Also, I'm surprised there isn't a basic, high level log kept that can
be viewed in the web UI. Something that would log only "major" server
events: SlimServer startups (showing version number) and shutdowns,
library scans, firmware updates, would be very useful. Maybe also log
configuration errors or warnings, like "SQLite database not found -
rebuilding". Most casual users have no need or desire to do the
detailed logging available through the SlimServer debugging
facilities.
Anyone agree/disagree?
d_server is fairly brief, covers startup steps
d_import isn't too bad. shows start and stop of each scanner, and
shows the cache wipes if applicable.
http://serverIP:9000/log.txt is a web page of the log, and that is
linked from the debugging page.
Most users tend to not even need that, so there hasn't been much need
to get into anything else, given the large pile of stuff keeping
everyone pretty busy.
scanning progresss: the "your library contains..." message use to be
displayed all the time at the top. Later on, it was replaced by the
'still scanning..." message. It was too early on in my participation
so I don't know the exact reasons. I think at the time, the count was
going up and beyond reasonable points, then dropping to something not
always close to the real number. This confused people. The counts are
more absolute now. Back then, it was an incrementing counter with
various corrections along the way.
If that was the only reason for the new message to cover it up, I
suppose an argument could be made for bringing that back. In fact, I
think it may even be there already, just that none of the skins use it
if the scan warning exists. I may be wrong on that.
