[Usability] WatchDog improvements (2 Viewers)

[azzuro]

hello @regeszter :
no more Clean logs menu item ?

 

[regeszter]

I removed if (not copied from original branch) because we start new log on each MP/TV Server restart and we delete the old logs, so we do not need to clean the log folder in the feature.

hi,

why, i have added clear log as action ? :
because i use Watchdog for testing, and for me, it's better to clear logs (entirely), and post an cleaned testing logs, for test beta stuff.
and i prefer use export currently logs option on watchdog.
one of the wanted feature for me, was for take all the logs folder, ( include dumps stream, ... )
but otherwise, thank you for make my wish accomplished

Done. Check the last commit. You will be able to delete the windows event logs and the tv server logs on remote too.

Can you build an installer for testing (on local or with the team git-bot)?

Sure, i can if you want ( but on Bot, i'm at work ... )

Question :
How we can modify manualy the TVserver remote address ?
Why, this question :
i'm agree for 95% of user, auto detection of TVserver is fine, and no need more.
but for us tester, we can have more than one server on Lan for testing (the official one, and maybe an small on laptop for test everything )
This host is stored in watchdog XML setting and can be edited ?

i'm sorry to ask this, but i can't test myself ... and ask you many thing, but i want the better test tool.

The TV server host name is in the Mediaportal.xml.

 

[azzuro]

The TV server host name is in the Mediaportal.xml.

so, we must edit this file or run config.exe
ok, i don't find anything else related to this work. edit MediaPortal.xml seems good, du to for testing TV, we must have MePo started ...

i test your last binary,
Watchdog should be started with admin right for use Clear Event logs, none notification for say, "you must start Watchdog with Admin right"
export all logs seems work fine.

Can you try with this?
