My first day using RescueTime, I watched a bunch of work training videos in Windows Media Player. At the end of the day I had maybe 5 min worth of time logged, and I thought the app was broken! Now I understand what was really happening.

This problem is absolutely killing the validity of my stats, since my Mac accurately records movie watching time, the pc doesn't. A simple fix is to allow the user to change the time until logging stops (in general or even better for specific applications). This way, before watching a movie, I can change this parameter to the appropriate length of the movie (or off all together).

same problem here... using VLC ( videolan.org )

for the developers.. you might at least add an event that checks if the application ( media player / vlc / winamp / itunes ) has focus and if it does add it as tracked time running that specific application.
This seems a quick fix since the RescueTime already knows about application focus.

Also adding a "Media Applications" tab to the properties window would help, by giving the user some control over this
ex: " media applications -> add vlc / media player idle time as tracked time"

Hey there-- We're all using Safari 3.1 for Mac and aren't seeing that problem. Are you using a PC? Can you tell me exactly what version of Flash you're using?

Any other details to help reproduce the problem would be appreciated-- thanks!

Dashboard problems under Safari 3.1 on Windows XP

Hi guys!

Thank you for the great app. I love it! However, I've noticed that newly released Safari 3.1 hangs trying display these flash graphics on Rescuetime dashboard.

I don't know is this Safari problem (I'm sure flash object work fine on other sites), but think you should be informed about this issue.

Once again thank you for your work!

All my actions within Safari 3.1 on Windows XP are tracked as "Unknown URL". I guess all Windows Safari users experiencing the same situation.
