Turns out it wasn\u2019t as quick as I had hoped \u2013 so many different scenarios to test! I\u2019d still like to dig into this one a bit more as it can be quirky as noted in the last section. While sometimes odd, I think this information can provide insight into what media a user is viewing on their systems &#8211; not just macOS, but iOS as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The query below will show information related to media that is \u201cNow Playing\u201d, not just on the computer that the logs came from, but also potentially other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/airplay\/\" target=\"_blank\">AirPlay<\/a> connected devices. There will be many entries but we will only focus some in this article.<\/p>\n<pre><code>log show\u00a0--predicate 'category = \"MediaRemote\"'<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Movie time in the Photos.app<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Gather the family and start reminiscing over vacation videos. You might bring up Photos.app and search for various videos that you were going to show all your friends and family (and never actually did, but you just HAD to get that video.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">In the screenshot below, the \u2018MediaRemote\u2019 is what we are filtering on in the query above (highlighted in yellow).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Various pieces of data get recorded in the unified logs. In many entries you should see the bundle id or application name being used \u2013 in this example Photos or com.apple.photos. A good keyword to look for is \u201cclient-\u201c before the bundle id for the app.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">You can also see two sections that contain media metadata that includes:<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Media Duration (in seconds)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Elapsed Time \u2013 We can use this to determine how long it was viewed\/listened to.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Item Identifier (GUID) \u2013 This GUID changes over the period of viewing so not a great filter for a specific file.
