# ps4-time-tracking
This program helps you keep track of your PS4 gaming habits. It will create an [iCalendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar) file which contains timespans from the time you were playing.
## Prerequisites
Install the Python requirements with `pip install -r requirements.txt`.
If you want to use the Telegram Bot you need to install [this Bot Framework](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot) first.
## Usage
Run `ps4watch.sh` in very short frequency to track what game your PS4 is
running at the time. After an amount of time the log file will fill with dates:

You can generate calendar entries in ics format by running `parseTimeSpans.py ps4watch.log calendar.ics`.
Run `ps4ical.sh` to calculate time-spans and to generate an `ics` file out of it. Adapt it to your needs. Currently it contains a statement for FTP uploading to my server.
`makeScore.sh` is also a utilty custom made for my needs, which will generate a top 10 list of my top games and will notify me whenever a different game enters or moves up the top 10.
If you're subscribing to this calendar, you will get a nice output:
Additionally a file called `statistics.csv` is generated which summarizes
all minutes that you played one particular game.
## Example crontab
The following crontab setting will run `ps4watch.sh` every 5 minutes between 10pm till 2am and every half hour between 3 am and 9 pm.
``` crontab
*/5 10-23 * * * ps4watch.sh
*/5 0-2 * * * ps4watch.sh
*/30 3-9 * * * ps4watch.sh
```
## Firewall exception
After receiving the request from your client, the PS4 answers on a random UDP port in the range of 30000-65000. You will have to make a firewall exception for these ports. In my case this was:
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=FedoraServer --add-port=30000-65000/udp
## Bot Usage
Create new Telegram Bot via Telegrams own BotFather and insert your newly created Api Token in PS4-Time-Bot.py.
In addition to your Api Token you need to specify the path to your ps4watch.log file.
Thats it, now you can start PS4-Time-Bot.py with python3 and use your Telegram Bot.
