[vlc-devel] File logging versus message redirecting

[Peter Tap]

Hi Kaarlo,

Thank you for your  help.
The online documentation at http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html mentions that there is also a level 3.

However, I first tried it with level 2 and it was the same problem.

I also am a bit confused about the syntax. Is the right syntax "--verbose n" or "--verbose=n?"


Thanks
Peter

According to the command-line help, there isn't --verbose 3
"-v, --verbose=<integer>        Verbosity (0,1,2)
          This is the verbosity level (0=only errors and standard messages,
          1=warnings, 2=debug)."
