Hi,

How can I have vlc produce some kind og log file? (I have a webcam that sometimes stop working and would like to see if vlc says why)

I have tried this, but no log file (or can't find it):

Code: Select all

C:\Programmer\VideoLAN\vlc\vlc.exe ^
  -v ^
  --extraintf logger --logfile vlc-vlm.log --logmode text ^
  --extraintf http ^
    --http-host 0.0.0.0:80 ^
    --http-src %MSET_VAR%\wwwroot ^
  --vlm-conf %MSET_PRIVATE_BIN%\vlc-vlm.conf

Did you try

--file-logging, --no-file-logging
Log to file (default disabled)
Log all VLC messages to a text file. (default disabled)

?

Shouldn't the need to use --extraintf logger be documented in vlc-help.txt?

File logging was broken at some point, so it might be that it isn't fixed yet.

am I using the correct options, that is, should I get a log file with the options I use?

file-logging and logfile are both valid options according to documentation, so there must be somekind of bug.
