How to get edl information for videos in a web client?

[mvallevand]

I'm confused by what you are asking that json activity is returned in near-real time when when you hit enter on a video

For logging it would be especially nice if we get our own webclient.log instead of npvr.log like you do for the MVP.log

Ok. They attached should send this logging to a new webclient.log file.

Thanks,
I now get a webclient.log, great!

How do I use it?
I may not have been clear in my wish but what I meant to ask for was a http-logging-method (GET or maybe POST) to use from the web client to be able to pass debug information that ends up in log file on the server where users can easily find it.
Maybe something like this: /service?method=log?level=debug?message=some%20url%20encoded%20message

I'm confused too. :confused:

My only concern was that this edl-url property would be empty when I start playing but there will be edl-data in a while and I wouldn't know that and have no url to access it.
This scenario will only apply to in-progress recordings, for videos this won't be a problem.

Nevermind, I believe in sub to come up with a good solution.

I get in now you want dynamic edl loading after the user starts watching a show, XBMC doesn't do that and I didn't know NextPVR did either it's not something I tested on the MVP/NMT.

Thanks for webclient.log sub.

@fred250 as a hack until the next version just tack a parameter on when you need one.

Sorry - I should have been more clear. There is several different requests in this post. That patch only addressed changing the web client logging to webclient.log.

Earlier I had also added a "method=system.log&type=error&msge=asdasdasdasdasd" mechanism. I've attached that. I should point out that goes to web.log though, not this new webclient.log, because where all these "/service?method=" calls are processed. If you want something similar, but pushed all the way through to webclient.log, it'll probably need to be with the next releases, since it'll need a change to an interface between components.

Thanks I will check it out.
I'm fine with logging to web.log.

I don't know if NextPVR does but your NMT client does and I still use the NMT when chasing an in-progress recording (especially if it is a long show, since skipping in in-progress recordings is risky business on any of my Smart TVs).

Yep, I've occasionally used it for personal tracing, but it's nothing you want in production.

I just dropped an edl file on a playing recording and I didn't see it register in NextPVR and didn't see any comskip show up on the timeline. I know mvpmcx2 is completely driven by NextPVR. The big difference in NextPVR on in-progress vs completed recordings is the accurate seeking with Timing.Info.
