Hi Klaus, I noticed there isn't any wird about the loggingmechanism in the plugin.html, so you have to search through the existing code in order to see how to use it. Maybe this should be added. Shure, it's not very important, but because there is a common loggingmechanism, it should receive one or two sentences :) Maybe something like (just an idea): ----- If the plugin should print logmessages you can use dsyslog, isyslog or esyslog.<br> <ul> <li> dsyslog prints the logmessage only if the loglevel of vdr is set to the level DEBUG.</li> <li> isyslog prints the logmessage only if the loglevel of vdr is set to the level INFO.</li> <li> esyslog always prints the logmessage.</li> </ul> The output of this log is the syslog of the system vdr is running on. The logmessage can be formatted like printf.<br> <i>Note:<i><br> The logmessage will be given as provided, the pluginname will not automatically be added, so make shure your logmessages are obvious enough.<br> ----- Greetings Torsten _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
