<div><br>
</div>
<div>Environment: Ubuntu 11.10</div>
<div><br>
</div>There are two different ways I can create a batch command to log messages from VLC:
<div><br></div><div>Method 1:</div><div><br>
</div>
<div> vlc --file-logging --logfile=Logs/vlc.log --verbose 3 <br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Method 2:</div><div> vlc --verbose 3 2>Logs/vlc.log</div><div><br></div><div>In the second case, I am just redirecting stderr to the log file.</div><div><br></div><div>Method 2 seems to capture more messages. For example, I am using remote control interface in vlc and I see more information from "oldrc" that I don't see in method 1. Here is an example:</div><div> [0x16859d8] oldrc interface debug: base: localhost, port: 4000<br></div><div><br></div><div>Although the verbosity level is the same in both cases, why does vlc behave differently?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Is there any additional flag I can supply in method 1 to achieve the same level of message logging?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance for your help.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Peter<br>
