I was asking if a particular setting existed. But no, I don't do debug logs because I don't know how to do them and I don't know what's in them.I'm sorry... It does seem a little strange to me, when someone who signed up on this forum on some 5.5 years ago and posted almost 400 messages on the Kodi forum, is totally unaware of something which is referred to so many times as a kodi.log or a debug log (wiki) file. It must have come across the threads you posted in at some point in all that time. You know, the stupid questions are those not asked. So, simply ask what the debug log (wiki) is for.
Quote:1 Important NotesSo you want me to post the log publicly where anyone in the world could read it. And that's bad enough, but then it says:
Do NOT post your logs directly in a forum. Always use a paste site like https://pastebin.com or https://paste.ubuntu.com . Post the link to your pasted log in the forum. Details are in the following pages.
Quote:Provide FULL Logs only. No Partial logs or snippets. The only redactions should be personal information.So basically you want people to create what will undoubtedly be a very long log file, then go through it line by line to try to find any sensitive information that should be redacted (and I have a hunch my idea of what constitutes personal information and yours might be rather different), and then post it on the wide open Internet. Maybe you don't have a problem with doing that, but I do. I especially do when I was just asking a question, and not even trying to report a bug.
Seriously, if you guys want to receive debug logs, you should make sure that Kodi isn't including personal information in the first place, but mainly you need to find a way to let people send them to just the Kodi developers without making them readable to just anyone and everyone who happens along.
If it's too hard for you to copy .kodi out of the way, start a clean copy and just open the file in question and post the Debug Log - then nobody can help you.
Again: your complete wall of text cost more time than just doing:
mv .kodi kodi-bak
kodi
enable debug
play video
quit kodi
post logfile
mv kodi-bak .kodi
