MOS-Files format/source

[antonschubert]

Hi there!

I tried to use mosromgr via CLI with Mosart MOS logfiles from OpenMedia. I used the logfiles that the OMIS-plugin writes continously to the OpenMedia Server (xxx.log file with all the MOS-communication of the interface), but mosromgr says, they are invalid.
Which MOS-files are supposed to work with mosromgr and how do you receive them from OpenMedia at the BBC?

Thanks and regards from Berlin!

Hi! Thanks for giving the library a try.

mosromgr consumes MOS XML message files emitted between NCS applications and machines, e.g. roCreate: https://mosprotocol.com/wp-content/MOS-Protocol-Documents/MOS_Protocol_Version_2.8.5_Final.htm

There are slim sample files in our tests e.g. https://github.com/bbc/mosromgr/blob/main/tests/mock_mos/roCreate.mos.xml

@bevand10 knows much more about this stuff than me, perhaps he can help figure out how you would access these files

Hi, thank you for the quick answer!
When I cut out one roCreate-Part from my MOS logfile into a single xml-file, it seems to be inspectable. How do you extract the roCreate or other relevant parts from the OM System or the MOS logfile? The logfile I used is the OMIS plugin logfile from the MOS OMIS-Service between OM and Mosart studio automation. This way I might get the real-time trigger time from Mosart, which could be used for some workflows (like your iPlayer auto-segmentation).
