A-SMIL player reports status of file objects in the player's cache. Both media files that have completed downloading and is in the process of being downloaded are reported. The report is sent back to designated server every 5 minutes.

== Designating a URL to the Inventory Handler ==

In your SMIL script, you need to add a section to your <tt>head</tt> section to define where the media player should PUT or POST the inventory file. A typical definition looks like this.

<source lang="smil">
<head>
<metadata>
<x-server xmlns="http://schemas.adfotain.org/adapi-1.0">
<subscriptionList>
<subscription>
<type>InventoryReport</type>
<action>http://server/inventory_cgi</action>
<method>put</method>
</subscription>
</subscriptionList>
</x-server>
</metadata>
</head>
</source>

Here "http://server/inventory_cgi" is the path to your server-side script (PHP, etc.) on your log server.

== Log File Format ==

A log file uploaded to the server looks like this.

<source lang="xml">
<report xmlns="http://schemas.adfotain.org/adapi-1.0">
<date>{createDate}</date>
<version>1.0</version>
<player id="{playerId}">
<contentDirectory>
<objectInfo>
<object id="{uuid}" persistent="true|false">
<resourceURI></resourceURI>
<state></state>
<contentType></contentType>
<contentLength></contentLength>
<lastModified></lastModified>
<expires></Expires>
<transferLength></transferLength>
</object>

</objectInfo>
</contentDirectory>
</player>
</report>
</source>

 Here "http://server/filename" is the path of the file that will contain the report. Typically it is provide as the name of a server-side CGI script (PHP, etc.) which will receive the content of the file via HTTP PUT method.
