| Summary | 0007774: DLNA errors should be shown in log form | ||||
| Description | When MediaMonkey encounters errors as server to DLNA clients it should show the errors in log form instead of individual errors. Especially as the user might not be behind the PC many errors can pile up. | ||||

I'm wondering if it would be a nice idea to be able to minimize error logs (also others like CD rip) to the MediaMonkey statusbar from where the user can maximize it again. The status should show the error count so user has a visual confirmation more errors are occurring. It should be considered if all MM errors can be logged to same error window (might be a problem for export to playlist purposes). |

Reminder sent to: Ludek, rusty I don't think that we can do much about it for 4.0, but we could plan some advanced error handling for 4.1. I was thinking about showing an exclamation mark somewhere in MM UI for non-critical errors, which user could click and open detailed description of the errors. I think that it could be just a small addition to the current handling of some non-critical errors, when the dialog is shown with the list of problems. |

So you mean: use the error handling framework from 0000051, but after the error dialog disappears: a) append the error messages to a single error log file b) add a little '!' to the status bar |
|
|
Yes, something like this, with possibly some tweaks in step a) to make it cleaner/easier to use: a) Add to the log file (or rather log database table?): a1) Error message a2) Its timestamp a3) Grouping or the message (e.g. 'Sync to iPhone', 'Conversion of 13 files', ...) so that the log isn't just a linear list of messages, but rather a list of actions and for each action the list of errors that happened. |
|
|
The window could also have tabs or filters to quickly focus on Sync, DLNA, etc errors. Also failure to tag a file and why (inaccessible/corrupted tags, etc) should be logged (http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=60253). |
