How to Disable/Enable Debug Logging in Krypton

Debug Logging in Kodi Krypton

What is the debug log?

A debug log can record database operations, system processes, and errors that occur when executing a transaction or running unit tests. Debug logs can contain information about: Database changes. HTTP callouts. Apex errors.

“Sometimes you might be asked to enable additional debug logging“components”, which is an option in this same Settings/System/Debugging area. If you were not asked to enable anything extra, then don’t worry about those additional settings. Restart Kodi: so that the log file records important startup information.” (excerpt from kodi wiki) Kodi-Wiki Log file.

Disabling Debug Logging

Occasionally a new user will start Kodi for the first time after purchasing a “loaded” Android Box and encounter some very odd looking numbers at the top of their screen ! “Is my Kodi Broken?”. No this is not a scene from “Mission Impossible”, your Kodi isn’t about to explode.

Here’s another Blog that is designed to help New Users as they experience all that Kodi has to offer. Lets get started :

debug

Because I use my PC to acquire screenshots, you’ll notice the information may not be the same as what you have on yours.

debug

Since we need to access the System Settings in Kodi, select the Cog Icon at the top of the page.

Click on System Settings.

Disable

Scroll down to Logging, then move the cursor up to Enable debug logging. Click anywhere in the blue area to Disable/Enable this feature. In addition to Debug, you will see Events listed below. Highly recommended to leave this section Enabled, Why you ask? If at any time kodi “crashes” or if there any issues with any Programs/Add-ons/Repositories, a Log File is the best method to diagnose what is occurring within. Disabling will prevent this useful tool to work properly.

Congratulations !

In Conclusion

Debug Logging can be done from within Kodi, but as a member of the Streaming World Forum, we think using the Ares Wizard is a more efficient and faster method. Here is one of the many FAQ’s we have listed in the Forum that will explain how to use it. Most noteworthy, when ever you upload a Log file anywhere, please ensure you have edited any personal information such as Passwords.

Click Here: Kodi Add-on by SkyDarks

Click Here is one of the newest Fork and it has a very clever name. Invoking you to just “click here” to get all the movies and tv shows you could ever want. This add-on doesn’t have any of the “extras” that some of the other forks have; however, it does work nicely. Click Here has all the sames features you enjoyed in Covenant including the ability to add Trakt and Debrid accounts. I like that the developer Swiper kept it close to the original and just changed up some artwork. Click Here: Current version of this addon is 1.0 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help. You can unblock many “dns censored” sources with a smartdns solution If you use p2p add ons, torrents, or in countries that prohibit streaming use a vpn from a reputable provider like Private Internet Access .

Project Cypher

This is an add on thats been around for a while, with a mix of content, mostly that I haven’t used to be honest, but its recently started to produce some good live streams with I think makes it worthy of recommending. I worked through some of the content this morning and there is a mix of stuff, but of real interest to me personally is the quality of the live links. The other content such as Lingerie Football and Lingerie Fighting is unique to the add on (AFAIK), plus there plenty of horror under the “dark side” link and Serial Killer content too, should that be your thing. Installing Project Cypher Click File Manager Double Click Add source Type this EXACTLY http://repo.run/cypherrepo/ Name the source, Project Cypher Return to the Kodi Home Screen Click System Click Add ons Click install from zip file Click Project Cypher Source Click Project Cypher zip file Wait for “add on enabled” notification Project Cypher Content The long list of live sports lin...

The Rabbit Hole: Kodi Add-on

The Rabbit Hole is a Kodi add-on brought to us by Thundercat and I have to say that I am happy to see Thundercat found a home. Some of you may remember this developer who was part of the Looking Glass Repo and brought us add-ons like Grub Hub and Blaze. Guess what!? Good news those two add-ons have been folded into the Rabbit Hole Add-on. Once you click on the add-on and open it you will see another menu item called the Rabbit Hole. After entering The Rabbit Hole you will be greeted with some familiar sections such as movies, tv shows, live tv, radio, and many other sections. The add-on will become popular quickly to keep reading and install this great add-on. The Rabbit Hole: Current version of this addon is 2.1 This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi Tv or XMBC foundations, please do not ask on their forums for help.

How to Change Font Size in a Krypton Build

Font Re-sizing in Krypton Font: A font is a set of printable or displayable text character s in a specific style and size. The type design for a set of fonts is the typeface and variations of this design form the typeface family. Builders create their Project based on a theme. It could be geared towards Sports, Movies, a Specific TV Show or Movie character. It could be Nature, Space or an Abstract theme, the limits are endless. But there is something else that is always taken into consideration when designing these builds. What size of text but most importantly the type of Font to use. You can have some of the most beautiful, spectacular background photos in a build. But it means nothing if the user can’t read the text used to maneuver their way inside it. Why Change the Font? Most users change the font size more often than the style due to a Visual Disability. Not everyone has 20/20 vision and it can be difficult to read a Build. Another rea...
