Bug #2108
syslog logging can't be disabled after activating
0%
Description
Hello,
I have enable the syslog logging via the webinterface and can't disable it any more.
Furthermore it seems there is a bug in the interface the checkbox isn't selected regardless if you enabled it or not.
Removing (purging) the apt and reinstall doesn't change anything.
Where is the value saved?

Changes to debug config in the webUI are not persisted to disk, specifically to stop people enabling verbose debug and then forgetting its enabled and flooding there disks. The only way you can make those changes permanent is to use the command line flags which can be set in /etc/default/tvheadend.
No idea whether the original report is true, but rejecting because the remainder suggests misconfiguration.

In my case, you can help me and tell me why my tvheadend acts totally different?

Perhaps I should mention that I am using the sources and build on my own.

Updated by I'm seeing the same behaviour as described: debug is not enabled (neither in /etc/default/tvheadend NOR in the web interface), yet my syslog is full of tvheadend debug info. I compiled tvheadend from the git sources on a ARM device.
I DON'T see the other problem OP describes (disfunctional checkboxes in the web interface).
Can you please re-open this issue as it's pretty definitely not a user mis-configuration (since more people are affected). If not, please advise on what the mis-configuration would be and how to fix it.
Thanks!

There's an un-answered forum thread (https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/14755?r=15700) which suggests patching "src/tvhlog.c" solves that problem, but even though I don't know C, this patch seems like it might just disable debug / logging permanently?!?
