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:

|
|
|
|
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:

|
|
And now, you can open the log file using any text editor:

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