How to retrieve Media4Display diagnostic logs using MediaContact on Android

The easiest way to retrieve Media4Display diagnostic logs on Android is simply to create a process in MediaContact.

In a custom process folder, create a new process.

Process trigger initiative: Server
Population: create and select the population you want to retrieve the data from
Connection: use a server initiated connection

Now you need to create two tasks according to this structure

The first step (MOV PLAYER TXT) is a File management > Station task.
The task detail:
Operation: Files | Move
☑ Execution during communication
  1. Source Folder: /sdcard/Media4Display/Tmp/
  2. Source File: M4DPlayer.txt
  3. Destination Folder: /sdcard/Media4Display/Tmp/ARCHIVE/
  4. Destination File: M4DPlayer.txt


The second step (GET M4DLOG) is a Specific Transfer task
The task detail is:
Operation: Files | Copy
  1. Source: Station
    1. Folder: /sdcard/Media4Display/Tmp/ARCHIVE/
    2. File: *
  2. Destination: Server
    1. Folder: D:\M4DLOG\%USER%



Please replace the Server side folder with a folder on your server where you want to receive the log files. the %USER% make it possible for MediaContact to create a folder for each player/station.
