+How to Check VLC Log Files
+======
+
+While watching your favorite videos on VLC, you might encounter issues related to codecs, timestamps, video playback, and a lot more.
+
+But the good news is like you [check the logs of your firewall][1], you can do the same with VLC to trace the root cause of the error.
+
+📋
+
+Unlike Linux, VLC does not save logs automatically, and once closed, all the logs are removed automatically, so you have to save them manually.
+
+So make sure you save or read the log file before closing the VLC player.
+
+### Check and save VLC log files
+
+While it sounds complex, this is the easiest method that not only allows you to save logs but also lets you read them without saving them to a file.
+
+First, go to the `Tools` menu from the top menubar and select choose `Messages`, alternatively, you can also press `Ctrl + M` to save the same effect:
+
+![][2]
+
+And it will show logs related to the currently playing video file.
+
+Here, you have two choices: You can either read logs only or you can save them as well.
+
+Once you click on the `Messages`, you will notice a tab for the **Verbosity** so let's take a look at the effect of multiple verbosity options you have.
+
+  * `Errors`: This will only record the error messages only
+  * `Warnings`: It will conclude error and warning messages
+  * `Debug`: This level will include errors, warnings, and debug messages
+
+
+
+After choosing the appropriate verbosity option, soon you will see logs related to the chosen option.
+

+
+As you can see when I choose the `debug` option, it also included the warning logs.
+
+To save logs, hit the `Save as...` button and it will open the file manager, from there, choose where you can to save the file and give it the appropriate name:

+
+From here, you can identify the culprit causing errors.
