VOD Error Logs

Introduction

Vantage middleware can generate critical error logs on behalf of the VOD server when browsing catalogs or playing VOD 
assets. This section lists these error logs by category, explains why they may occur, identifies their potential impact, and 
provides other details needed help resolve any related issues.

Occasionally, successful scenarios can generate error logs because critical logs are set to Error status level by default. 
For this reason, the following descriptions include both success and failure cases.

VODCAT Initialization

The following mentioned logs serve as example for a successful VOD initialization and possible failures.      

Success Cases

DLOG|SPM_VODCTLG|ERROR|[vod_Init][1070] Initialize VOD Rental Asset Sync utility

Successfully initialized the Rental asset sync utility responsible for syncing the purchased asset details across all the IP 
Clients connected to a Gateway within a Home Network.

DLOG|SPM_VODCTLG|ERROR|[vod.cpp][vod_Init][1090]: Successfully created configWatchThread

Successfully created a thread that monitors the /rtn/config.ini file for any changes. Apart from other things, this file 
contains configurations for the vod module with respect root level catalogue uids, corresponding samids and vod types.

DLOG|SPM_VODCTLG|ERROR|[vod.cpp][configWatchThread][820] Vod Application is Authorized... Starting 
the VODCAT SUBSYSTEM...

The “_VOD” package is authorized for this set-top. This could be either during bootup or at a later point. The vod module 
goes ahead after this to initialize the VodCatManager based on the srmManufacturerId.

DLOG|SPM_VODCTLG|ERROR|[vod.cpp][vod_system_init][1057] vod_system_init() successful

As part of this, the /rtn/config.ini file is parsed and the vod module would initialize the VodCatManager based on the 
srmManufacturerId. Also the cmod library is initialized successfully as well.
