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:
- 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.
- Try to reproduce the abnormal situation on the device
- 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:
- Log in to your account with your credentials
- Go to the "Devices" menu tab
- Select a device (by clicking on it or in the list), without checking the box
- The device menu will open on the right, select the Information menu item
- 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.
Download broadcast
To analyze the broadcast playback, you can download it from your personal account and send it to SmartPlayer for analysis. To do this, do the following:
- Log in to your personal account
- Go to the "Broadcasts" menu item
- Select the desired broadcast
- In the right toolbar, click the icon - "Download"
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.
Depending on the client application's operating system, it will either reboot or restart.
Download the log of the Android OS device in offline mode
If the device does not connect to the server, first check the device's access to the server. To do this, simply open the built-in browser on the Android OS device and enter the server address. If the connection goes to https://cms.smartplayer.org, then enter https://api.smartplayer.org as a result, the message Cannot GET / should appear, this means that the device "sees" the server.
Local Console Display
Sometimes it is not clear what is happening with the device and there is no way to get logs through your personal account, then you need to launch the local debug console to receive messages about the problem.
For Android OS
For the local console of the device from the remote control, you need to unlock the device (if the remote control is locked) and press the "Blue" button on the remote control, then you need to take a picture in good resolution (to read the lines) and send the photo to support@smartplayer.org .
The interface can be hidden without waiting for the timer by pressing "Blue" on the remote
