Debugging Tools

SmartPlayer platform provides many tools for debugging when an abnormality occurs.

== Receiving log from device (logs) == Each client application writes an event log to its internal memory of the device, if necessary, it can be obtained and sent for analysis to SmartPLayer technical support, in order to get the most useful logs, do the following:

1. In the device settings (Select device -> In the right toolbar Settings), when it is online (green), enable the Debug or Trace logging mode. This will configure the device so that it writes more detailed messages about its work.
2. Try to reproduce the abnormal situation on the device
3. Go to the device card (Select device -> In the right toolbar Information) and download the archive with the log.

There are two parameters:

• current - the archive with the event log for the current day will be unloaded, as a result of its smaller size. If the network is unstable, the best choice.
• full - the archive with the event log for several days will be unloaded. It can transmit a large amount of data, the network should be more stable.

Getting full device information

Each client application contains full device information, to get it, do the following:

1. Log in to your account with your credentials
2. Go to the "Devices" menu tab
3. Select a device (by clicking on it or in the list), without checking the box
4. The device menu will open on the right, select the Information menu item
5. In the open device card, click on the "copy to clipboard" icon (in the upper right corner)

The data is copied to the clipboard for further pasting into the required document.

Depending on the operating system of the client application, it will either be rebooted or restarted.

After the download starts, depending on the size of the broadcast, we wait for it to download to the working computer. Then you need to transfer the archive without modification when you open a request on the technical support portal.

== Cleaning the device == Cleaning the device, allows you to delete all application data recorded using the SmartPlayer software, these actions reset the application cache. Re-registering the device is not required. Go to the device card (Select device -> Information in the right toolbar) and click the "clear" icon, you will be offered two options:

• Delete all files on the device - this option to delete media files downloaded for offline playback of content. The next time you launch the application, if the current broadcast is not cached on the device, the files will be downloaded again.
• Clear local storage - this option will delete the metadata required for offline playback. The next time you launch the application, if there is not enough metadata for the current broadcast, it will be received from the SmartPlayer server.
