Logging settings
Xplay’s logging settings allow you to specify the categories of events that you want to be
recorded in the Xplay log files, as well as the maximum number and size of Xplay log files
that will be archived.
As Xplay operates, Xplay events are recorded to a log text file, which is stored in the following
directory location:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VertigoXmedia\Logs
Since the Xplay log files thoroughly track and record Xplay’s events during operation, they
are a great tool to use for diagnosing error conditions or unexpected behaviors. In fact, our
Technical Support team will often ask its customers to send them the Xplay log file to help
them troubleshoot any unexpected behavior that you may be experiencing.

It is strongly recommended not run full logging while ON AIR as it unnecessarily increases
the CPU usage, which can decrease your system’s performance.
Figure 6-12. Xplay’s Logging settings
• Rollover count: Specifies the maximum number of Xplay*.log files that will be
stored. A large enough number should be chosen to store over a day's worth of logs.
This way if a problem happens the relevant log files will be available. Once the
maximum number of files is reached, the oldest log file will be replaced by a new one.
The default value is 5.
• Log file size (bytes): Sets the maximum memory size for each log file created per run.
The default value is 3145728 bytes.
• Log Level: This sets the default log level used by all logging categories except those
that have been checked in the Debug Categories list. The choices are:
• Error - Only log errors and major successful operations.
• Warn - Log unsuccessful operations that may indicate a problem (in addition
to all messages logged at the Error level).
• Info - Log important events that occur during normal conditions (in addition to
all messages logged at the Warn level).
