Audience: developers, advanced administrators and AI-assisted diagnosis. Plugin catalog.
- Review date: 2026-10-29. Method: static source analysis; runtime/provider behavior was not exercised.
- Code ownership: AVideo Streamer repository.
- Reported version:
3.2. - Source revision:
7d48f2dfc0289236718a3f9fba7c5ffecff4a37f. - Entry class file: MonetizeUsers.php.
Confirm the installed plugin version independently of the Streamer version. Configuration defaults below are not a dump of this installation's saved settings.
Viewing statistics can have financial consequences with this plugin enabled. Check the reward formula and accounting period before treating a view counter as a purely cosmetic value.
No literal dependency declaration was extracted. This does not prove the plugin is standalone.
Literal runtime plugin references: VideosStatistics, YPTWallet. These calls do not mean every referenced plugin is mandatory.

- Check the installed/enabled version and the dependencies/settings above.
- Identify the actual failing page, request, callback or worker and correlate its timestamp with the AVideo log.
- Follow the linked method and caller. Check business-state changes and output artifacts as well as HTTP status.
- Reproduce the relevant workflow in a test environment. External provider, Encoder, live-server, storage, payment and authenticated flows require their real integrations.
Shared diagnostic workflow. This page is not a security audit or a claim of end-to-end validation.
