Hi,

Is there a way to turn on some kind of verbose debugging logging on a stream?

On some streams we’re getting very choppy audio and I’m not sure if it is due to client’s connection or something else…

It would be nice to see things in that log that would help me determine if something’s wrong with the broadcaster and maybe tune the server to better suite the situation

Thanks!

You can turn on debug logging by editing conf/log4j.properties and changing the loglevel on the first line from INFO to DEBUG. Not sure this will help. It logs a ton of stuff.
