I am trying to DEBUG the values that are parsed with in my channel and I was able to use Log function to output the variable values to the channel log file. But if I use the same Log function with ServiceCode.pys file I am getting error.   
  
  
  
I tried this in VEVO channel. I am trying to find the index and bitrate values passed to the function PlayVideo to find what is the default index and bitrate of a video is picking while playing the channel using ROKU. Is there any alternative to log this info into the log file of vevo ?  
  
  
  
The reason I am trying to find this is when I play VEVO channel the video always picks with low quality. Checking what is the bitrate the video is playing when it is accessed through roku.   
  
  
  
Please advice.   
  
  
  
thanks  
  
Ram

I figured out the issue turns like because of indentation. After removing the indentation (TABBING) I am able to log the info into log file.
