PlaylistLog1.txt and PlaylistLog2.txt will be kept in PLAYLISTS\LOGS
directory, if the INI file has the correct entries. They log the time and date of

When commands are launched, the time stamp and the command are listed
When commands have a lifetime , like a video can last 2 minutes, but not an
image, which is instant, they also register a completion stamp. When commands
are completed, a ’C’ is placed after the time stamp and the command is listed.

days (4 weeks), so customers can wait up to 4 weeks before having to upload
their files.
See the INI File – is.ini section to turn this on.
