Links to log files Logitech-Media Server Log File and Scanner Log File point to the same file
Last modified: 2013-08-29 21:05:59 UTC
On settings / Information the two links at bottom "Logitech Media Server Log File" and "Scanner Log File" both point to "Logs/slimserver.log". It is not possible to see the scanner.log file. Suggested option. remove the "Scanner Log" text and link altogether. Or properly link the "Scanner Log" link
to be accurate: both link text are /../Logs/slimserver.log the link after "Logitech Media Server Log File" points to http://hostname:9000/server.log the one after "Scanner Log File" to http://hostname:9000/scanner.log. However both these URLs will in effect download the Logs/slimserver.log file. Confused?
What OS do you see this on? This isn't a common issue.
this i on archlinux
Pretty sure this is a platform specific or configuration issue. How did you install LMS? What command line parameters is it using?
I used the AUR package. And I will check the startup parameters. Is there a (more) complete instructions of the the parameters than the --help text? I see online --logfile as option. It is unclear if but I suppose that it is the slimserver.log. But where do I spec the scanner.log?
/opt/logitechmediaserver/slimserver.pl \ --prefsdir /opt/logitechmediaserver/prefs \ --cachedir /opt/logitechmediaserver/cache \ --logfile /opt/logitechmediaserver/Logs/slimserver.log Is how LMS is started.
> /opt/logitechmediaserver/slimserver.pl \ > --prefsdir /opt/logitechmediaserver/prefs \ > --cachedir /opt/logitechmediaserver/cache \ > --logfile /opt/logitechmediaserver/Logs/slimserver.log That's wrong (or outdated). use --logdir=/opt/logitechmediaserver/Logs instead (or whatever folder you prefer). It'll then create two separate log files in that folder.
Works great thanks. The wiki might need a refresher though.
