h1. Traces - verbose debugging 

 Please, *read this whole information*. If you *don't see [TRACE] lines in the log file*, you *misconfigured* something and we will ask you for new feedback which slows down the help process. 

 It is quite usual that a developer asks you to provide more verbose logs using the trace (verbose logs for development) which tvheadend includes. If you see --trace <comma_separated_list_of_subsystems> you need to follow this. 

 Compile tvheadend using --enable-trace option for the configure script see [[Building]] to compile tvheadend directly from sources. The traces are enabled by default, but packages - except debug versions - disable this functionality. 

 *!!! The [TRACE] lines are written only to the log file. You will not see them on console or syslog output. Please, enter the log file. !!!* 

 h2. Command-line 

 The first way to enable traces is from the command-line options (to specify the log file and all subsystems to debug), like: 

 <pre> 
 ./build.linux/tvheadend -l /tmp/tvheadend.log --trace htsp,subscription,pat,pmt,bat 
 </pre> 

 h2. Web UI 

 The second way is to use the debugging tab in the configuration (this settings is not preserved): 

 !debugging.png! 

 h2. h3. Example 

 You should see [    TRACE] lines in your log file (these lines are not in syslog file or journal)!
