How to post debug logs for Remote Potato server/client

[Carlos]

From time to time, you may be asked to provide debug logs when we are handling a support/bug request. This post explains how to obtain this information, which you should then post to the forums AS AN ATTACHMENT.

Getting Debug Log Information From Remote Potato Server (you are able to reproduce the error)
ON YOUR PC:
1. Delete the file C:\ProgramData\RemotePotato\RPServer.log
2. Open the Remote Potato Settings App, and stop the server.
3. Select the 'Debug' tab and tick all the boxes.
4. Re-start the server.

THEN, ON YOUR CLIENT (WEB BROWSER / IPHONE):
5. Re-connect to the server and perform the step that you are having problems with. Note down any error messages that appear.

THEN, ON YOUR PC:
6. Open the file C:\ProgramData\RemotePotato\RPServer.log and post the contents here. (as an attachment)

Hi

I tried to play two recorded shows scheduled through remote potato and they did not stream and i played one that was already scheduled by media center that did play.

The file was too big so i went and only tried to play one of remote potato's recording. It would not let me upload . what should i do.

[Carlos]

Please delete the log file BEFORE performing the steps, then the log file will be small enough to upload.

i did erase it last time but went ahead and deleted it again and tried to play a show recorded through remote potato. Within 10 seconds the file was 1227 kb. What can i do it will not upload.

[davisob]

one more time. i tried to play it for only 2 seconds i will try to upload

I am still unable to stream live tv and no one seems to want to help me. How do I get my money back from the itunes store.

no one seems to want to help me.

The reason you've not had a reply is because you have been writing about your problem in the wrong thread! This thread is about "How to post debug logs". None of the moderators check this thread for replies, why would we? It's about posting debug logs, not your streaming problem. If you have a support request, you need to start a new thread.

To help you, I have set up a new thread to discuss your problem here - click here to read about it and let's try to resolve the issue for you.
