The first version parsed nothing useful: its regexes expected full date-time stamps, but the player logs only contain time-of-day. + +## Key Decisions +- **Single self-contained HTML file** — open locally in a browser, load log files, no server or install. Fits a Windows host with no dev tooling. +- **Verify the real log format before writing parsers** — logs use `HH:MM:SS.mmm` with no date; the date is taken from the log **filename** (or scanned from content) instead. +- **Group by date *and* hour** — earlier charts aggregated everything into one set of hourly totals, hiding day-to-day patterns. +- **Chart.js** for charts — simple, CDN-loadable, good enough for dashboards. +- **Dedicated print report** with print-friendly styling rather than printing the dashboard as-is. + +## Technical Details +- File: `video_player_log_analyzer.html` (HTML + inline JS/CSS, Chart.js). +- Input: Moonlight player log files; date derived from filename, time from each line. +- Views: statistics dashboard, interactive charts (hourly activity per date), video playback analytics, print-ready activity report. + +## Code Changes +- `video_player_log_analyzer.html` — new; parser, dashboards, charts, print report. +- `README.md` — usage docs. + +## Open Questions / Next Steps +- Parsing is tied to the current log line format — if the player's logging changes, update the regexes first. +- Possible: include NFC client / LEGO Dimensions portal events once those log to the same place. + +## Artifacts +- `3786959` — Initial commit - Video Player Log Analyzer with comprehensive print report feature +- Related repo: https://gitea.hideawaygaming.com.au/jessikitty/moonlight-drive-in
