Player Reports

Additional information can also be found under the viewneo Reports section.

What are viewneo Reports?

viewneo Reports are designed to help you get an overview of the history of how each player or device is operating. It helps to answer questions, such as:

Which player played what and when?
What content was played where, how often and when?
Which content could not be played because there were problems?
Which players could not play everything because of a problem?

How does viewneo Reports work?

If the "Report" function is active, then each player sends

after each playback of a content and
after each synchronization of the contents of the player

to the viewneo cloud data with information, such as the:

current time,
whether content has been rendered correctly,
what content was played,
what data has been updated (for example, syncing or downloading new content on the player),
which files could not be downloaded,

just to name a few of the more important ones.

Activate or Deactivate Reports

It is possible to enable or disable reporting for both individual devices, as well as for an entire device group.

How can you view Reports?

There are several ways to view the data in viewneo. Such as information about the devices, playlists, as well as the individual content.

View Device Reports

Each player can be individually selected through the Device Management settings. Clicking on the respective device with the right mouse button will open a drop-down menu, where you will be able to select the entry "Reports".

This will open a window that will show the current playing history of the selected player:

Start Time – The time the player performed an action, such as playing content or synchronizing in the background.

Details – The name of the content that was played or the name of the action that was performed.

System	Indicates that this is an invisible event running in the background. It can also be important information or warnings about the system.	System

If the event is a "playout" of content, then by clicking on the name of the content that was broadcast, you can get more information about that content.
