Hi Fredrik

printfs included in addons are displayed in the main executable console. So
if you want to see yours when writing media addons, you should quit
media_server team (ie with ProcessController) then start
/system/servers/media_server in a terminal.
When the main executable is started by another app, printfs are displayed in
the "parent" app console (see Expander which launch zip tool for example)

Bye,
Jérôme

(defined as printf) like I've seen other do in their code to see what
happens. The problem is that I can't find how to see the output. It's
getting inconvenient to write it to a file.
