The VideoLAN Forums

I would like to enable logging, but it does not work. I used the command line

vlc -I http –fullscreen --file-logging --logfile=vlc.log --log-verbose=2

but no log file was generated. I tried relative and absolute file paths, but this had no effect. Then I tried to enable logging using the GUI: Tools>Preferences>All>Advanced>Logging. However, still no effect.

My configuration is: Vlc 1.1.7, Windows XP or Windows Vista (tried both)

Logging is important for me, because I have a Java App scheduling videos in 7x24 mode using the http interface of vlc. Once or twice a week the screen of the TV turns black while playing a vidoe but the audio is still playing (feedback from end users, I have no direct access to the system). So far I couldn’t reproduce this in my development and test environment. Before starting a thread on this topic, I would like to find out, when and under which conditions this happens. Logging would be quite helpfull for this.

Thanks for any help!

--extrainf logger --fulscreen

Thank you very much! This worked perfect. Finally I used

vlc -I http --extraintf logger --log-verbose=2 --verbose-objects=+all -vvv --fullscreen

to get as much information as possible.

Thx, those spelling fixes and extra args resolves this for me.
