Logs API

[Xmantium]

Hi zip, I think to view logs via console or third party app would be cool.
Easy for newbies to access the logs.

There's a cool mod using the webui here - viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5330&start=280
I find this extremely useful as I'm on a headless Linux server and now can view my logs on my iPad

I'm sure other users will too
I'll make a ticket if you think is worth considering

I'd second this. I think there would also be merit in the user being able to change the log type (Default, Debug, - any others?) in the same part of the console.

Like PS3 or UMS, DLNA server software.

UMS can do it as they always run on the same PC. It'd be super slow to transfer this kind of data (ie detailed log) over HTTP

True, hadn't thought about that. What if, instead of a live view of the log, there was a "Retrieve" button to download a snapshot of the log. It would still be a slow retrieval but being user initiated I don't think would be a problem. What I am thinking is on the "Console Settings" tab (?) having a set of Radio Buttons to select the log type (with warning about re-starting service and size of log file produced), and a single "Retrieve Log" button. This would still help those new users who have a hard time finding the log file, and/or setting debug mode.
