Diagnostics

When a specific device misbehaves, the plugin's behaviour is invisible until you log it. These tools serve every role, so they sit on their own Diagnostics tab rather than under one feature.

• Log debug information records every request, the device's user-agent, and each codec/transcode decision to a log file you can open with View. Turn it on while troubleshooting (and to discover a device's user-agent for a profile), then off again — the log grows quickly. You can also clear it on each startup.
• Network is bandwidth constrained (Playback) tells the plugin that whenever it does transcode, it should use the device profile's lossy output (MP3/AAC/Ogg) rather than a large lossless one. Turn it on for slow Wi-Fi links.
• The Debug tab also carries low-level query tools intended for development; you can ignore them in normal use (see Other settings).

For day-to-day diagnosis the pattern is: enable logging → reproduce the problem → read the log → adjust the relevant device profile → disable logging.

Settings

Control	What it does
Log debug information	Logs every request, user-agent and codec decision to a file. On while troubleshooting, off otherwise.
Clear log on plugin startup	Empties the log each time the plugin starts.
View	Opens the current log file.
Clear log	Clears the log now.
Network is bandwidth constrained - transcode output to the lossy format set in the device profile above	When a transcode happens, use the device profile's lossy output format. For slow links. Requires a lossy format chosen in the profile's transcoding section.
