debugging for Comcast

sign in & Comcast app launcher

We are assuming that you already have a Comcast developer account and your device paired.

Sign into your developer account at https://ibis.comcast.com/login.

Once you are signed into your Comcast developer account open the hamburger menu and click “Develop and test apps” then “Select a device to get started”.

Select the device you want to use to debug, enter the build URL into the URL field, and select the correct App Id from the App Id menu.

Now, we can debug the app in 2 different ways: the built in Comcast Log Inspector or via Chrome Debugger.

Comcast log inspector

Click the “Menu” button and select “Open Logs in separate window“. Another page should open and you should see logs populate after you launch the application you are debugging.

chrome debugger

On the IBIS dashboard, open the hamburger menu and select “Manage Devices”.

Click on the blue eye icon that you will see in the row of your Comcast device.

Scroll down and copy the value you see beside “estbIp”.

Open a new tab and enter http://[‘estbIp’]:9224 (with ‘estbIp’ being the value you copied before).

Beside the https://ctv-webapp link that you see under the list of Inspectable Pages click on the Inspect button.

Click on Network in the menu now to get the network traffic then right click on any call and then either “Save file” (which will save into a text file) or “Export HAR” to save the log.
