Played videos statistics (log files?) (1 Viewer)

[urij2000]

Hi,

I would like to collect info/stats on which video file was played when.
I don't mind grabbing the info a-la "grep" from log files.
I see there are lines containing
VideoPlayerlay
in the MediaPortal.log, but it doesn't seem to go back a lot - this file seems to be rotated/deleted too often

1) Is there a better place to look for such info (what file was played when)?
2) If not, is there a way to control the size of the log file, or how often it is rotated/deleted?

thanks

P.S: MP 1.0.2.0, Standalone as video/music player

Hi

Mediaportal creates new log file everytime it is started.

One option is to remove your mediaportal shortcut and create a new shortcut to the batch file mp.cmd to start mediaportal.

Just change the hardcoded logsDir and mpDir and give it a try. It will basically copy the log files to a date directory and append the time to the filename. Then start mediaportal.

rem @echo off
rem ******************************
rem ** configure directories here
rem ******************************
set logsDir=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\log
set mpDir=C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal
rem ******************************
c:
cd %logsDir%

for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/- " %%a in ('date /t') do set XDate=%%a-%%b-%%c

for /f "tokens=1-2 delims=: " %%a in ('time /t') do set XTime=%%a.%%b

echo %XDate% %Xtime%
md "%xdate%"
copy mediaportal.log "%xdate%"\mediaportal_"%xtime%".log 

START "MP" "%mpDir%\mediaportal.exe"
EXIT
