Re: [Mlt-devel] As-Played List for Miracle and Access to Bluefish444 Module Section

[Skyler S. <ss...@mi...>]

What would be the best way to do the as-played list?  As of now, I have a PHP script which doubles as a socket server that loads clips onto miracle 5 minutes before every hour.  It wipes the unit before adding those clips.
 
I'm pretty sure I just list the current clips on the unit before wiping them and store those to a file or the database, but I feel there is probably a better and more correct way to do this.  Do you think it would be feasible to extend the Miracle server so that it writes to a file after every clip that is played, or should I use the former approach and assume the clips that are loaded are the as-played clips?  The reason I feel so torn about this is if the server fails, how do I capture the time that was lost since the server was down and at what exact point the server failed?  I can already get the info on when the service which loads the clips starts.
 
Thanks,
--Sky

I think the only way at the moment is to make a client that is
monitoring the status and records it. Is that acceptable?
