[QUOTE="Ministerk, post: 1170243, member: 61145"] Some quick answers (a lot of trail and error has be put into this...) The easy part first... Log: Use MessageHandler from BrowserUtilConnector class to log but you also have to configure the browser player to write to log. Do this by changing [B]OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost.exe.config[/B] file (found in [MP-INSTALL-PATH]l\plugins\Windows\OnlineVideos) Change the [B]WriteDebugLog[/B] value to [B]true. [/B]This will change every time you compile the Mediaportal1 project (or OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost). So edit the App.config in OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost instead and rebuild. You can debug the connector by attaching to the OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost.exe Process. But you have to be fast... Or delaying the process by [code] //in BrowserDocumentComplete Thread.Sleep(5000); //Or maybe some thread blocking js: InvokeScript("alert('debug please...');"); [/code] Place your breakpoint after the thread delay. This is a good question... I don't use this fully with the different statuses and returns. I always use [code]ProcessComplete.Finished = true; ProcessComplete.Success = true; return EventResult.Complete();[/code] when a "phase" in the automation is done; There're two phases in the automation Login phase and the "trying to play the video" phase First you start the login phase in the [B]PerformLogin[/B] method, you're in this phase until you do the above ProcessComplete.Finished and so on... Then the Second phase starts in the [B]PlayVideo[/B] method. The [B]BrowserDocumentComplete[/B] is called on every "document ready" event (when the page redirected to or browsed to by setting a new value to the [B]Url[/B] property is ready/completely loded). The most tricky part is to automate stuff when the site uses a lot of ajax and everything is async. When is the login process finished? How can I know where I'm in the automation process? I have made some [B]important methods and properties bold. [/B] Other methods: Pause() - What to do OnPause... Play() - What to do OnPlay (play button pressed while the video already is playing) OnAction - other keyboard or remote events. What you are trying to achieve is some kind of deterministic automation... To do this I try to do some kind of simple state machine and to do this I often define an "state enum" to keep track on where I am and what "transition" to do next. Back to [code]ProcessComplete.Finished = true; ProcessComplete.Success = true; return EventResult.Complete();[/code] If ProcessComplete.Success = false; this could signal that something went wrong (e.g. the login) and the browser could exit with an error. [USER=139416]@Jason Pyke[/USER] could maybe describe how this should/could be used... [B][COLOR=#ff4d4d] I did NOT proof read this [/COLOR][/B] Edit: I wrote this related post yesterday: [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/posts/1170065/']Swedish sites: SVT, TV4 Premium, UR, TV3, TV6, TV8, TV10, Kanal 5, 9 and 11 + Movie & Series sites[/URL] EDIT AGAIN: And set a longer timeout in OnlineVideos.WebAutomation.BrowserHost.exe.config or App.config when debugging.
