Usage history

Hi!
I have a couple of BluRay players. One new (BD-F6500) and one older (a "D" model). I am wondering if/where the players are storing any information about usage (like which discs have been played and so on)? I have been poking around in the file system on the players and can see that there are a number of SquashFS, RFS and FAT partitions with a lot of files, but so far I have not located any info of this kind. I guess that if present it must be located in one of the RFS or FAT partitions (since SquashFS is read only)?

Thanks in advance and best regards
Jon

usually history on TV is stored in some sqlite database files. But i don`t know where (if at all) is BD disk history stored. I doubt about such kind of database.
Maybe you`re talking about preview pictures stored in /mtd_contents

Hello!

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, I have been looking for SQLite databases, but I have so far not located anything useful. I guess that some kind of info must be stored as many players will remember if you have been watching a certain disk before, but I have not been able to locate it (maybe it has been obfuscated in some way by the Java (BD-J) layer)?

I have seen the mtd_contents folder, but it seems to be empty. It is located in one of the SquashFS partitions, which I belive is read-only?
