Debug logs time format

[birdman]

Date without year is a problem as it is not clear if it is mm/dd or dd/mm.

??? Print the month as its short text form (as your original example did). strftime() lets you do anything you want from a template.

Couple of build errors:

Binary attached.

Output looks like this:

Now we need to try make it configurable from UI.

MIPs one works great. Output with an export ENIGMA_DEBUG_TIME=2 is good:

15:07:31.634 [eInit] - (41) eServiceFactoryDVD
15:07:31.634 [eInit] - (41) eServiceFactoryWebTS
15:07:31.635 [eInit] - (41) eServiceFactoryTS
15:07:31.635 [eInit] - (41) eServiceFactoryHDMI
15:07:31.635 [eInit] - (41) eServiceFactoryM2TS
15:07:31.635 [eInit] - (41) eServiceFactoryMP3
15:07:31.636 [eInit] - (41) eServiceFactoryFS

I am appreciating all the work here everyone. I am really grateful this is going to happen. :-) :-) :-)

This adds configurable option from the user interface...

Would there be negative effects of making default = local time + boot?

[Huevos]

Abu, do whatever you think is good. I just set the default to the current format. In the end there is no default anyway because debug log is disabled by default. So this will only apply when enabling debug logs and saving that screen.

Any chance of making this the default, most crash logs are being posted without this setting, but this format is so much easier to read.

Please submit a pull request.

Please submit a pull request.

I haven't a clue how to do that. I know you've given details, but ......

No. The added text on the left make logs harder to read due to the need to sideways scroll.

Crikey, never expected that as a reason, still, I don't need to waste my time learning how to submit a pull request.

Please explain what help you think it is to debugging having clock output at the start of every line.

[ccs]

I live in "real time", not "number time", so I can see in the logs when something happened without any guesswork.
You're able to see if the log corresponds to what a poster is saying without the need to find time updates. Even then it isn't easy.
If someone says a timer didn't start at 19:00 or a cronjob doesn't work, you can get there straight away.
Same with autotimer, you can see when it ran.
Keypresses can be difficult to pinpoint, but in real time you can tie them in with other activity.
Regular error messages might as well be random error messages without the clock.

I use notepad++ to view logs, I reckon 90% of lines don't need scrolling, and probably 99% of those lines that do only need scrolling if there is something significant to view.
But it sounds like I'm the only one who finds them useful, and 99% of the rest of us probably don't even know you can switch the clock on.

I spend a lot of the time debug‘ing especially at the moment and the ability to run without any time stamp is a real positive, means I can run side by side comparisons... so by default my setting is option 0.
