Enable PVLOGGER

[sreedhar b]

Hi,

 

I followed the instructions provided by Freepine as indicated in the below thread:

 

http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting/browse_thread/thread/e6391e4fc025bf60?hl=en

 

1. cd <android_root>
2. touch external/opencore/oscl/oscl/osclbase/src/pvlogger.h

//the pvlogger.h is already present inside my package at the above path

3. make ENABLE_PV_LOGGING=1

 

After flashing the rebuilt images onto my device, i ran the video player.

Used logcat & to capture logs, but still i am not getting the PVLOGGER_LOGMSG prints.

 

Please let me know if iam missing anything here or suggest me if there are any other methods to do so.

 

 

Regards,

Sreedhar

Hi, you missed the last step:)

After compiling the source code with ENABLE_PV_LOGGING=1, you still need to configure which level&nodes to be captured at runtime in /sdcard/pvlogger.txt. 

Using adb shell to create a file /sdcard/pvlogger.txt and writing "8" into it will enable all pv logs.

#echo 8 >/sdcard/pvlogger.txt

Hi Freepine,

 

Thanks. I am getting the logs now.

 

You have referred some configuration pertaining to level&nodes.

 

Is this 8 corresponds to level as defined below :

 

// part of Pvlogger.h

 

/**
 * debug-level messages
 */
const PVLogger::log_level_type PVLOGMSG_DEBUG   = 8;

 

And what about the nodes?

Yes, 8 is the lowest log level, and you can also specify a string in pvlogger.txt to filter only messages from the corresponding logger object.

e.g: write below lines into pvlogger.txt will capture logs from PVPlayerEngine and PVMFOMXAudioDecNode only.

#echo "8,PVPlayerEngine" >/sdcard/pvlogger.txt

#echo "8,PVMFOMXAudioDecNode" >>/sdcard/pvlogger.txt
