I'd like to implement a counter for viewing time, which the intent to
export this counter somehow for subsequent accumulation in an RRD
database ("how much TV did I watch last week?").Seeing this information in the status XML would be nice, except that it seems to be backend-only, unless it would be considered OK to stuff per-frontend information in there as well. A simple place to do this would be near all the various calls to DisableScreensaver/RestoreScreensaver, but that seems error-prone and fragile to future code changes. A more natural place to do this might be NuppelVideoPlayer::Play/Pause/destructor(?), but isn't Play() also used for non-viewing tasks like commflagging? There are probably other gotchas associated with attempting to do bookkeeping inside of NuppelVideoPlayer. Any other gotchas I should be thinking about? Any suggestions for how/where to export this per-frontend activity information? Maybe have the frontends dump their activity information into the database, and let that get cleaned up by the Housekeeper? --Rob
