[RELEASE] XBMC Debug Log - Addon Script

**amet** · 2010-10-27 15:28

XBMC Debug Log will collect your logs and either copy them to a desired location or upload them to pastebin.com site.

So if you are having trouble with XBMC or Addons head over to Addon Manager (System->Addons->Get-Addons->XBMC.org addon repository->Program Addons) and install it.

in the addon settings set your e-mai for pastebin to send you the debug log link which you can use to post on the forums and destination folder if you decide to copy the logs to a different location.

Below are some screens:

I tried installing the debug log addon. Installation went ok but when I click on the pastebin icon, XBMC hangs hard.

In this particular case you might just have to do it the old fashion way.
Oh the beautiful irony.

Noticed this to, if the debug log gets over 1MB in size it hangs.
But i also notice that uploading larger files to pastebin.com manually, cause my browser to hang. Not always
but sometimes. Usually i just hit refresh a few times and it comes trough.

Maybe add another pastebin site alternative to this addon ?
pastebin.com seems unstable for larger files. And debug log on xbmc
can easilliy get over 5MB.

I really like the feature and its handy, pluss when helping user getting their
debug log its so much easier to make them use this addon then the manuall way Smile

How do you get it to send an email? There isn't an option.
