Debug information?

[mattsfrey]

Hi,

Is there anyway to get debug information for what's happening with the player behind the scenes?. I am using the renderer with wcjs-prebuilt and pointing it at a HLS playlist but it just fails to play. There's no information available and requests don't even show up in chrome dev tools for some reason.

Is there anyway to gain some insight into what the player is failing on with this playlist?

if you are on Windows you could use https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/debugview.aspx to see libvlc log

another way is to use onLogMessage added by RSATom/WebChimera.js@76cfed4 (unfortunately we forgot add it to wiki)

Thanks for the replies. I have tried passing in the ["-vvv"] for vlc options to the renderer and this provides some logging from VLC, loading modules, etc, but I will try hooking onLogMessage and see if anything additional shows up.

Throwing in a

player.onLogMessage = function(level, message, format) { console.log(level, message); }

Did wonders, got a lot of info now to work with. Thanks for the speedy replies!
