SECTION 3 - DEBUG LOG

Refer to the wiki Log_file (wiki)

How to generate a Debug Log

IMPORTANT! The normal Kodi log is not a debug log, to enable debug logging you must toggle it on under Kodi Settings - System.

Easy instructions

Advanced instructions

Where is my Debug Log?

Remember to enable debug logging before report!
Log file located at Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\kodi.log

Note [user] is the username used to log into Windows

If you start Kodi in "portable" mode (with the -p commandline argument) then the log will be in the Kodi folder itself in the portable_data folder

Paste sites for usage with posting your debug logs:

1. https://paste.kodi.tv/ - Preferred site as it parses the log and adds formating to make it easier to spot ERRORS
2. http://www.pastebin.com
3. http://www.pastebin.ca
4. http://www.rafb.net/paste
5. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com

IMPORTANT - NEVER POST THE CONTENTS OF THE DEBUG LOG DIRECTLY INTO A FORUM POSTS, AND DO NOT USE DROPBOX, GOOGLE DRIVE ETC THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE DOWNLOADING OF THE FILE (WHILE YOU MAYBE TRUSTWORTHY IT'S AN UNFORTUNATE SIGN OF THE TIMES THAT WE MUST BE CAUTIOUS AT ALL TIMES)

ALWAYS USE A PASTEBIN SITE SUCH AS THOSE GIVEN ABOVE
