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 .

How to Stream Zgemma to Kodi

If you have one of zgemma or Vu (enigma based) device you may not be aware that you can access and control your device from Kodi. This is pretty simple and quick to setup and will open up a whole bunch of options for you eg. watch your recordings on any device with Kodi (on the same network), set recordings on your receiver from any device running Kodi on your home network ( this can also be dome remotely and I will cover this in another blog), check on what recordings are set and even delete them if needed. There is a bit of jumping around in this tutorial as I have to cover a few different scenarios, I hope this doesn’t make it confusing, but feel free to leave comments. I will have a section created on Ares Forum for more support if its needed. Setup Process Set Fixed IP on zGemma Check OpenWebIf is installed and set correctly.

Pron.tv, The New Alternative to Alluc.ee ? Part 2.

Pron.tv What is an API Code and in addition how will Pron.tv enhance my search results in Kodi. First of all, lets explain what an API Code is : Basically, an API specifies how software components should interact. Additionally, APIs are used when programming graphical user interface (GUI) components. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer then puts the blocks together. An application programming interface key ( API key ) is a code passed in by computer programs calling an application programming interface (API) to identify the calling program, its developer, or its user to the Web site. Pron.tv Add-on List As a result of following Part 1 , it was necessary to provide a List of Current Add-ons that have Pron.tv in their list of Scrapers. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of Add-ons with pron.tv while doing my research. I will give a brief descript...

Ares Wizard - Retro Gaming

The Ares Wizard has had a few upgrades to bring more of what users demand, easy android installs and retro gaming being sought by many, so grab yourself a game controller and prepare to transform your android boxes in a few clicks, retro gaming is now on the Ares Wizard! Archive Logins Just before we delve into those updates, I also wanted to point out that Mr Dobson has figured out how to log into Archive via Kodi – this may make your eyes glaze over, so I’ll be brief; the high demand builds hosted on Archive recently hit a problem, where Archive forced logins to download – normally something of a bind from android boxes. Well if you create any account (even if you don’t actually use it) this login can be entered and this allows downloads from Archive – Ares is the ONLY Wizard to be able to do this. (take note Ares does NOT store this info, so you will have to key it in each time you are prompted to do so) Android Apps A few additional apps have been added...

Ares Wizard Install Guide (July 14th)

A lot of testing has been going on behind the scenes to bring you a new, improved Ares Wizard. New, bigger, faster servers, rewritten code, new build hosts, new zip hosts, its been complete rebuild for the ground up. Its important to note that the Ares Wizard can run without its servers (they may go down in the future), but it then loses some of its functions, such as Add on & repository installs, and only 200 builds to choose from; it does retain all its maintenance and tweaking functions in this mode, so still very useful. ——————————————————— This add on is “unofficial” and therefore not supported by Kodi TV or XBMC foundation, please do not ask on their forums for help, goto ares-project.uk for further support. ——————————————————...
