Logging

If you have problem with Retrospect the first place to look is the retrospect.log file. It can be found in your user add-on data folder:

For Windows:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.retrospect\

or on a portable install here:

<Kodi Install Folder>\portable_data\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.retrospect\

On ATV2 you will find it here:

/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/Kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.retrospect/

On Raspberry Pi you will most likely find it here*:

/home/pi/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.retrospect/

Or here*:

/home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.retrospect/

And on OpenELEC/CoreElec you will find it here*:

/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.retrospect/

And on Android device*:

/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.retrospect/

* NOTE: Keep in mind that the .kodi path might be hidden on your OS.

Log level

The default level of logging is INFO. In order to generate a debug log you will need to change the log level to DEBUG. This can be done via the Retrospect add-on settings. After you changed the log level make sure to reproduce you problem. That way more information on your problem is logged.

Retrieving the log

Retrieving the log file can be done in two ways:

  • Uploading the log file using the built-in functionality from the Retrospect add-on settings. This will upload it to https://paste.kodi.tv
  • Manually fetching the retrospect.log from your Kodi system using a file/ftp/sftp explorer.
